How will climate change-driven water constraints impact the UK's path to Net Zero?    The Energy Water Nexus project, commissioned by National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) and National Gas Transmission (NGT), examines how water constraints caused by climate change could impact the design of a Net Zero energy system by 2050.    Key findings include:    💦 Limited water access could drive up renewable capacity and cooling costs.  💦 Coastal thermal generation may improve resilience but challenge network stability.  💦 Water constraints affect hydrogen and district heat networks in varied ways.    Download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/etx4j9wr

Local energy priorities can’t be sidelined.    In his latest blog, Andrew Clark, Business Leader – Place, explores how Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs) can shape the future of local energy systems.     With Ofgem pushing for regional input, it's crucial for local authorities to actively engage in the planning process and ensure their priorities are heard.    Andrew covers:    👉 The critical role of network capacity in enabling Net Zero projects  👉 The need for local authorities to provide evidence-based plans  👉 How Local Area Energy Plans (LAEPs) can inform RESP development    Make your region's energy priorities a reality:  https://lnkd.in/exn3tZHP

200 schools and hospitals across the UK will receive up to £180 million in funding for solar panels from Great British Energy.    Responding to the announcement, Christine St John Cox, platform lead – complex site decarbonisation, at Energy Systems Catapult, said:    “Energy Systems Catapult welcomes the targeted investment supporting the decarbonisation of the public sector estate, with solar PV enhancing energy security for hospitals and schools. Primarily focusing funding on schools in deprived areas not only addresses energy challenges but also holds promise for improving educational outcomes.”   “Through Innovate UK funding, we have been developing a robust system to generate a comprehensive view of energy use and decarbonisation opportunities across the UK. That said, a critical challenge remains – decarbonisation must also see a transition of the heat load away from fossil fuels.   “To decarbonise public sector buildings, the Department for Education and the NHS face estimated costs of around £30 billion for schools and £8 billion for health. This underscores the urgent need to accelerate progress toward Net Zero through access to innovative finance solutions.”   https://lnkd.in/eriPkCZC
