Congratulations to Daniel Brooks for being re-appointed as a member of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC)! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/gt82HHq2 The EAC plays a crucial role in advising the DOE's Office of Electricity (OE) on current and future electric grid reliability, resilience, security, and more. With a total of 40 members, the committee is an important component of OE's strategy to improve its electric grid research, development, and demonstration portfolio and program activities. ⚡🔋 #Energy #ElectricGrid #DOE #Innovation #Sustainability

It’s National Drive Electric Week! EPRI has conducted research on electric vehicles and its infrastructure for decades. With EPRI’s EVs2Scale2030, electric companies, auto manufacturers, federal agencies, charging providers and more are working together to accelerate the development of EV charging infrastructure to stay on pace with 2030 carbon reduction goals. Its eRoadMAP is an interactive tool actively updated to help users visualize the energy needs to electrify transportation at a local level for light, medium, and heavy-duty electric vehicles. To help consumers navigate the expanding landscape, EPRI created the EV Consumer Guide to provide drivers with in-depth knowledge about the different types of EVs, features to look out for, and insights on their unique benefits—from emissions reduced to savings on fuel! https://lnkd.in/eeUtTkTd Through collaboration and research, EPRI is helping address the challenges and opportunities needed to drive us toward an electrified, equitable, and reliable clean energy future. #NDEW2024

Neva Espinoza, Chief Generation Officer, will represent EPRI at the G20's 7th Energy Transitions Working Group Meeting in Brazil on Tuesday, October 1. As countries around the world set decarbonization goals, Neva will present on the importance of an all-options approach to balance affordability and reliability on the path to net-zero. The second meeting of the Energy Transitions Working Group focuses on key global themes like accelerating financing for energy transitions, promoting a just and inclusive transition, and sustainable fuel innovation. Brazil, now co-chair of the Clean Energy Ministerial, is playing a central role in advancing these priorities. This meeting brings together global energy leaders ahead of the G20 Summit in November. #G20 #EnergyTransition #NetZero #EPRI

EPRI's Hydropower Generation Manager, Francisco Kuljevan, recently sat with María Luisa Castaño Marín and Jose A. Martinez on the Conversaciones del Foro de Energia - Unlocking the Energy Trilemma podcast. https://lnkd.in/dkPQAEjV En 2023, la energía hidroeléctrica generó el 14% del suministro mundial de electricidad, situándose como tercera fuente de electricidad, por detrás del carbón y el gas. En el podcast se habló del presente y futuro de este recurso energético, su papel en la Transición Energética, almacenamiento de energía gracias al bombeo de agua, etc. In 2023, hydropower generated 14% of the world's electricity supply, ranking as the third source of electricity generation, behind coal and gas. The podcast discussed the present and future of this energy resource, its role in the Energy Transition and energy storage thanks to pumped storage, etc. At EPRI, we collaborate with organizations worldwide, driving innovation to ensure the public has a clean, safe, reliable, affordable, and equitable access to electricity. We appreciate the opportunity to share EPRI's energy generation expertise through this international program, which underscores the importance of collective efforts in achieving a sustainable energy future. Francisco, along with Alan Ettlinger from New York Power Authority also discussed the history and future of hydropower in this episode of the EPRI Current podcast: https://lnkd.in/eJsZ-XnP.

A new Newsweek article (“Is AI a Climate Hero or a Climate Villain”) quoted David Porter, Vice President of Electrification and Sustainable Energy Strategy at EPRI, and referenced a recent EPRI white paper on data centers. The article cited data from EPRI’s report on AI and data center energy consumption that estimates that data centers could consume up to nine percent of all U.S. electricity generation by the decade's end, an increase from about four percent today. According to the article, David Porter said EPRI is working with tech and electric utility companies to meet the demand for clean electrons. "The biggest challenge for the utility executives is still the timing and how quickly they can bring resources to bear to match up with the data centers," Porter said.

EPRI’s #EVs2Scale2030 initiative is driving us towards an electrified future —but researchers need your help. As EV adoption grows, consumer input is crucial. Teaming up with Plug In America, the duo has launched several surveys since 2023 aimed at understanding consumer sentiment around electric vehicle adoption. In our latest survey, researchers are hoping to understand how factors around pricing and payment transparency play a role in consumer decision-making. Help us by taking a few moments to fill out the brief survey below! Interested in what we’ve learned so far? EPRI’s recent Fourth Annual EV Driver Survey breaks down insights such as what the current EV driver profile looks like, the biggest concerns drivers have, and how likely it is drivers’ next car purchase will be an electric one (nearly 90%!).
