According todays ENERGY MINUTE, the US Energy Information Administration monthly report states that Texas is planning to add more than 20 gigawatts of electrical generating capacity in 2024. In a state known for oil and gas production, more than **97 percent** of that new capacity is going to be solar, wind, or batteries and very little is based on fossil fuels.

March 2024, the Energy Bill Discount Scheme (EBDS) will come to an end removing the last protection businesses in the UK have to sudden price hikes. In the latest iteration of our Newsletter, we look at the impact this has on businesses and what you can do to reduce exposure. 💡

Our January Newsletter looks at the conclusion of the government energy support coming in March of this year. We discuss the impact this will have on businesses and actions you can take to lessen the cost implications. Check it out on the link below. #Newsletter #EBDS #EnergyBright https://lnkd.in/epAX4ciw

⚡As we celebrate today #NationalRenewableEnergyDay, let's spotlight a remarkable achievement that resonates deeply within #Germany—a leader in the global transition towards renewable energy.    🤔 Germany has set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and significantly increasing its use of renewable resources. But did you know that that there's an essential connection between renewable energy and #hydrogen? When produced from renewable energy sources by the #electrolysis of water, hydrogen emits no greenhouse gases. With its vast potential, hydrogen stands as a cornerstone in Germany's strategy for achieving a sustainable and secure energy future.    Dive into our journey at E.ON Hydrogen and learn how you can contribute to Germany's sustainability goals.    Discover.

We can only share so many facts and figures about the benefits of solar panels, but sometimes it's best to hear them straight from someone who has had them installed. Meet Roland, he recently had solar panels installed with Project Solar and took some time out to chat with us about his experience. You can hear what he had to say here 👉 https://lnkd.in/evNAvmg5 #Testimonial #ProjectSolar #SolarPanels

Really interesting article from my colleague Matthew Riley regarding NED appointments. 👏 👏 👏 If you are thinking to get some external support and you want to get the best results for your business, before taking a decision about who to partner with, have a read.

With the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) infusing $8.8 billion in home energy rebates nationwide, people are asking, “How can utilities assist in the mission of the IRA?” In July, Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) took steps to answer that question by tapping into leaders across the energy efficiency space and publishing its findings in “Expanding the Energy Savings Pie: Attribution Frameworks to Align IRA Home Energy Rebates and State Programs.” Join Franklin Energy as NEEP hosts a deep dive moderated by Stacey Paradis, Commissioner at Illinois Commerce Commission, to look at IRA-funded programs, examine IOU participation, and explore what attribution could look like. Don't miss Erin Cosgrove, Esq. talking through the report, Roshena Ham from Duke Energy comparing current utility program offerings, and Alyssa Latuchie, Franklin Energy’s Director of Market Development, discussing how PUCs, SEOs and IOUs can come together.

Energy storage solutions will become increasingly lucrative as renewable capacity continues to grow

"European power prices have fallen below zero for a record number of hours this year, as the rapid development of solar and wind generation outpaces the continent’s ability to deal with excess supply." "The growth [in Europe's solar and wind capacity] has helped to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and cut emissions, with the output from wind and solar farms in Europe surpassing that from fossil fuel power plants during the first half of this year for the first time." "However, batteries and other storage or flexibility options have not developed as quickly, meaning there are more and more periods where generators are in effect paying consumers to use up excess electricity." "Jones at ICIS believes negative pricing will 'largely be solved' by 2030 as Europe builds more batteries and installs more electrolysers to make hydrogen." "These devices use electricity to split hydrogen from water, providing an extra source of flexible demand for electricity, which can help prevent negative pricing." #EUElectricity #Renewables #FT
