It’s American Clean Power Week! 🎉 All week long, we’re celebrating how clean energy powers our economy. The clean energy industry is creating good-paying jobs, supporting local and national economic growth and spurring investment in communities and supporting landowners. Let’s #PowerTheEconomy with clean energy. Learn about #ACPW24, an entire week of advocacy dedicated to supporting the ways clean energy is building a better future for the U.S.: bit.ly/ACPW24

As we join the industry and American Clean Power Association (ACP) in celebrating #ACPW24, it's a great time to reflect on the profound impact clean energy has on our communities. Clean energy projects aren't just powering homes—they're powering our economy too. Dive deeper into how clean energy is shaping our future in our latest blog. Check it out in the comments below! #PowerTheEconomy #PowerForGood

Clean energy projects benefit local communities and the careers of people living in these communities. Clean energy projects create more reliable and secure energy infrastructure while increasing revenue. #ACPW24 #PowerTheEconomy bit.ly/ACPW24

Here's a wonderful milestone on the journey to #sustainability: the moment the UK finally ended 130 years of coal-fired generation of electricity, by turning off, permanently, the last coal-fired power station. #CleanEnergy #JourneyToNetZero #NoMoreCoalForElectricity https://lnkd.in/eFhcQ-QX

Utilities and state governments are pushing full steam ahead with decarbonization plans that will lead to costlier energy and power blackouts.

Top stories today (£) ⚡ Stark backtracks on feasibility of 2030 target https://buff.ly/3TzE8x0 The government’s target to decarbonise the electricity system by 2030 is at the “the fringes” of what is possible, Chris Stark has admitted. It represents a backtracking from the head of Mission Control for Clean Power 2030, who previously stated that the target was not feasible in his previous role as chief executive of the Climate Change Committee. However, Stark stressed that the 2030 target will not be delivered without further policy reforms. 💷 Water woes put spotlight on energy networks’ finances https://buff.ly/3XMZPMG Ofgem has proposed a review of the ring-fencing arrangements for energy networks to prevent the emergence of problems that have been seen in the retail and water sectors in recent years. The regulator said changes in the ownership and corporate structure of energy networks have reduced the level of scrutiny they face and left them more susceptible to financial engineering. 💧 Supply chain bemoans water companies’ lack of innovation https://buff.ly/3XzLfGP Water companies need to better engage with suppliers, contractors and consultants to embed a culture of innovation after a sector-wide survey of supply chain partners showed a low willingness to adopt innovation. The survey rated each UK water and wastewater company on 12 categories including professionalism, contractual approach and communication.

Was it Jim Skea in an IPPC report who said we can’t ask which is the right solution, we need ALL of them? I think that’s where I sit with CCS. There are things we have to be cracking on with for fast impact (hallo, energy demand reduction and grid) which could have been a better place for this spend, but it’s also true that we’re in such deep doo-doo that we’re going to need CCS. But, it’s not the tech cavalry galloping to save us (more like a slow trot) and must not prolong the life of fossil fuelled energy. So, much like offsets, this comes AFTER we’ve done everything else we can possibly do. Sure, we’ve got to crack on with building the thing but CCS is like the morning-after team after a big rave - you’ve got to minimise the trash to give them a chance to clean the place. (And yes, I draw on the brilliant Honest Govt Ad to fuel my cynicism here too)

The article delves into FERC's decision to reassess the transmission incentive policies, particularly in light of the significant challenges faced by the industry in transitioning to a more sustainable and resilient grid infrastructure.
