ICYMI: In Texas, rising electricity demand and inadequate investment in dispatchable electricity sources, such as natural gas and batteries, are putting grid reliability at risk. Reliability in ERCOT, the state’s grid operator, can be enhanced by deploying a portfolio of “insurance” options, write energy experts Peter R. Hartley, Kenneth B. Medlock III, and Shih Yu (Elsie) Hung. “Allowing risks to reliability that can be avoided at reasonable cost is unacceptable. … Resource adequacy and reliability are in the best interests of all market participants — producers and consumers alike.” 📖 Read the full report.

Recently, the Grid Deployment Office announced that six projects were selected to receive up to $10.6 million to improve state and regional engagement in wholesale electricity markets. We’re highlighting each selectee to dive deeper into their plans to identify and implement market improvements. First up, NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials! 💵 Amount: $3 million ✅ Goal: Inform state energy offices about regional wholesale market design and how they impact resilience and resource adequacy through informational materials and trainings/convenings. They plan to examine how state-level integrated resource planning can be coordinated with broader regional goals to enable state success and to engage local governments and other stakeholders (such as the private sector and community groups) that state energy offices work with on resilience, reliability, and market issues.

Leadership Coach | Vice President and CHRO at API - American Petroleum Institute
Today, API unveiled its 2024 State of American Energy to set the energy policy agenda in the halls of Congress and in regulatory agencies. The agenda promotes diverse energy resource development, spearheaded by U.S. oil and natural gas projects, to protect consumer choice and prioritize affordability, reliability and security. Policymakers must focus on energy access, national security, and infrastructure. The vast majority of Americans – 85 percent – want reliable U.S. energy, not foreign imports.

The Texas and California grid operators’ generator interconnection processes are the best among U.S. regional transmission system operators, according to an interconnection scorecard released by Advanced Energy United. The PJM Interconnection came in last with a D-minus followed by ISO New England at a D+, with both grid operators scoring especially poorly on their use of regional transmission planning and the usefulness of their interconnection alternatives, such as sharing or transferring existing interconnection points.

Great to have been involved in writing our latest flash update looking at the latest government response on long-duration energy storage. If you want to know more, give one of our team a call! Ben Brown Simon Davies With thanks to Zoe P. for making this digital. #energystorage #EnergyTransition #LDES
The UK Government has announced that it will provide financial support for long-duration energy storage (LDES) through a cap and floor mechanism. There are two application routes: 🟩 Stream 1 for established technologies (100MW, TRL 9) and; 🟩 Stream 2 for novel technologies (50MW, TRL 8, under review) The application window for the LDES cap and floor regime is expected to open in 2025, pending final decisions from the government and Ofgem on key details, which will be outlined later this year or in pre-qualification information. Find out more on what this means for the #EnergyTransition: https://lnkd.in/e3CSN3EP Read out to the team to find out more: Ben Brown, Simon Davies, Rory Budworth and Clare Keates
