A quick guide to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) roadmap for the energy transition and future electricity demand, generation, transmission, and storage in the National Electricity Market through to 2050. #AEMO #netzero #natgas #emissionsreduction #climatechange #energy #power #ghg #gasfired #keepingthecountryrunning

🚨 Big news in Texas! 🚨 For the first time ever, the Lone Star State will connect its ERCOT grid to the US grid, thanks to a $1.5B federal grant from the Department of Energy. These game-changing projects will add 1,000 miles of new transmission lines, boosting grid capacity by 7,100 MW and making energy more reliable and cost-effective. The connection between Texas and the Southeast grids is a major step towards a more resilient, interconnected grid that can better handle extreme weather events and support renewable energy. Plus, it will create nearly 9,000 jobs across six states! #ERCOT #TexasGrid #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #DOE https://lnkd.in/eGNa8dRD

🤔 What is the future of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP)? 👉 Integrated System Planning (ISP) 👈 ISP is a holistic planning method, which views what have traditionally been disparate systems as one integrated system which must be planned for accordingly. ISP optimizes infrastructure build decisions, considering generation, transmission, energy storage, renewables, V2G, hydrogen and gas systems, among others. 🚫 Stop planning in silos & adopt a more integrated and holistic view of the planning processes with ISP. Learn all about ISP, including a suggested approach and real-world case studies, in the presentation ‘The Future of IRP: Integrated System Planning’: https://bit.ly/3Wq1Qy5 #IntegratedResourcePlanning #EnergyPlanning #EnergyTransition #PLEXOS

We love teaming on these mega projects >> Power delivery of Renewable generation.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released a Transmission Interconnection Roadmap, highlighting the critical role of grid modernization in achieving a cleaner, more resilient energy future. This roadmap expands upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's work and outlines key strategies to streamline the interconnection process for renewable energy projects. The roadmap's focus on improving coordination among stakeholders and leveraging innovative technologies underscores the importance of collaboration and innovation in advancing our energy infrastructure. Commenters on the draft report include ENGIE North America Inc., Invenergy and National Grid.

“At its core, integrated system planning increases coordination between process that have been largely siloed, with a goal of planning infrastructure to meet reliability, affordability and decarbonization objectives.” – Utility Dive 👉 But, what exactly is Integrated System Planning (ISP)? ISP is a new planning methodology for optimizing infrastructure build decisions, considering generation, transmission, energy storage, renewables, V2G, hydrogen and gas systems, among others. It encompasses a more integrated and holistic view of the planning processes. 💻 Dive into ISP in our blog and learn why it’ll be necessary to adopt for utilities and energy organizations to plan effectively and successfully: https://bit.ly/3vX2198 #IntegratedSystemPlanning #ResourcePlanning #EnergyTransition #PLEXOS

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the graphs below, as produced by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly? Answer: In 2023, the U.S. added 6.2 gigawatts (1,000 megawatts) of wind energy capacity, yet produced 9.06 million LESS megawatt-hours of electricity for our country. So with 4.4% more wind energy generation capacity added in 2023 vs. 2022, the U.S. wind industry produced 2.1% less energy in 2023 vs. 2022. What does this fact caution you about our energy future?

The U.S. Department of Energy is investing $1.5 billion into key electricity transmission projects. Among them is the Cimarron Link in Oklahoma, a 400-mile HVDC line delivering 1,900 MW of renewable energy, supported by critical substations. These upgrades will strengthen grid resilience, add capacity, and support growing power demands in the region. https://lnkd.in/dHC56Crs #EnergyNews #RenewableEnergy #GridResilience #InfrastructureDevelopment #Substations #Oklahoma

The UK is aiming to lead offshore wind technology by approving £85.6m in funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult to upgrade testing facilities, enabling development of next-generation larger and more efficient wind turbines.
