Improving energy efficiency in cities and industries is expected to contribute more to climate goals than expanding renewable energy over the next five years. We need both to reduce energy demand and expand clean energy sources to address climate change. Yet energy efficiency is often de-prioritized even though it is essential to meet climate goals, reduces waste and saves money. Amory Lovins founded RMI to promote efficient energy use over 40 years ago. And energy efficiency is just as important now as it was then — and deserves top billing on business and government agendas. That’s why at #ClimateWeekNYC we’re launching the Energy Efficiency Hub — a go to resource to illustrate pragmatic solutions available for deployment now, that can reduce up to $4.5 trillion wasted every year on inefficient systems. Visit the Energy Efficiency Hub to get inspired and learn why efficiency matters, and how to improve our built environments, industry, transportation, and electricity systems! https://bit.ly/3Xt6Voa #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ClimateGoals

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 🌎 is celebrated on June 5th and serves as a global platform to raise awareness and encourage action for the protection of our environment. Electric utilities like TCLP are at the forefront of the transition to cleaner energy sources, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Here are some notable initiatives and commitments from TCLP that are contributing to a greener and more sustainable future: ✅ Transition to Renewable Energy ✅Energy Storage Solutions ✅Smart Grid Technologies ✅Beneficial Electrification Programs ✅Energy Efficiency Programs Want to learn more about 𝙏𝘾𝙇𝙋'𝙨 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙨?

We're excited to invite you to an engaging panel session at the Australian Energy Week conference, on the 13th of June, from 10:20 am, where industry experts will discuss the future of grid efficiency and support for renewable generation and storage. Professor and Director of the centre, Magnus Söderberg, along with Craig Stallan - Executive General Manager, Lumea (Transgrid Group), Alistair Parker - Chief Executive Officer, VicGrid, Kala Saban, Associate Director, Rewiring the Nation, Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) will answer the question "What regulation would improve grid efficiency and support developers of renewable generation and storage?" Topics we’ll cover in the conversation are: 🔹 Which reforms can help reduce re-work and improve efficiency, or do we need less regulation altogether? 🔹 Is the Connections Reform Initiative a realistic solution to delays and the increasing complexity in connections? 🔹 How important are repeatable outcomes and predictable connection processes? 🔹 How can a collaborative working model between industry, AEMO, and the NSPs be facilitated? The session will be moderated by Phil Blythe, Founding Director, Climate Tech Assembly. Join us and be part of the conversation. We look forward to seeing you there!

"The argument is that we should relax about the thermal efficiency and instead prioritise switching out gas boilers for heat pumps, and building out renewable energy infrastructure. And so proceeds a tussle between the fabric-firsters and the fabric-laterers, or even neverers" "We can wring our hands while the fossil-invested reap the rewards, or we can work together to deploy the sensible, practical solutions we have now" Smith Mordak, CEO of UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) urges the sector to stop squabbling on decarbonisation and work together on practical solutions to present to government #ukhousing #netzero https://lnkd.in/e3e2xt3u

#DidYouKnow Despite a significant rise in U.S. electricity demand—projected to increase by 68.6% by 2050—the overall greenhouse gas emissions rate is expected to drop by 67.3% over the same period.    This reduction in emissions, driven by advancements in decarbonizing electrical infrastructure and investments in renewable energy, is a promising step towards a more sustainable future. While total decarbonization isn't yet on the horizon, the progress is substantial.    How will these changes impact our energy landscape and carbon footprint? Discover more about this evolving scenario here: https://lnkd.in/gEh3PHsq     #Decarbonization #GreenEnergy #Sustainability 

Power generation, important for sustainable development, is evolving to reduce its carbon footprint significantly. To effectively combat climate change and meet international sustainability objectives, advancing decarbonization strategies within the power industry is imperative. How can we achieve this? By accelerating the adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, integrating advanced energy storage solutions, and optimizing grid efficiency through smart technologies, we can build a future where clean and dependable energy fuels our world sustainably and responsibly. Every step towards cleaner power is a stride against climate change – let's make it happen. #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #ClimateAction #GreenEnergy #CleanPower #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization #SmartGrid
