Connected Energy’s Post

The UK has seen some positive reforms in the energy sector over recent months. The announcement of Great British Energy, the new Connections reform project - which should speed up grid connections - and changes to the BESS derating are all welcome moves. We spoke to Robert Moore, Chief Business Development Officer on his views of the changes and their impact on the energy storage market. #GreatBritishEnergy #UKEnergyPolicy #renewables #netzero ➡️ Read now: https://lnkd.in/eKU6fJuT

Try our free online calculator to measure your needs for battery storage alongside EV charging infrastructure rollout. 🚗🔋 Be it for a fleet depot, charging hub, EV dealership, or workplace, battery energy storage can support EV charging. Our systems can help reduce the need for grid upgrades and help manage peak demand so that you can get the power you need for EV charging at the speed and scale required. #evcharging #emobility #batterystorage #evindustry ➡️ Use it now: https://lnkd.in/dRwGunZD

Revenue generation is often a key primary or secondary goal of an organisation’s decision to install #BESS, but how can you use grid services to generate revenue? 📈💡 An energy aggregator will calculate the amount of service you provided for energy trading and grid balancing services each month. A typical agreement with an energy aggregator would see a revenue share as their payment as this encourages them to make the most value from the assets. Head of Data Services, Frazer Wagg, says: “This revenue can help you to cover the cost of the system itself in anything between five and seven years. Lately, as energy prices have increased and the energy market has become more volatile, we have seen more opportunity to gain revenue through this model.” #batteryenergystorage #renewableenergy #energymarkets ➡️ Find out more about energy trading and flexibility markets in our article: https://lnkd.in/evKW5hSs

With the UK’s publication of its Battery Strategy in late 2023, and ongoing talk about battery passports, Connected Energy’s Matthew Lumsden recently discussed the importance of safety and building partnerships for reliable battery storage with BESTmag. #circulareconomy #batterystorage #electricvehicles #batterytechnology ➡️ Read now: https://lnkd.in/eb8atNwv

Grid supply ‘challenge’ to electric truck rollout 🚚⚡ An electric truck requires up to 50 times the power of a typical charge point used to charge a car or a van. However, in most cases, the grid connection serving fleet operators, dealerships, and service centres may not support this charging infrastructure, according to Connected Energy. #electricvehicle #evindustry #batterystorage #circulareconomy #automotiveindustry 👉 Thanks to Fleet News for sharing this piece: https://lnkd.in/dJ52p7qM
