Arizona Electric Power Cooperative (AEPCO) has been selected to receive $485 million in USDA New ERA funding to transform its power portfolio with major investments in new large-scale solar, battery energy storage, and wind projects. These new projects will benefit 40 electric not-for-profit cooperatives and public power utilities across Arizona and the Southwest. With these new projects, AEPCO expects to reduce emissions by 70 percent before 2031. Patrick Ledger, CEO of AEPCO, emphasized that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's New ERA Program has created a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" for AEPCO and its members to invest in utility-scale renewable energy projects without compromising affordability. "This funding will enhance the not-for-profit, community-based electric utility model and will provide stable and long-term benefits for our rural communities for years to come," Ledger added.

I've had the privilege of traveling across the length and breadth of the country—from Penrith to Plymouth—engaging with landowners about the exciting possibilities in renewable energy. Over the past months, I’ve been focused on identifying and securing prime sites for solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. Each conversation is an opportunity to share the many benefits of renewable energy, not just for our environment but for the landowners and local communities. By offering opportunities to host solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, we’re not only helping them diversify their income streams but also providing a sustainable path forward for their land. It’s incredibly rewarding to help find solutions for landowners, some who have had frustrating times of late. At Tyler Hill Renewables, we’re committed to driving the UK’s transition to a greener future, one project at a time. Here’s to building a sustainable future! 🌍 #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #LandAcquisition #CleanEnergy #BESS

🌍 Excited for the Future of Sustainability! I'm thrilled to attend this event, as it aligns perfectly with my passion for building a sustainable future. 🌱 As an Electrical Engineer with a recently completed Master’s in Applied AI, I’m deeply committed to investing my time and efforts into initiatives that drive us closer to achieving our Net Zero Carbon Emission goals. With a strong belief that technology and innovation are key enablers in this journey, I’m eager to learn, connect, and collaborate with like-minded professionals. I look forward to sharing insights and contributing to discussions on how AI and advanced electrical systems can play a pivotal role in the energy transition. Together, let’s work toward a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future! 🌐🔋💡 #Sustainability #NetZero #AI #CleanEnergy #ElectricalEngineering #FutureOfEnergy #GreenTech #Innovation

“We’ve got to build 22GW of wind and solar to get to our target in 2035 and if we do that in an uncoordinated way it would lead to terrible outcomes for communities.”   Leanne Caelers, Executive Director, Transmission and Transformation, at the Department of Energy and Public Works (Queensland) shares how Renewable Energy Zones are one component of a coordinated system plan and the importance of simplicity in executing the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan effectively for all Queenslanders.   More insights from our Transmission Network Forum at https://bit.ly/3CFCIbN   #PQForum #SuperGrid #QREZ #REZ #discussion #community #developers #energy #renewableenergy

Why K7 solar micro grids? One of the key benefits of implementing alternative solar energy micro power grids in K7 multifamily communities is the significant reduction in operating expenses. By generating renewable energy on-site, properties can reduce or eliminate their dependence on conventional energy sources, leading to substantial cost savings. #alternativeinvestments #privateequity #k7capitalpartners #impactinvesting Murari Appan Senthil Kumaraswamy Avinash Wadhwani Shabnna Babu Harshal Shah Sandra K.

🚀 Exciting times to be in the energy sector! 🌍 Today, the Prime Minister and Energy Secretary announced a ground breaking partnership between Great British Energy and The Crown Estate, set to drive up to £60 billion in private investment towards energy independence. Great British Energy, backed by £8.3 billion, will be at the forefront of making Britain a clean energy superpower. This initiative will invest in clean power projects across the UK, including nuclear energy, ensuring that the benefits are felt by British communities and bill payers. Key highlights: - Nuclear Energy: Investing in safe and sustainable nuclear power as part of the clean energy mix. The UK currently operates 8 nuclear reactors, contributing significantly to the country’s electricity supply. New investments will focus on expanding this capacity to ensure a stable and low-carbon energy source. - Offshore Wind Development: Aiming for 20-30GW of new offshore wind by 2030, enough to power nearly 20 million homes. - Public Sector Role: Early development work to reduce risks for developers and accelerate project timelines. - Technological Boost: Supporting innovations in carbon capture, hydrogen, wave, and tidal energy. Legislation is already in motion to empower this partnership, marking a significant step towards clean power by 2030! 🌱💡 #UKEnergy #RenewableEnergy #NuclearEnergy #GreatBritishEnergy #GreatBritishNuclear
