https://lnkd.in/gFTUvH8H Interesting sections on Energy Storage and Carbon Capture's respective roles in the energy transition landscape in South East Asia in the latest report from PFI

We recently contributed to PFI’s Global Energy Report 2024 exploring how the offshore wind and battery storage sectors continue to represent attractive investment opportunities, particularly within the Polish market. We look at what has been done and what is being done by major players in the sector as well as the challenges which businesses face as we look towards to the future of offshore wind and battery storage.

LT2 Directive: "November 28, 2024 IESO directed to proceed with several electricity supply initiatives The Minister of Energy and Electrification directed the IESO to launch the second long-term procurement for electricity supply (the “LT2”) by March 2025, and set out a number of parameters for the procurement including targets, contract length, siting restrictions and requirements, and incentives to be integrated into the IESO evaluation process. The IESO was also directed to enter into a capacity sharing agreement with Hydro-Québec Energy Marketing Inc., to amend the amended and restated contract with Ontario Power Generation Inc. for the Atikokan Generating Station, and to report back on the development of a Local Generation Program for small-scale electricity generation resources that are connected to the distribution system." https://lnkd.in/gMYh-DvG #ontario #energypolicy #electricity #energy

📢 In December 2023, the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) submitted a vital recommendation to the European Commission regarding amendments to the network codes on requirements for grid connection of generators (RfG Regulation) and on demand connection (DC Regulation). These recommendations are pivotal for ensuring the smooth integration of electricity generators and demand connections into the grid infrastructure across EU member states. They play a crucial role in harmonizing grid connection procedures and establishing a consistent framework for electricity generation and consumption throughout the EU. ➡ On the AGISTIN (Horizon Europe project) webinar “Perspectives on Grid Connection Networks for Energy Storage”, we’ll decode the complexity of grid connection network amendments, and address the implications of the network codes on grid connection networks for energy storage, featuring presentations from AGISTIN and iStentore projects use cases. ✅ If you are an Energy storage developers and operators, an electricity generator, a grid operator, a policy maker or regulator, a research institution or an energy expert interested in this topic, you can’t miss the opportunity to expand your understanding of grid connection networks and their important role in shaping the future of energy storage. ▶ More info at https://lnkd.in/dw62pTfm

🌍 Two years after the commissioning of the IGB pipeline, Gas Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (ICGB) AD has significantly enhanced Bulgaria's energy security. With plans to expand the pipeline’s capacity to 5 bcm/y and initiatives like the Alexandroupolis Floating Storage Regasification Unit, the company is paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable energy future. Could this dynamic infrastructure duo redefine Southeastern Europe’s energy landscape?
