This morning, ELM’s Elizabeth Turnbull Henry joined Ken Kimmell, Carrie Cullen Hitt, Rebecca Ullman, and moderator Collin A. Young, for State House News Service’s ‘Headwinds for Offshore Wind’ panel. “There have been hard headlines for offshore wind recently, but the actual bad news is about climate change. Offshore wind is our single biggest clean energy resource in New England… ELM and #NE4OSW remain fully committed to harnessing it in a timely and responsible way.” - Elizabeth Turnbull Henry. Below are Elizabeth’s main takeaways from the discussion: We celebrate Governor Healey’s tri-state procurement agreement which deepens regional collaboration and drives economies of scale and cost savings. We applaud the progress on regional transmission planning and encourage more leadership on networked offshore transmission in the days ahead. We are troubled by the disinformation fueling local conflicts. Great reporting and research, like from Brown University (https://lnkd.in/erPBAvQm), are mapping the connections between fossil-fuel funders and deceptive content. We need effective strategies to address disinformation and equip residents with science-based facts for decisions. - - - #OffshoreWind #CleanEnergy Avangrid, SouthCoast Wind, Vineyard Offshore

ELM Corporate Council member Form Energy reached a major milestone on Wednesday, receiving $405M in new funding for their production of longer-lasting alternatives to lithium batteries. The company's affordable and scalable technology has proven to be a massive advancement in sustainable energy storage - "Manufacturing long-duration energy storage at a commercial scale is seen as essential for lowering carbon emissions that are causing climate change, because it makes clean energy available when the sun isn’t shining, or the wind isn’t blowing." “I’m incredibly proud of how far our team has come in scaling our iron-air battery technology,” - Mateo Jaramillo, CEO.
