🔈 On July 9th, our WECC team will be hosting a public webinar covering the PacifiCorp Integrated Resource Plan Update that was released on April 1st, 2024 as an update to its 2023 IRP. We'll be exploring PacifiCorp's response to the new policy environment and its effect on our Mid-Columbia price forecast.   Key topics we will cover in the session include: 👉 How the regulatory environment is changing in the western United States 👉 What these changes mean for the future of solar and storage development in the West 👉 How the role of thermal generation will evolve in the coming decades 👉 What impact recent events have had on the price outlook in the WECC Register here: https://lnkd.in/g_5bQ8Bd #WECC #PacifiCorp #AuroraNORAM #AuroraEnergyResearch Catharina Clark Tomas Nergaard George Prassas

🚀 Hydrogen and Energy Experts! 🚀 We are currently working on the IEA DHC project "Hydrogen2Heat," which explores the potential of using waste heat from electrolysis for district heating. As part of this project, we have developed a questionnaire to gather insights on the opportunities and challenges associated with this process. 🔍 Your Expertise Matters 🔍 We need your knowledge and experience to better understand the feasibility and practical considerations of utilising waste heat from electrolysis. Your input will be valuable in shaping our approach and findings. 👉 How You Can Contribute: Complete the questionnaire: Share your insights and help us gather a diverse range of perspectives. Share this post: Help us reach more experts in the field by spreading the word. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gX8DDkX3 Your participation will support our efforts to explore innovative energy solutions. Thank you for your time and expertise. #Hydrogen2Heat #WasteHeatRecovery #DistrictHeating #EnergyResearch #HydrogenTechnology #IEADHC TalTech Research Group of Smart District Heating Systems SINTEF AIT Austrian Institute of Technology Energieinstitut an der JKU Linz

Between rapid load growth, a changing generation mix, and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, the power system is poised for stress in the coming decades. Multiple recent studies highlight the benefits of interregional transmission to address these challenges, but few interregional projects have been built. E3, in collaboration with NARUC, examined the barriers that prevent interregional transmission from getting built and explored solutions in planning, permitting, and operations to unlock interregional transmission. These changes could be implemented by states, planning regions, or the federal government, and will be key for efficiently integrating renewables and balancing supply across regions.

The intersection of Energy & Policy - this is what you will experience at the new IEEE PES Energy & Policy Forum. I invite you to learn more and pass the word on to others in this space. 💡🏛

Planning, permitting, and operating interregional transmission to maximize system benefits is challenging. But in the face of massive transformation of the power sector over the coming decades, it is important to take steps to enable the identification of beneficial interregional transmission. In a new study sponsored by NARUC titled "Collaborative Approaches to Unlock Interregional Transmission" we had a chance to explore the barriers and solutions to interregional transmission planning, permitting and operations. The solutions we examine could be implemented by states, planning regions, and the federal government and are focused on increased collaboration among and across these entities.

Recently, LDCs from EDA’s Upper Canada and Georgian Bay Districts met with Associate Minister of Energy Sam Oosterhoff for a constructive industry roundtable discussion. Members shared their real-world insights on how regulatory improvements can help them power Ontario’s economic growth and better serve our customers.   EDA thanks Associate Minister Oosterhoff for travelling to meet our members and being attentive to the concerns of LDCs. #Energy #Electricity #PowerofLocalHydro

“Reduced Load Shedding Shows That Collective Efforts Are Working” -H.E Ramaphosa His Excellency President Ramaphosa penned a letter to the nation on 16 May which focused on the stabilisation in the availability of electricity and reduction in load shedding across the country. “As of today, the country will have had no load shedding for over a month and a half. This welcome development shows that the Energy Action Plan we announced in 2022 is working. It is too early to say that load shedding has been brought to an end. However, the sustained improvement in the performance of Eskom’s power stations – as well as the new generation capacity we have added to our energy system –gives us hope that the end of load shedding is in sight,” Read the full article from the latest edition here: https://hubs.la/Q02y6tM40 #Electricity #Energy #Government #PublicSectorLeaders #Publication #TopcoMedia

Decarbonising peak heat loads: the #REPEAK project! 🔥🌱 As September cools down 🍂, it's time to heat up the conversation about #decarbonising #districtheating and #cooling networks. While #renewables are on the rise, many #DHC systems still rely on fossil fuels for peak heat loads 🌡️ - those critical hours when performance matters most. We recently interviewed Simon MOSER about the RE-PEAK project, which is focused on overcoming this challenge. RE-PEAK aims to:                                                                                                                             🌍 Highlight the difficulties in decarbonising peak heat loads 🔍 Provide insights into #climateneutral alternatives 🛠️ Develop a decision support tool for DHC networks operators Want to learn more?

A new bill aimed at increasing the transmission capacity between regions could more than double the US capacity for transmission transfer, according to an analysis. The BIG WIRES Act would require minimum interregional electricity transfer capacities and address several issues in the current transmission planning process: -Lack of a planning format for regions to engage together -Uncertainty of cost allocations -Questions of who is responsible for building infrastructure Whether this bill is passed or just lays the groundwork for future action, we're glad to see solutions around transmission in the works. #Transmission #FERC #EnergyPolicy #KinectSolar
