🔌⚡ Grid Upgrades: What Lies Ahead? ⚡🔌 In my previous post, I delved into the reasons driving the imperative need for massive investments in our electricity grid infrastructure (No #transition without #transmission!). Today, let's explore what the future holds in my opinion. In a nutshell: 1️⃣ Challenges on the Road to Grid Upgrades Large-scale infrastructure projects demand time for planning, permitting processes, and finally, the actual construction. The specter of local opposition (#nimby) often looms, and it's nearly inevitable. This resistance could, in turn, lead to unforeseen cost escalations and timeline overruns. 2️⃣ The Accelerated Adoption of "Transition Technologies" "Transition technologies" such as #solar, #heatpumps, and #electricvehicles are poised for rapid adoption. But will our grid be ready to keep pace with this accelerating transition? I anticipate an uptick in grid congestion as these technologies outpace infrastructure upgrades, prompting calls for the division of bidding zones to alleviate the pressure. 3️⃣ The Financial Equation: Grid Fees and Government Intervention The question of funding looms large. Upgrading our grid comes at a cost, and it's likely that grid fees will see an increase. Or would we see direct governmental involvement to ensure a smoother transition? The journey ahead for our electricity grid is undoubtedly complex, but it's a journey we must embark upon for a sustainable energy future. What are your thoughts on these evolving dynamics? Let's keep the conversation going. 💡🌍 #EnergyFuture #Infrastructure #GridUpgrades Check out the post here. https://lnkd.in/eQHFd6sM

DOE Thanks. Solar panels are a remedy, not a solution to the energy problem. Data solar panels are only 35% efficient and only last 10 or 15 years with updated versions cannot solve today's problems with old and inefficient remedy technology. "The next challenging bubble will be between 2027 and 2030. We think we're going to have million tonnes of [Toxic Trash] and by 2040 could end up with more than 200 million tonnes globally, and also not including accessories batteries system that have a maximum useful life of 5-8 years etc.... and in conclusion without a doubt is a good cost-effective business for recycle industries.

Executive Leader: Policy, Politics & Climate Action | Vice-President of Policy & Strategy at Clean Energy Canada
A belated thanks to Decarb Connect for the chance to talk about the impact of industrial decarbonization on the #grid. Great to have a constructive back and forth with Laura Devoni, Matt McCulloch and Francis Bradley to consider the challenges and opportunities for #electrification of heavy industry. It is clear from the industry perspective that leaders are currently required to navigate complex systems with multiple players not designed for the challenges of the energy transition. Minister Todd Smith set the stage with a sense of all that Ontario is already doing to meet this challenge, but it's clear that industry, government, utilities and regulators are going to need to come to the table for an ongoing dialogue to continue to meet it head on. Clean Energy Canada looks forward to participate in ongoing discussions on how comprehensive energy planning can help make electrification a reliable, affordable and simple decarbonization pathway.

Exciting news in the energy sector! The federal government has just announced ten strategic areas nationwide, including New York, New England, and the mid-Atlantic regions, where they plan to leverage unprecedented federal authority to fund and construct major transmission projects rapidly. This bold initiative aims to interconnect regional grids, ushering in a new energy resilience and sustainability era. By fortifying our transmission infrastructure, we can unlock the full potential of renewable energy sources and pave the way for a greener, more efficient future. https://ow.ly/IbQi50RAixc #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #TransmissionInfrastructure #SustainableFuture
