🌟 Exciting Developments in Energy Storage! 🌟 The Clean Energy Council of Australia reports a significant milestone in Q2 2024 with six large-scale energy storage projects reaching financial commitment, totaling 573MW/2,047MWh.  Additionally, the NEM experienced record negative prices last week, with curtailed solar and wind across various states and this emphasis the need for support. With a rolling 12-month investment average of nearly AU$1.6 billion, the future of renewable energy looks bright! 🌞🔋 #CleanEnergy #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Australia

Following the recent 2024 general #election, the UK government has revealed ambitious plans to significantly boost investment in renewable energy with its GB Energy Initiative. This initiative is part of the newly proposed Great British Energy (GB Energy), a publicly owned green power company set to revolutionise the UK’s energy landscape. Doubling down on solar power To accelerate the nation’s transition towards sustainable energy sources, GB Energy aims to scale up solar power installations across the country. This action aligns with the government’s wider strategy to enhance energy security, lower household bills, and create local job opportunities through renewable energy projects.

𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 (𝐞-𝐏𝐝𝐟) 𝐆𝐞𝐭 (𝐞-𝐏𝐝𝐟) 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲:https://lnkd.in/d-YpJzh3 The renewable energy storage is growing rapidly owing to the increasing government support for long-term energy storage systems that could support power grids while significantly accelerating the development of wind solar and hydrogen energy. Supportive policies such as renewable energy targets carbon reduction targets and financial incentives can encourage investment in energy storage projects. Energy storage systems enable greater penetration of renewable energy into the grid reducing dependence on fossil fuel-based power generation. The increasing number of investments to develop renewable energy storage systems accelerates the market growth. For instance in April 2023 the UK government subsidized USD 38.25 million for a range of innovative projects to develop new technologies for renewable energy storage and recovery. The combination of renewable energy generation and energy storage can provide reliable clean and sustainable solutions to meet energy needs while reducing carbon dioxide emissions. #renewablestorage #energytech #greenenergystorage #renewablepower #cleantech #sustainablestorage #futureenergy #storageinnovation #smartgrids #ecostorage

As Jamie Durie says, renewable energy is readily available across Australia, and the more of it we have to power our homes, the more affordable our electricity bills will be. When renewable energy is backed up by batteries and other types of storage, we can enjoy affordable electricity, 24/7, all year round. The answer to lowering everyone’s energy bills for good, is for governments and businesses to build massive amounts of new solar, wind, pumped hydro and renewable storage as fast as possible.

ACCIONA is proud to partner with Grupo Cobra and Endeavour Energy (NSW) as part of ACEREZ – the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone’s (REZ) preferred network operator. ACEREZ recently signed on to seek approval to deliver, operate and maintain the REZ transmission network for the next 35 years. This includes new high-capacity transmission lines, energy hubs and related infrastructure. The new transmission infrastructure will enable generators such as solar and wind farms and energy storage providers in the REZ to connect to the electricity grid at a scale never seen before. This will provide a reliable supply of clean, affordable electricity for households and businesses across New South Wales while helping to meet the state’s newly legislated net-zero targets. #InvestInThePlanet #renewableenergy #cleanenergy

Energy Queensland is connecting communities for a renewable energy future. Our General Manager of Renewables and Distributed Energy Glenn Springall provided some insights at the Queensland Energy Development Conference into what that looks like - for our network, our customers and the communities where they live and work. There needs to be a careful balance between encouraging behavioural change and system orchestration to ensure a safe, reliable and secure power grid. It ranges from the simplicity of hot water load control as a broad-based capability that continues to deliver local and system-wide benefits, to solar PV on homes and businesses and residential EVs, and large-scale batteries across the state, directly connected to the electricity grid. Where there are challenges, there are also great opportunities because we know there is no solution without distribution. We’re committed to maximising customer benefits from renewable energy while ensuring we manage the network effectively at a local level within each community – as needs differ across the state. #renewableenergy #QEJP #futureenergy

🌍 Transitioning to Renewable Energy: A Challenge Worth Embracing 🌱 In the power and utilities industry, the shift towards renewable energy isn't just a trend—it's a necessity. As we navigate this transition, companies are facing significant challenges, from integrating new technologies to managing costs and ensuring reliability. But these challenges also present unique opportunities for innovation and growth. One of the primary hurdles is the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar into the existing grid. These sources are intermittent by nature, requiring advanced storage solutions and smart grid technologies to ensure a stable supply. Companies are investing heavily in research and development to create more efficient batteries and grid management systems. For instance, the UK has seen a 20% increase in investment in energy storage solutions over the past year (source: UK Energy Research Centre)🌟 #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #PowerAndUtilities
