Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council)’s Post

With research suggesting that new energy storage capacity could lead to savings of up to £24 billion for the UK’s energy system, the Government has announced a new consultation aimed at promoting investment into long duration energy storage (LDES). LDES technologies are likely to play a crucial role in the UK’s transition to net zero, providing the grid with flexibility to support the integration of more renewable energy into the power mix.

Energy storage is helping Texas' energy grid become more affordable, reliable, and independent. 🔋 In recent years, extreme weather, unstable gas prices, more variable renewable energy, and higher loads have contributed to increased energy price volatility in Texas. ➡️Read more from our experts David Millar and Duytam Vu in Latitude Media to learn how energy storage is being deployed to help stabilize the grid and provide affordable energy to the people and businesses of Texas: https://lnkd.in/enap64fA #EnergyStorage #Decarbonisation

The government and business expect a huge amount of new, utility scale private sector renewable energy capacity to come online in the next three years as corporate plans come to fruition, helping to keep SA’s lights on. https://lnkd.in/dvT4dddg

Making the grid renewable ready is a key goal for our organisation and the Future Power Markets team continues to engage with industry stakeholders through workshops and consultation papers to put the market arrangements in place to achieve up to 80% renewable energy share in electricity.

At our current trajectory, this ‘electricity gap’ could cause 28 hours of blackouts in the year 2035. 🚨 The future of energy supply in the United Kingdom has reached a critical juncture — the difference between the country’s energy demand and the supply available is widening. 📊 The only viable solution to closing the electricity gap is a significant commitment to renewable #energy. ♻️ #Solar power, as the cheapest renewable, offers a path forward if we can get beyond the bureaucratic hurdles and market inertia that stand in our way. ☀️ We’ve written more about the process of achieving consent for renewable energy projects, how to incentivise renewables, and the cost of delay via our blog 👇 https://lnkd.in/gHBG3q79

Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy. The Biden administration’s decarbonization goals (i.e., carbon-pollution-free electricity by 2035 and net-zero economy by 2050) will require at least a threefold increase in the U.S. wind energy deployment rate. https://lnkd.in/enZU_E3K #newbook #windenergy #energy #environment

Have you ever wondered how electricity rates continue to rise when natural gas prices are at the lowest, they have been all year, and the cheapest renewable energy makes up nearly 50% of our resource mix on the Texas grid?

If we subsidise wind and solar, we can incentivise positive changes in the weather. Tax breaks can encourage the sun to shine stronger and the wind to blow harder. It's basic politics. Or we could just arrest the sun and the wind for resisting government protocols.

🌍💡 The U.S. has witnessed an incredible surge in renewable energy sources in the last few decades, with hydro, solar, and wind power now accounting for approximately 20% of the nation's electricity generation (surpassing coal). 🌞💨 🌊 #renewableenergy #cleanenergy #sustainablefuture
