It's true... there is no (energy) transition without transmission. Our analysis in the National Transmission Planning Study found accelerating transmission deployment beyond historical rates can reduce power system CO2 emissions by billions of metric tons through 2050. In our modeled future grids, transmission expansion takes place across the country, while the most expansion takes place in the central wind belt getting clean energy where it needs to be.

Consumers have a right to expect transparency and honesty from the federal agencies. Alas, they aren’t getting it from the Department of Energy. #energy #power #electricity #electricgrid #greenenergy #solar #wind #climatechange #climate #CostOfLivingCrisis For more energy and power content, subscribe to my Substack: https://lnkd.in/gz_Au2RU

I'm looking forward to speaking about constraints on renewables and development of the power grid under different scenarios at our webinar this afternoon. Why not sign up (you still can), hear what we have to say and throw a question or two our way. I look forward to seeing you there.

If you've been asking yourself:  ❓What  is clean flexibility?  ❓Why do we need it for renewables growth?  ❓What's the status of battery storage and demand side flexibility in the EU?  ❓What policies do we need for unlocking clean flex? Then we have answers for you!  👉 https://lnkd.in/gh7jBBvM Clean flex is key to unlocking an efficient system backed by #wind and #solar, and phasing-out #fossil power, so it's time to take it seriously

Did You Know? A single wind turbine can reduce carbon emissions significantly over its lifetime. To put it in perspective, this is like taking hundreds of cars off the road each year. Wind power isn't just generating energy; it's paving the way for a cleaner planet. #CleanEnergyImpact #WindTradeAcademy

Our complimentary "The electricity grid: powering the energy transition" webinar is happening on 22nd May at 3:00 PM BST. Don't miss out on insightful discussions about our Power Transition Service, Sustainability and Emissions Service, and forecast for solar power capacity and generation to 2050. Our experts will also address the following key questions: 1. How will the power mix change to 2050? 2. How will a changing power mix affect material demand? 3. How will a changing power mix affect emissions and climate? Secure your spot today: https://bit.ly/4bdhdhw #emissions #sustainability #energytransition #solar

To maintain grid stability and avoid blackouts, demand and supply must align continuously.   Clean flexibility encompasses solutions that balance the grid when weather-dependent sources like wind and solar mismatch electricity demand.   This approach ensures excess clean energy is stored, relocated, or synced with consumption, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels used for grid balance.

Transport and energy have never been more intertwined. Very interesting research from the Energy Climate Intelligence Unit - EVs could offer more energy security than new north sea licenses. This is just due to a demand shift in fuel type. Bonus - an OFGEM 2022 study found that just 1.5m V2G EVs could solve the energy grid resilience and storage problem. Supporting the deployment of yet more renewables. https://lnkd.in/etcUxE3B

Grid capacity and connection is one of the big issues that needs addressed as part of the UK's energy ambitions as well described by Bilgin O. in Transport + Energy #netzero #gridconnections https://lnkd.in/eBgyBn5M
