NARDAC’s Post

The likelihood of thermal runaway events has dramatically decreased in recent years. Nevertheless, the severity of such events remains high. Battery analytics software can identify future safety issue before they spiral out of control. The software warns about risks well in advance, giving time to proactively mitigate any potential incidents.

In a recent white paper, Lorenz Wieshammer, CFA discusses the impact of current energy policy and regulatory decisions on regulatory risk. Mr. Wieshammer focuses on the regulation of energy networks, where he addresses the valuation of the regulatory asset base and the regulatory cost of capital. He also explores examples from electricity market design, such as revenue skim-off for inframarginal producers and the potential split of bidding zones. Learn more:

This initiative marks the DOE’s most significant financial commitment to marine energy to date, aiming to accelerate the use of wave-generated power for various applications, including electricity grids, coastal communities, and offshore industries.

This ISGT session will address the 'easy questions'! 😉 Here's a glimpse of some insights I look forward to discussing from global and Australian perspectives: https://lnkd.in/g8BubMTa

In Europe, the aging power grids are facing capacity constraints, but new battery energy storage systems (BESS) could provide a solution. This is especially important as governments are grappling with the impact of energy-intensive projects like data centers in high-demand areas. The delays and refusals of planning permissions for new projects are causing concern among European countries, stalling development and progress. Investors should take note of the opportunities presented by BESS in this changing landscape. Learn more:

#RevampPlanningRules We are happy to see John Pettigrew, the CEO of National Grid, calling for an overhaul of UK planning rules to speed up the shift towards cleaner energy, as stated in a great article by Rachel Millard in Financial Times. The example of AQUIND demonstrates that the challenging task of adapting the British energy ecosystem to the demands of #NetZero will fail without a total revamp of the planning regulation and process. 👉 Quote: "Ofgem, the energy regulator, this week highlighted estimates that a quarter of applications for grid connections approved over the past 12 months were offered dates after 2030." We appreciate that planning is closely connected with other processes and stakeholder interests. Therefore, redesigning the planning regulation requires a holistic approach. 👉 Quote: "National Grid has set out five areas it believes need to be reformed to get projects off the ground more quickly, including planning, regulation and benefits for communities living nearby." We hope that the resulting system will offer more #predictability for the benefit of industry, investors and British consumers. The link to the full article is in the comments

A NEW ENERGY LANDSCAPE: GLOBAL POLICIES AND THE RACE TO NET ZERO The past few years have seen a surge in global energy policies, driven by concerns over ⚡ energy security and 🍃 climate change. Clean energy investments have soared by 60% since 2020 and 35 countries, responsible for a fifth of energy-sector CO2 emissions, have introduced new regulations. The 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 provided by the 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 shows us the main aspects of public policies on energy globally. This is a brief summary of the main policies (IMO) that are currently in place: ▪️ Energy Production 🛢 Fossil fuel subsidies persist but there is growing pressure to reduce emissions. The phasing out of coal is taking important steps and is perhaps the first front in developed economies. In any case, it will be crucial to observe the behavior of all these policies and their results once the 🦠 post-pandemic subsidies and stimulus plans for various energy sources (solar, wind, batteries) end. ▪️ Vehicles and Transport There seem to be some clear trends. China is prioritizing 🚗 private vehicles while Europe and the United States, despite being strongly committed to this, are also focusing on 🚆 public transport networks, which are much more developed in the Asian giant. As for vehicles, regulations to gradually eliminate internal combustion engines are gaining momentum with CO2 emission compensation systems as the main mechanism of action at the moment and the current war on 🔌 EV tariffs as the main worry for the near future. -Conclusion- The report is conclusive, governments are committed to reducing emissions through supply and demand-side incentives for clean energy. However, 💥 geopolitical and national security concerns often take precedence over environmental goals as evidenced by trade tariffs and governments tightening their grip on strategic industries like lithium or rare earth's ⛏️ mining. That's something we also have to take into account when investing in all these sectors. You can access to the full report here: https://lnkd.in/ddbsQ3kw Hope you enjoy❗️😉

🌍 Southeast Asia's Clean Energy Investment Gap ⚡ As the State of Energy Policy 2024 by the IEA reveals, ASEAN countries, including Singapore, have set ambitious clean energy goals, with many aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. However, our current collective investment levels are falling short of what's needed to meet these goals. 🏞️ Right now, Southeast Asia's clean energy investments make up only 2% of the global total, and the region needs to significantly scale up to hit its targets. From an annual average of USD 72 billion, we must increase clean energy investments to over USD 130 billion by the end of the decade to stay on track. This is a call for urgent collaboration across sectors to accelerate sustainable solutions for our energy future. 🌱🔋 Singapore can be a key leader in this transition, helping to close the investment gap and set the pace for a greener, more sustainable ASEAN. #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #ASEAN #CleanEnergy #Singapore #CarbonNeutral
