Amazing news! 🎉 Our £8m MultiResilience project with Northern Powergrid, Smarter Grid Solutions, and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks has received funding through the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF), an Ofgem programme managed in partnership. The SIF programme is managed in partnership with Innovate UK, to develop cost-effective, coordinated solutions that will protect our customers' power supplies during extreme weather events. ⚡ Why is this project important? Resilience is increasingly important as customers rely more on electricity for heat and transportation, with greatest value in rural locations that have a heightened risk of outage. Proliferation of Low Carbon Technologies across LV and HV systems present opportunities, if coordinated appropriately, for delivery of resilience services that maintain customer supply during unplanned grid outages. Previous projects have demonstrated separate approaches via LV-connected and HV-connected resilient DERs. Coordination of such solutions can enhance the value case of resilience. The project will compare and contrast technologies and optimise hybrid applications of the two approaches to deliver cost-effective resilience to customers.   Sarah Sheehy and the team at TNEI will work with Northern Powergrid to analyse network impacts, lead the development of specifications of MultiResilience, and undertake virtual trial simulations to understand and confirm the implications for the broader network.

Fantastic to attend the Energy Capital Partnership conference yesterday. As both a resident in the West Midlands and as someone passionate about seeing the market progress on transitioning our homes, buildings and cities, it was great to hear the fantastic work already started and the future ambitions for the area. Some of the key points discussed yesterday that resonated with me include: 🌍 Creating Smarter, More Inclusive Energy Systems: Local and regional energy decisions are becoming increasingly important, with a greater need for smart spatial planning and localised, flexible energy solutions to drive regional growth and sustainability. 🔄 Collaborate Across Stakeholders: this needs to including information sharing and thinking about the energy system needs earlier to make every step count. 🏙️ Smart Spatial Planning: Maximise brownfield spaces by co-locating energy generation with demand, linking energy supply with local needs, creating more efficient, sustainable systems. ⚙️ Skilled Workforce & Local Supply Chains: Invest in local talent, promoting green jobs and building a strong local supply chain to support new installations. 💡 Outcome-Based Decision Making: Focus on whole-system thinking integrated into wider economic planning. 📊 Data-Driven Future: Harness digital platforms and open data sharing to empower local authorities. 💥 The opportunity is here to attract investment, build on existing assets, and drive long-term secure funding for the energy transition. Local authorities can lead the way with smart, informed, and flexible approaches. #EnergyTransition #SmartPlanning #Sustainability #LocalGrowth #Devolution #GreenJobs #EnergyInnovation #NetZero

This month, the U.S. Department of Energy launched details on a strategy that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. buildings 65% by 2035 and 90% by 2050 vs. 2005 baselines. This is the first US federal blueprint explicitly aimed at decarbonizing America's building sector.   The report underlines the importance of reaching net-zero and puts forward four main objectives: Increasing building energy efficiency, Accelerating onsite emissions reductions, Transforming the interactions between buildings and the electricity grid, and minimizing the emissions from producing, transporting, installing, and disposing of building materials. The mobilization needed to reach these objectives by public and private institutions will be extensive, but there are a range of benefits and support such as cost savings for individuals and businesses, investment in clean energy jobs and R&D, and funding and financing incentives.   The net zero revolution of buildings is just getting started. This blueprint is just the latest in a growing line of building-focused decarbonization policies at the city and state level, such as NYC’s LL97 and California’s SB253.   Akila can help minimize the growing pains and deliver a comprehensive solution for building operators, tenants, and owners by streamlining data collection processes, establishing benchmarks, and providing advanced analytics to measure performance.   Try Akila today: www.akila3d.com/request/ Read more from the DOE: https://lnkd.in/gdH-vENa   #Decarbonization #Netzero #Digitaltwin #Sustainablefuture #Digitalization #Energyoptimization
