Powering Indiana: Lake County’s Post

The development of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, is an important step towards meeting green policy targets. However, the energy highway is currently lagging behind. Increasing grid capacity takes time and is crucial in order to accommodate the increased supply from these sources. This delay can ultimately hinder the progress towards achieving the green policy targets set by the different nations. A better way to accelerate the development of the energy infrastructure is highly needed. #renewableenergy #greenpolicy #energyhighway #transmission

Transitioning to a sustainable energy future requires innovative solutions like Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES). By storing electricity for 8+ hours, #LDES provides essential flexibility for integrating renewables into the grid, addressing supply-demand imbalances, and driving decarbonization. With the potential to deploy terawatts globally by 2040, LDES offers a significant opportunity to reduce emissions and optimize energy systems. Don't miss out on Sarah Griffiths panel session at the NY-BEST Capture the Energy Conference in Albany, NY, May 16 – 18, where they'll discuss achieving a zero-emission grid and LDES applications.

Due to the UK’s inadequate network capacity, renewable energy is being wasted, adding to energy bills and increasing carbon emissions. In our paper, Using Energy Storage to Tackle Renewable Energy Waste, alongside Eku Energy, Field and Kona Energy UK we propose policy solutions that can cut constraint costs in response to National Grid ESO’s Constraint Collaboration Project.

ICYMI! Some weekend reading to keep your brain in gear and stretch those neurons. I’m so pleased to finally be able to share this new report with the world. It has been a labor of love. #MacroMeetsMicro2024 #MacroMeetsMicro #CleanEnergy #SystemsThinking #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #climatepolicy

🌞 Exciting news! A recent article by The Guardian highlights a crucial issue: solar and wind energy may fall short of the 2030 clean energy target without an injection of £48bn in funding. It's imperative that we take action to ensure the success of renewable energy. Let's join forces to advocate for this crucial investment in sustainable energy sources. Together, we can help pave the way for a cleaner, greener future. #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergyFuture #SustainabilityAwareness https://ift.tt/AUYZepw

Groundwire is proud to present its inaugural trends report, “Macro Meets Micro: Deciphering Renewable Energy Trends in 2024.” What do the Federal Reserve, the Panama Canal and election interference have to do with renewable energy development? More than you realize. This report uses a systems-thinking approach to make sense of the complex and seemingly unrelated connections that form today’s energy landscape. Understanding the ‘why’ behind these connections can empower clean energy leaders to drive a more successful clean energy transition.

🌞🌬️ Check out this interesting article from The Guardian about the future of solar and wind energy! It highlights the need for £48bn funding to hit the 2030 clean energy target. Let's work together to support renewable energy and create a sustainable future. #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergyFuture #SustainableDevelopment https://ift.tt/AUYZepw

Prescient paper from four key storage developers, focussing on the need for urgent action to reduce costs to the consumer and the availability of solutions now and the readiness of the industry to deploy. It’s very important that old central thinking is not applied to new solutions and techniques, and their deployment.

"UK May Need New Gas-Fired Power Stations to Decarbonise Grid" I just read an interesting article in the Guardian that said the UK might require new gas-fired power stations to support the transition to a decarbonised grid. I'm sure this won't come as a surprise to many of you, the move is seen as essential to maintain energy reliability while increasing renewable energy sources.

Integrating variable renewable energy (VRE) into the grid has highlighted some well-known challenges. Blunt price signals, subsidies and high feed-in tariff rates, have led to #VRE overbuilding in locations distant from load centers, posing issues for grid stability. At #InternationalEnergyWeek, today's panel discussion will revolve around the need for deploying and generating electricity at the right #time and #place. Key themes: 💡 Forecasting electrical demand and how to unlock flexibility in response 💡 Capacity markets – what can we expect at the next auction, and how can we improve? 💡 How can #smartgrids handle the increased demand for #distributed energy? Stay tuned! #Energytransition #EnergyFuture #RenewableEnergy
