The United States has become a pivotal hub for the battery industry, and for companies like ours at ZNL Energy AS it can be a essential place to be. The recent announcement by the Biden-Harris Administration, pledging a staggering $3.5 billion for the largest-ever investment in America's electric grid, is a game-changer. This monumental investment not only accelerates the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future but also underscores the importance of the U.S. in fostering innovation within the battery sector. Here's why the U.S. is central to our industry: Massive Infrastructure Investment: The $3.5 billion commitment demonstrates the nation's dedication to upgrading its electric grid. A robust grid is crucial for efficient energy storage and distribution, making it easier for companies like ZNL to thrive and contribute to cleaner energy solutions. Clean Energy Advancements: The investment also supports the deployment of more clean energy sources. As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise, batteries play a pivotal role in storing excess energy for use when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing. This helps stabilize the grid and ensures a reliable power supply. Cost Reduction: The Biden-Harris Administration's focus on lowering costs aligns perfectly with our goals in the battery industry. Increased investment can lead to economies of scale, reducing the cost of battery production. This, in turn, makes clean energy more affordable for consumers and businesses alike. Job Creation: The commitment to creating union jobs is vital not just for the workforce but for the growth of the battery industry as well. A skilled and well-supported workforce is essential for developing cutting-edge battery technologies. In conclusion, the U.S. has firmly established itself as a beacon for the battery industry, and the recent announcement by the Biden-Harris Administration reaffirms this status. As a company in this field, ZNL is excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in helping to power a cleaner, more sustainable, and economically vibrant future for America and the world. 🌍🔋 #CleanEnergy #BatteryInnovation #BidenHarrisAdmin

The energy transition requires a resilient and reliable grid. Earlier this week, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and House Infrastructure Implementation Coordinator Mitch Landrieu announced a $3.46B investment into this area. The investment, which covers 58 projects in 44 states, is designed to strengthen the grid and will bring 35+ gigawatts of energy online. https://bit.ly/3s98agx #energy #energytransition

Last week, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a substantial investment of over $100 million to fund #netzero focused energy conservation and clean energy projects across 31 federal facilities. Among the first projects, installing rooftop solar panels, a heat-recovery heat pump system, and solar thermal panels at the Pentagon. This move aligns with the federal government's target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, and represents the first of three disbursements under the Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) program. Expected to generate over $29 million in energy and water cost savings in their first year alone, these 31 projects not only advance environmental objectives but also contribute to creating thousands of high-quality jobs, reducing taxpayer expenditures, and fostering healthier communities.

What the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced is what every real estate investor can do. Invest $104m to create $580m of value...this is what smart investors do. And on top of that they are decarbonizing their portfolio. This isn't rocket science (that's a different department!) It's smart asset management. Don't let anyone fool you. You CAN decarbonize profitably. Our Enable (GSA) and MATOC III (US Army Corps of Engineers) contracts do exactly this. This is what #leadership looks like.

Biden-Harris Administration Invests $1.5 Billion To Strengthen U.S. Power Grid And Boost Clean Energy Access The Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has announced significant steps to enhance the country’s electricity grid and ensure affordable energy for Americans. In a key move, the DOE is investing $1.5 billion in four major transmission projects, aimed at improving grid reliability, reducing transmission congestion, and giving more people access to affordable clean energy. These projects, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will add nearly 1,000 miles of new transmission lines and create 7,100 MW of capacity across six U.S. states. The states benefiting from this investment are Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Top adviser urges government speed on energy overhaul The National Infrastructure Commission’s Chair has urged the government to expedite measures facilitating private investment in decarbonising the electricity sector Department for Energy Security and Net Zero #decarbonisation #electricity #energytransition #netzero #energysector

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has granted approval for a $1.9 billion investment plan extending until 2027. The funds are allocated to projects focused on enhancing infrastructure for zero emissions vehicles (ZEV) and transportation. The initiative encompasses the development of an expansive electric vehicle (EV) charging network and hydrogen refueling infrastructure. The intended outcome is the deployment of light, medium, and heavy-duty ZEVs infrastructure throughout California, establishing the most comprehensive charging and hydrogen refueling network in the US. The financial commitment is part of the broader $48 billion California Climate Commitment, earmarking over $10 billion specifically for ZEVs and associated infrastructure.
