The US Department of Energy is funding a pilot project to demonstrate the commercial viability of storing energy in heated sand, which is capable of producing 135 MW of power for five days. #TechnologyandRD #UtilityScaleStorage #heatedsandenergystorage

Texas led clean energy installations with 9.2 GW installed in 2022, followed by California (4.7 GW), Oklahoma (1.5 GW), Florida (1.2 GW), and Nevada (0.9 GW). Texas is the state with the most clean energy in development, about 18% of the total development pipeline, followed by California (9%), New York (8%), Indiana (5%), and Virginia (5%).

The duck curve has migrated to Texas. Power demand soared from 66 GW in 2018 to as high as 85.5 GW in 2023. Meanwhile, renewable generation supersized as a proportion of all power, from 10% in 2013 to 36% in 2023.   WattBridge answers renewable intermittency and the Texas duck curve with a deep investment in ERCOT dispatchable generation, which totals 2.4 GW operating or under construction this year. In fact, WattBridge—now the world’s largest LM6000 fleet owner—has delivered at least 30% of the total output for all simple-cycle aeros in the State. We look forward to taming the duck curve further through the Texas Energy Fund. #ERCOT #energysecurity #dispatchablepower #duckcurve

Octopus Energy CEO, Greg Jackson, argues that Octopus can build sections of the high-voltage transmission network – the backbone of the electricity system – more quickly and efficiently than the National Grid, helping to speed up the rollout of clean energy. https://lnkd.in/eRcZUCCC #energy #utilities #energytransmission #energyinfrastructure

For the power industry, ESG is a balance of 3 pillers; (1) economic development to meet growing power needs, (2) Access to reliable and affordable power, and (3) Environmental stewardship. While the balance may occasionally shift in favor of one over the others in a given period, it is this balance that will ultimately drive sustainability in the power industry in the long run. For us at PROENERGY and WattBridge, all 3 pillars are in play. We are growing our generation capacity to meet a growing demand, we are enhancing energy security for the people of Texas, and we are doing so with conscious environmental choices.

More news about Entergy's approval to add 3 GW of solar power in #Louisiana. The LSU Institute for Energy Innovation is doing research on how to ensure that solar farms can survive hurricane-strength winds and how solar power can help community resilience in times of disaster. #LouisianaEnergy #LouisianaJobs #EnergyInnovation #Energy

'Atlantic Green has announced the mechanical completion of its first project, the Buxton battery energy storage system in England.' The Buxton BESS Project boasts an approximate 60 MWh capacity, ensuring sustained power output for up to two hours during peak energy demand periods. It remains firmly on track for energisation in Q1 2024. Buxton BESS is the first of a series of projects encompassing over 1GWh currently in Atlantic Green’s  development pipeline. Two significant projects in their development pipeline are Cellarhead BESS with an approximate capacity of 600MWh and Project T with an approximate capacity of 270 MWh. #development #battery #energynews #energystorage #batterytechnology #climateaction #greenenergy #greenfuture #batterystorage #greenenergy
