Exciting news from the US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED)! This week, they announced a bold initiative to accelerate the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies, crucial for enhancing clean and reliable energy capacity. With up to $100 million earmarked for pilot-scale demonstration projects, the focus is on advancing non-lithium technologies capable of 10+ hour discharge durations for stationary storage applications. The funding, anticipated to open for solicitation in late summer / early fall, aims to fund 3-15 projects with grants ranging from $5 million to $20 million each. A strong emphasis is placed on collaboration across sectors, including technology providers, utilities, developers, and financiers, to pave the way for widespread adoption. This initiative, supported by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, underscores a commitment to diversifying and strengthening the energy storage landscape, driving us closer to a sustainable energy future. US DOE allocates $100 million for non-lithium, long-duration energy storage pilots: https://lnkd.in/d27MeWHc #EnergyStorage #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability

Department of Energy to provide $325 Million for long-duration energy storage projects The DOE funding for 15 Projects aims to advance energy storage technologies, enhance clean energy adoption, and reduce impacts on the grid from extreme weather events fueled by climate change. The Department of Energy (DOE) will be providing up to $325 million for 15 projects across 17 states and one tribal nation to accelerate the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies according to a department press release. These demonstration projects, which are funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, are intended to increase community control of local power systems, mitigate risks associated with disruptions to the grid, and help communities develop reliable and affordable energy systems. An Energy Earthshot. The noted projects are part of the DOE’s Energy Earthshots Initiative, which aims to reduce the cost of LDES by 90 percent by 2030 and accelerate breakthroughs of more abundant, affordable, and reliable clean energy solutions within the decade. The DOE also states that these undertakings will advance critical clean energy technologies, expand the adoption of renewable energy resources, and strengthen America’s energy security.

🔌⚡ Grid Upgrades: What Lies Ahead? ⚡🔌 In my previous post, I delved into the reasons driving the imperative need for massive investments in our electricity grid infrastructure (No #transition without #transmission!). Today, let's explore what the future holds in my opinion. In a nutshell: 1️⃣ Challenges on the Road to Grid Upgrades Large-scale infrastructure projects demand time for planning, permitting processes, and finally, the actual construction. The specter of local opposition (#nimby) often looms, and it's nearly inevitable. This resistance could, in turn, lead to unforeseen cost escalations and timeline overruns. 2️⃣ The Accelerated Adoption of "Transition Technologies" "Transition technologies" such as #solar, #heatpumps, and #electricvehicles are poised for rapid adoption. But will our grid be ready to keep pace with this accelerating transition? I anticipate an uptick in grid congestion as these technologies outpace infrastructure upgrades, prompting calls for the division of bidding zones to alleviate the pressure. 3️⃣ The Financial Equation: Grid Fees and Government Intervention The question of funding looms large. Upgrading our grid comes at a cost, and it's likely that grid fees will see an increase. Or would we see direct governmental involvement to ensure a smoother transition? The journey ahead for our electricity grid is undoubtedly complex, but it's a journey we must embark upon for a sustainable energy future. What are your thoughts on these evolving dynamics? Let's keep the conversation going. 💡🌍 #EnergyFuture #Infrastructure #GridUpgrades Check out the post here. https://lnkd.in/eQHFd6sM

The Good: The DOE has released proposed rules aimed at fast-tracking the development of high-voltage electric transmission facilities, something everyone I talk to thinks is a critically important goal! The Bad: While the proposed rules promise efficiency, my partners--some of the smartest, most deeply knowledgeable folks in energy infrastructure development and regulation--are concerned the actual effect of the rules as drafted may be to extend review timelines, increase litigation risks, and, notably, still neglect key state-level challenges to siting transmission infrastructure. The Ugly: The proposed rule is expected to bring a deluge of comments due to the critical intersection of environmental policy and infrastructure development that it seeks to address. Comments are due on October 2, 2023. Read more from my colleagues Bill Scherman, John Decker, Jeffrey Jakubiak, Jason Fleischer, Jennifer Marsh, Corinne Snow and Brandon Tuck in their analysis at the link below.
In a concerted effort to meet the Biden administration’s aggressive carbon-reduction goals, the #DOE unveiled a pre-publication copy of a forthcoming proposed rule on August 10, 2023, aimed at fast-tracking the development of high-voltage electric transmission facilities.

According to T&D Word, the funding, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is intended to help electric utilities and grid operators install upgrades with potential to fight climate change and extreme weather, while helping deliver reliable and often renewable energy. The Grid Deployment Office, established in August 2022 to maintain and invest in critical transmission, distribution and generation of power, is allocating $10.5 billion toward the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) projects. There are three different grants that each project falls under; the Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants, Smart Grid Grants, and Innovation Grants. Keep reading to learn how these grants work and how they can help us get a GRIP on grid upgrades! https://bit.ly/3vrjHsM #SouthernStates #SouthernStatesLLC #TDWorld #gridupgrades #grants #gridreliability #electricgrid #utilityindustry #power #powersolutions #inthenews #lastestnews #hamptonga

Good article
In its latest five-yearly National Infrastructure Assessment, released this week, the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) shares its vision to create a national hydrogen network. While we welcome this decision at National Gas as we have been preparing to develop our national pipelines for hydrogen through Project Union, our CEO has voiced his concerns about the report’s further proposal to decommission the country’s local gas distribution network. In an interview with City AM, our CEO, Jon Butterworth, discussed the potential consequences of leaning towards full-scale electrification of the local pipelines. By suggesting that we should disconnect local businesses, public services and homes from local gas networks, the NIC’s proposed version of the energy transition poses fundamental questions about our energy security and the future of some key British industries. The feasibility of a full-scale electrification transition to net zero, especially for the millions relying on gas daily, must be considered closely. As Jon laid out, we need a balanced approach to the UK's energy landscape. He warned against the exclusion of hydrogen boilers in favour of electrification and heat pumps as this could compromise the energy sector’s ability to meet the growing demand for heating people's homes. That’s why we need a comprehensive energy transition strategy. While it's clear that there are no easy answers, striking a balance between electrification and gas is vital for the UK's economic and environmental well-being. At National Gas, we’re committed to being part of the solution, leading a clean energy future for everyone. You can read Jon’s interview here: http://bit.ly/3PZJ77C #EnergyTransition
