New England states collaborate on ambitious plans to enhance grid reliability and clean energy access! A coalition of states has submitted applications for federal funding to support large-scale transmission and energy storage projects, aiming to unlock renewable energy potential and strengthen grid resilience across the region. These initiatives, in partnership with Elevate Renewables and AEIC member National Grid, align with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Innovation Program (GRIP) to fund projects leveraging advanced technologies for grid resilience. The applications prioritize community benefits, workforce development, and equity, aligning with DOE's goals to support disadvantaged communities in energy infrastructure development.

We have more work to do as we usher in the future of energy, but there are significant strides being made through grid modernization initiatives at the state level. Read more about how states are working to build the grid of the future in my latest blog published in collaboration with the GridWise Alliance.

Useful summary of the plans for plans. The Strategic Spatial Energy Plan is due to be commissioned from NESO shortly, and while Beyond 2030 is being taken as a transitionary network plan, “… the first full Centralised Strategic Network Plan will be delivered by the end of 2027, taking the Strategic Spatial Energy Plan as a key input, and will set out the transmission network plan for onshore and offshore electricity, as well as gas and hydrogen transmission up to 2050…”

#ICYMI: Earlier this year, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a preliminary list of potential National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETCs), areas where people have or are expected to have insufficient electricity transmission. If you are a landowner, you may have questions about potential impacts near you. To help answer those questions, the Grid Deployment Office (GDO) has resources available to explain the designation process and how it works. The four-phase process was created to ensure there is ample time for public engagement and environmental review before any final designation(s). Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eDrpAWnN

This year, we've seen unprecedented investment in building electrification and efficiency policy, including groundbreaking bills in California, Colorado, and Washington, and adoption of new regulatory approaches that will create and shape markets. Policy changes that empower advanced energy solutions to provide clean, affordable, and resilient buildings are being driven by state leaders across the country. Learn more on Tuesday, October 29, and join Advanced Energy United's webinar "Leveraging Today's Trends in Building Electrification and Efficiency," featuring United staff and expert panelists discussing these policy developments and how we as an industry can build on this momentum.  https://lnkd.in/ga_pk55N

October is National Clean Energy Action Month. With the passage and on-going implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the energy transition towards clean energy that benefits all Americans is going gangbusters! While it is advancing rapidly, there is so much to do. What is your organization doing to promote clean energy?

The UK government announced in September the designation of data centres as critical national infrastructure (CNI), putting them on equal footing with vital services such as water, energy and emergency systems. However, if the opportunity presented by this high growth sector are to be realised, there are a number of challenges that will need to be overcome. According to Diarmaid Connolly, Director of Cost Management at Linesight, strategic planning and investment are essential to tackle these issues. The UK can look to Nordic countries for inspiration, wwhere they emphasise renewable energy and efficient power management, to build a sustainable and scalable data centres of the future.
