A new study from The Brattle Group shows that #virtualpowerplants could save Californians $550M per year by 2035. VPPs also have the potential to significantly ease current #energy challenges, improve #gridreliability and advance the state’s efforts to create a #sustainable and reliable energy system.

💡 Our latest blog from Helen Stack (Regulatory Manager at Centrica) explores how grid delays are hindering decarbonisation, examining 3 major challenges: ⚠️ Large queue: Over 700GW of energy generation projects waiting to connect to the grid ⚠️ Lengthy build times: transmission infrastructure takes 12-14 years to build ⚠️ Local low-carbon connection issues Discover how these barriers are being tackled to accelerate our sustainable future 🌍 #EnergisingAGreenerFuture #ThisIsPositiveEnergy https://lnkd.in/eEGYdx7M

NERC adopts 2 new standards to boost extreme weather reliability The board also adopted three standards modifications to bolster critical infrastructure protection and energy assurance. #NaturalGas #Futures #EnergyTrading #energymanagement #energy #windenergy https://lnkd.in/etiCSmiD

The grid of the future is digital, decentralised, and renewable-powered. 🔌 Discussions around grid modernisation and renewable integration are heating up. How are you future-proofing your energy infrastructure? #GridModernisation #RenewableGrid"

With the FERC finally passing the transmission reform, Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) and and Grid Strategies take a hard look at the health of the nation's transmission structure.....and it's not great. We still have a long way to go, and much to navigate before the grid can support the level needed to move forward in the energy transition, starting with being able to connect new renewable power generation to the grid. The big challenge is the make-up of how the grid is controlled, and how each of the grid operators go about meeting FERC’s new rules, depending on their individual makeup (states), governance structures, and preexisting regional planning expertise. Just how these different grid regions will gain consensus among the utilities, state regulators, and other decision-makers will depend on a lot of different factors, however — including the clean energy policies of these stakeholders. There is a long way to go. Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4ay6Xzw #energytransition #cleanenergy #keepmovingforward

Last month, Ofgem closed its Regional Energy Strategic Plan policy framework consultation, and while there are positive developments, further reforms to #energy #governance are still needed. Dr Richard Lowes and Dr Jessica Britton explain why and how it should be done: https://lnkd.in/ebFgvP3s
