Recent studies reveal that approximately 73% of the U.S. population with available data experiences power outages, with an estimated 520 million customer-hours lost annually due to these disruptions. With power outages costing businesses billions annually, transitioning to sustainable energy sources like #solar and #wind can provide a more reliable, resilient energy future. #Energy #SustainableFuture

Distributed Wind Across the U.S. 🌍 Over the past two decades, distributed wind energy has grown with 92,000 turbines deployed across all 50 states. Together, they’ve contributed 1,110 MW of cumulative capacity to local energy grids. In 2023 alone, distributed wind added: ✅ 10.5 MW of new capacity ✅ 1,999 turbine units ✅ Across 16 states ✅ Representing $37 million in investment National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study revealed that technology innovations entering commercial markets today could unlock 80% more economically viable #windenergy capacity across US. With the Inflation Reduction Act boosting funding and state-level incentives on the rise, the future of #distributed wind is gaining momentum. What are your thoughts on the growth of distributed #wind? 🌱 #RenewableEnergyMarket #WindEnergy #US #Energy Image: Distributed Wind Market Report 2024

At the recent Thai-Australia Energy Policy Dialogue, Thailand and Australia showcased the power of international cooperation in accelerating the clean energy transition. Both nations are tackling similar energy challenges, from grid stability to renewable integration, with Thailand targeting net-zero by 2065 and Australia implementing extensive reforms to transition to a renewables-based system. With these topics under the spotlight globally at #COP29, P4I was pleased to sit alongside colleagues from the Australian Embassy in Thailand, Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), The Australian National University, CSIRO, Hydro Tasmania and Powerledger to share our insights on renewables, grid modernisation, climate resilience, pumped hydro energy storage, batteries, energy trading and green hydrogen. On the Thai side, the Ministry of Energy Thailand (MOEN), Electricity Generation Authority Thailand and the Energy Policy and Planning Office shared the challenges and innovations that are underway to achieve key transition goals. Many thanks to MOEN and the Australian Embassy for hosting this dialogue. By sharing expertise these two countries are paving the way for resilient, sustainable energy networks that support regional and global climate goals.

⚡Energy systems have long been centralised, but the shift toward #renewables and #sustainable solutions is transforming the landscape. However, this shift brings new challenges. 🔌 #GridCongestion as decentralized energy sources expand 🌱 #Greenwashing, whether intentional or a result of outdated accounting practices. How can #blockchain step in? Listen to the full episode of Blockster Podcast, where our Co-founder & Chairman Dr Jemma Green joined the conversation with Ivan Zhelev to discuss some of the most pressing topics in energy and net zero. Dr. Green also highlights why #EnergyConversations need a dose of realism as the path to #netzero is far from straightforward. While ambitious goals are essential, we must also recognise that balancing growth with #sustainability is complex. Curious to know what that means and why we need #BlockchainInEnergy?

🌍 Are Manual Processes Holding Renewable Energy Certification Back? The #renewableenergycertificate (REC) market is on track to surpass $26.5 billion by 2030, with voluntary RECs playing a critical role in corporate sustainability strategies. But as demand grows, traditional manual processes for certification, verification, and reporting face a pressing question: Can they scale efficiently without increasing costs or risks? Find out technology's role in shaping the REC market in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/g4kTB_Gm If you want to see how TraceX streamlines manual REC trading processes for improved efficiency, book a demo today. https://lnkd.in/gKSD_S3t #RECTrading #RenewableEnergyCredits #VoluntaryRECs #TraceX

Australian technology companies are exporting innovative solutions to power the clean energy transformation in Southeast Asia and beyond.      Perth-based software firm Powerledger has partnered with Thai energy company BCPG to launch a blockchain-enabled trading platform.      The innovative platform is creating a market-based solution to power Thailand’s energy transition.      Vinod Tiwari, Global Head of Business Development & Partnerships shares how Powerledger's software allows shopping centres, schools and hospitals to track, trace and trade every kilowatt of clean energy that is produced off-grid based on their needs.     Powerledger’s partnership with BCPG Public Company Limited was featured at the 1st Australia Thailand Energy Policy Dialogue (ATEPD) in Thailand on 5 November, where Vinod showcased how cooperation between the Thai Metropolitan Electricity Authority, BCPG, Sansiri and Powerledger is set to deliver full scale energy trading trials using blockchain technology.     The project will be one of the world’s largest real time, peer to peer electricity trading pilot projects.    Learn how you can Go Green with Australia: https://lnkd.in/gef2qSSu   #COP29 #GoGreenWithAustralia   Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) | Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade | Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

Curious about the future of energy? 🔋 Bullish on nuclear? ⚛️ Listen in to our conversation with Dr Jemma Green from Powerledger as she unpacks: 🔹 Evolution of decentralized energy markets 🔹 Challenges faced in transitioning from traditional power models to renewable energy solutions, while maintaining affordability and reliability 🔹 Strategic relocation from Australia 🇦🇺 to Switzerland 🇨🇭 🔹 Potential of decentralized compute & AI demand to revolutionize energy market dynamics Guest: Dr Jemma Green Hosts: Avi Mash Jody Flournoy (na: Sean Ristau)

Traditional energy markets were built for a one-way system: from big power plants to consumers. But what if blockchain could transform this outdated model? Enter Powerledger, enabling peer-to-peer energy trading and tracking on Solana. Their platform helps communities trade renewable energy directly - imagine selling excess solar power from your roof to neighbors or local businesses. While up to 20% of renewable energy is typically lost in today's system according to Powerledger, Powerledger's solution enables users to track and trade kilowatt hours transparently. The impact? In Uttar Pradesh, India, communities saw a 43% reduction in energy costs after implementing peer-to-peer trading. In Almócita, Spain, residents are already trading locally-generated renewable energy, making sustainable living a reality.
