How can we accelerate the UK energy transition? To transform our #EnergySystem we need to collaborate across sectors and businesses. 100 energy companies and 100 business energy consumers told us what they need from each other, their peers, supply chain, investors and policy makers to accelerate their role in UK #EnergyTransition. What do you think are the priorities? Read our survey report to find out. https://deloi.tt/47cgNHm #NetZero #Decarbonisation

While great strides have been made, we are not on track with addressing decarbonization because of continuing challenges that require concerted efforts to accelerate the energy transition and more aggressive approaches to reduce energy demand and increase efficiency in facilities.

This is the real limiting factor for #datacenter growth in the USA 🇺🇸 #energy project interconnection queues. Thanks Visual Capitalist for the average age in months by state and number of total projects

"By the end of 2023, more than 11,000 energy projects were in interconnection queues in the United States, waiting for a green-light from regional grid operators to proceed with construction. " 🌞🍃🔋 Great map from VC showing how many projects are pending interconnection permits in the US!⚡ #Solar #Wind #BESS #Interconnection #GreenEnergy #RenewableEnergy

Mapped: The Age of Energy Projects in Interconnection Queues, by State⚡ In partnership with National Public Utilities Council, this visual is a part of our Decarbonization Channel—shining a light on the progress toward net zero goals in the U.S. 🍃 https://lnkd.in/gC2rQ3-g #energyshift #powergrid #renewableenergy #unitedstates

Did you know that by the end of 2023, over 11,000 energy projects were waiting in interconnection queues across the United States? Wind projects wait an average of 3.33 years, while solar projects make up over 40% of the queue. Shortening wait times for #renewableenergy projects is crucial for speeding up our move to a low-carbon future!

The DOE has released zero-emissions building definition, part 1 of 3. Part 1 of the definition focuses on operational emissions from energy use, setting criteria to determine whether a building generates zero emissions from energy used in building operations. Parts 2 and 3 will define zero on-site emissions from energy use, involving ensuring that direct greenhouse gas emissions from energy use equal zero; and ensuring that all energy consumed by the building is clean energy obtained through any combination of on- and off-site sources, as long as GHG emissions from that source equal zero. https://ow.ly/j9iY30sEkZT #sustainabledesign #zeroemissions #carbonemissions #emissionsreduction

There are many high valuable interconnection points on the grid from existing power plants to factories, mills, and other industrial plants. Seeing these as an asset versus just an abandoned building has tremendous potential for speeding up projects across the globe. It is important that we can leverage existing infrastructure to make the energy transition, otherwise the speed and cost will not allow us to meet our goals. #energytransition A polluting, coal-fired power plant found the key to solving America’s biggest clean energy challenge: https://lnkd.in/g28HtCZc

Policymakers and industry leaders are looking for new, sustainable solutions for reliable, affordable electricity. Recently, POLITICO ’s 2024 Energy Summit took a closer look at how both groups are writing and revising the rules of the future and investing in energy infrastructure. ⤵️ #WePowerLife
