The UK is set to withdraw from the Energy Charter Treaty (“ECT”). This briefing looks at the background to the UK Government’s decision to withdraw, the potential implications it will have on the green energy transition, and what energy companies should do.   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/enHq94Ve This article relates to legal developments in the United Kingdom, and was authored by Jonathan Leach, Wilson Antoon and Romy Descours-Karmitz. #EnergyTransition 

The U.S. power sector faces a dual challenge: we need to reduce grid emissions while also connecting new, low-carbon energy sources. See how federal agencies, states, communities and the private sector can build on the progress that's been made: https://lnkd.in/e-Df25gb

Tuesday's announcement marks a crucial federal investment in the U.S. transmission grid. Current growth rates of the grid aren't sufficient to support the rapid integration of clean energy necessary to address climate change. Energy experts caution that without significantly expanding our grid capacity—potentially doubling or tripling it—the U.S. won't achieve the Biden administration’s goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. #energygrid #cleanenergy #2030

Many more details needed to make a judgement on this announcement or is it just due an annoucement due to the coming general election. Its unclear why existing regulatory tools such as the capacity market are insufficient to maintain energy security.

The article elucidates the intricate challenges surrounding clean energy policy within the contemporary political milieu; however, it neglects to recognize the imperative for a coherent and principled framework that extends beyond the confines of mere market dynamics. In our pursuit of a transition to renewable energy, it is essential to cultivate a centralized vision that prioritizes sustainable development, firmly anchored in our cultural and historical context. Both candidates, regrettably, exhibit a lack of a comprehensive strategy that engages with the moral imperatives inherent in energy consumption and production, instead resorting to a series of fragmented policies shaped by transient political exigencies. A genuinely transformative approach must encompass not only robust regulatory frameworks but also a resolute commitment to nurturing local economies and communities, thereby ensuring that the transition to clean energy is equitable and harmonized with foundational ethical values. #Energy #TradePolicy #CleanEnergy

States with progressive #energypolicy, including #decarbonization, should take note of the mounting opposition from other states being asked to subsidize their policies. While there may always be some level of subsidization at the #RTO level, it's important to ask the entity paying for it: when is subsidization good and when is it bad? Here’s to a continued conversation on how to balance subsidies and energy policies. #energydebate #sustainability

The Tank Storage Association has just released its 2024 manifesto 📝 The manifesto outlines six crucial steps that the UK government can take to further secure the bulk storage sector in its journey towards carbon neutrality: 1. Collaborate with the industry to drive change and shape future decades. 2. Recognize the bulk storage and energy infrastructure sector's contributions and innovations in future plans towards net zero. 3. Streamline funding, permitting, and procurement procedures for more sector participation in net zero policies. 4. Consider storage as a net-zero technology that can advance the energy transition. 5. Explore how stockpiling obligations should change in light of geopolitical and energy transition developments. 6. Revise IETF application methods to emphasize infrastructure's role in net-zero policies. Curious to know more?
