🌍 Making the UK a Clean Energy Superpower ⚡   Last week's announcement from Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Miliband reinforces the critical role renewable energy will play in securing a greener, more reliable future for the UK. Prioritising essential projects, placing flexibility at the heart of the plan, streamlining grid connections, and accelerating planning decisions are the kind of progressive steps needed to unlock the full potential of the energy transition in the UK. At E.ON UK, E.ON Next and npower Business Solutions, we know that achieving net zero isn’t just about policy - it’s about action. By embracing innovation and working together, we can help accelerate renewable energy projects, create more green jobs, and continue to drive for cleaner and more affordable power for all. We look forward to continuing to work together with Government to lead the energy transition. It’s on us to make new energy work in the UK. #EON #NetZero #Sustainability #Energy #CleanEnergy

Now, onto a topic I’m personally and professionally very passionate about: Infrastructure and Energy Transition. A few reflections from “Charging Forward: What Will it Take to Successfully Benefit from the Energy Transition” with Kate Roscoe, Edwina Kelly, Polina Sims, Veronique Talbot and Olivia Wassenaar at #WPCSCanada24 include: • The energy transition is real and broad, encompassing sustainable manufacturing, accessing renewable energy sources, and developing technologies that enable the shift. • Flexibility in mandates and investment pathways is crucial to addressing the energy transition. • Energy transition is a theme that does not fit into a single category; it is emerging across various sectors. • The framework defining energy transition and the investment surrounding it is evolving. • There is no single solution; the road to decarbonization involves multiple pathways. • Timelines for key processes to bring projects to life, projects availability, and broader education around energy transition are top of mind when investing in this space.

Infrastructure investment in mature sectors like renewable energy has led to stable and decreasing electricity costs in the UK, with investors making fair returns. Yet more complex and emissions-intensive sectors such as battery manufacturing require strategic advancement.  Our CEO Jonathan Pollock examines the key opportunities that early-stage climate technology presents for decarbonising complex infrastructure across these emissions-intensive sectors and supply chains. Elbow Beach Capital targets investment in start-ups which are developing exactly the kind of technologies that we need to unlock net zero across these complex industries whilst also improving the economics of the sector.

𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿! 🌍🚀 NESO’s new report, "Clean Power 2030," provides a bold plan to achieve 100% clean power for Great Britain by 2030, with goals that emphasise both urgency and scale. It highlights some significant challenges we need to address to hit these ambitious targets: • 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗨𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀: A major push is needed, calling for twice as much new transmission infrastructure in the next five years as was built in the past decade. • 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: NESO proposes two pathways, one focusing on ramping up low-carbon dispatchable sources (like CCS & hydrogen) and another emphasising fast-tracked renewables like wind and solar. • 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿: Onshore Wind to double and Solar to treble by 2030.  • 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲: Batteries (5GW today) must increase to between 23GW-27GW by 2030. Long-duration storage (LDES) is highlighted as essential but will require major investment and planning. • 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 & 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Digitalisation, AI, and upskilling the energy workforce are seen as critical to streamlining operations and ensuring we’re ready for this transformation. The journey to clean power requires swift action, high investment, and unprecedented coordination across the sector. But as NESO states, "the foundations are in place" – it’s time to build on them! #CleanEnergy #NetZero #Renewables #GridModernisation #SustainableFuture https://lnkd.in/eEzd2Svh

The US energy sector is buzzing with innovative investment trends! 🌍🔋 It's fascinating how rapidly the shift toward sustainable energy is changing the landscape. Investment is booming in renewable sources like solar and wind, with technological advancements making them more viable and efficient. Battery storage is another hot area, ensuring we can harness and use renewable energy even when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing. This movement is reflective of a broader global shift. As nations commit to reducing carbon emissions, the demand for clean energy solutions is skyrocketing. In the US, there's a significant collaboration between public and private sectors to push these green initiatives forward. Exciting times ahead as we steer towards a more sustainable future! 🚀🌿 #SustainableEnergy #RenewableInvestments #GreenEconomy
