Did you know, renewable power is becoming a hot commodity? And not just because the Labour Party has big ambitions to substantially increase the UK’s volume of zero-carbon energy by 2030. Businesses are also driving demand. To understand how you can find a more direct route for your renewable power, read Michelle Stephens latest blog ➡️https://nbs.energy/3YNLQY1 #renewablepower #businessenergy #onsitegeneration

The UK renewable energy sector supports the new Budget's green initiatives, like enhanced funding for the Warm Homes Plan. However, industry leaders, including the REA, call for even bolder actions to meet net-zero goals, such as raising the Carbon Price Floor.

Green energy is a subset of renewable energy that provides the highest environmental benefits in terms of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and protecting our environment. Solar energy is often referred to as green energy, so we had to ask: How green is solar energy? 👇 https://lnkd.in/gagJHQzd #climateaction #greenenergy #solarenergy #climatechangesolutions #reducecarbonemissions

WEF Energy Transition Renewable energy and the US: This 3-step plan can make it happen Nov 27, 2024 Accelerating renewable energy development in the United States requires a balancing exercise between community and industry needs. Centralizing the permitting process and addressing local opposition are critical to overcoming barriers to renewable energy projects. Aligning federal, state, local and private investments can unlock new opportunities to support carbon reduction targets and ensure broader community benefits. Elon Musk recently posted on X that solar energy will provide the majority of power generation. Many energy forecasts agree and data from the Pew Research Centre shows that 60% of Americans also want more clean energy. So, why does building more renewable power in the United States feels like an uphill battle? Start by looking at the responses to Musk’s post: “Solar doesn’t work because the sun doesn’t always shine,” “Solar panels will break when there are storms,” and “Solar is not affordable.” Messages like this appear across many social media platforms and feed special interest groups focused on slowing the development of clean energy. Communities that represent both sides of the aisle oppose clean energy development. This is the biggest challenge facing the renewables industry and it can only be overcome by proactively engaging with local communities, reforming the permitting process and applying scalable, proven project development frameworks.

The renewable energy landscape is evolving, and one project that stands out is the Pelicans Jaw Hybrid Solar Project. Located in the sun-drenched landscapes of Kern County, California, this large-scale green energy facility is creating a significant impact. Key Specifications: -     Location: Kern County, California -     Area: Sprawling across 3,943 acres -     Capacity: A whopping 500 megawatts (MW) -     Battery Energy Storage System (BESS): Capable of storing approximately 2,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy 🌐 Why Pelicans Jaw? The project harnesses the abundant California sunshine, converting it into clean electricity, with its cutting-edge BESS, Pelicans Jaw ensures reliable power supply even after sunset.By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, this solar gem contributes to a greener future. The Pelicans Jaw Hybrid Solar Project is backed by an impressive $810 million investment.Investors looking to align their portfolios with sustainability goals should keep an eye on this venture. While Pelicans Jaw shines in California, let’s remember that renewable energy knows no boundaries. It’s a global effort, and projects like this inspire similar initiatives across continents. Country-Specific Policy Spotlight: -     The U.S. federal tax incentives—Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit (PTC), Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Residential Energy Credit, and Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS)—fuel this renewable revolution. -     The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, coupled with the Inflation Reduction Act, marks historic investments in clean energy solutions. Rural communities benefit, and access to affordable clean energy expands. 📢 Join the Conversation: Have you invested in renewable energy projects? Share your thoughts below!

Quite an insightful article on renewable power 'wastage' from Daniel Mercer at the ABC. We're overproducing renewable energy, just lacking the ability to store it all - but given we're all on the journey now (big batteries, etc), the future does seem bright. https://lnkd.in/g6EaPP4i

Interesting piece from Blathnaid O'Dea at pv magazine Global. https://lnkd.in/dt-emkzp The latest Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) Q3 2024 Retrofit Report highlights the progress Ireland is making toward a sustainable energy future. With over 21,000 applications for the Solar PV Scheme in the first nine months of the year—a 13% year-on-year increase—solar technology is clearly becoming central to Ireland’s energy transition. However, the upcoming reduction in grant values from 2025 presents both challenges and opportunities for the solar industry: 1. Adapting to Change: As financial incentives decline, manufacturers, installers, and policymakers must work together to ensure solar remains accessible and attractive for homeowners and businesses. 2. Focusing on Innovation and Quality: Delivering durable, future-proof solutions is essential to building confidence and maximise the long-term benefits of a renewable first approach in Ireland. 3. Policy and Partnerships: Sustaining progress requires close collaboration between the public and private sectors. How can we best advocate for policies that support long-term renewable energy goals? Ireland’s experience is a case study in how policy and innovation can drive meaningful change. For those of us in the solar sector, it’s a reminder of the important role we play in enabling these transitions. Is there anything I missed?
