Flexing the Grid Check out our latest article, unpacking Ireland's latest grid flexibility proposals. It's relatively high level and visual so hopefully it's the gist rather than the mist! Rowan Molony
Flexing The Grid Terry explores Ireland's latest grid flexibility, looking at the current state of play and deep diving into these emerging opportunities. Let us know your thoughts! 🔋 #EnergyStorage #Sustainability #BatteryTech #RenewableEnergy #DemandResponse
The future is electric Electrification of the property sector will play a key role in helping us get to #netzero and the Green Building Council of Australia has just released a practical guide for developers, governments, building owners, planners, investors and residents that explains the benefits of grid-optimised precincts. It looks at building new precincts using a combination of technologies to help Australia decarbonise, reach its climate targets and secure lower energy costs. Learn more https://lnkd.in/g3_D3J6a
As we hit the final mile of our Clean Energy Week Road Trip, we just want to say— THANK YOU for riding shotgun with us on this epic journey across the US! From the solar-powered highways of the West, through the sunbaked landscapes of the Southwest, across the wind-swept farmlands of the Midwest, through the gator-filled swamps of the Southeast, and up to the vibrant, eco-friendly cities of the Northeast—it’s been a wild, adventurous, and eco-friendly ride! We’ve tackled solar farms sprawling across deserts, watched wind turbines spin against endless cornfields, and even conquered the marshmallow-soft soils of Arkansas. Through it all, KWRE has proven that renewable energy can overcome any challenge, bringing smart, sustainable power to homes and communities across the country. But this isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning! Keep your seatbelts fastened and your eyes on the road, because the journey to a greener future is far from over. Thanks for riding along, and here’s to even more adventures ahead! #CleanEnergyWeek #BuildingCleanerFuture #KWRE #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyJourney #KWRERoadtrip #SustainabilityOnTheRoad #EnergyRoadtrip #DiscoverCleanEnergy #RoadtripAcrossAmerica #ExploreRenewables #GreenInnovation #FutureOfEnergy #SustainableSolutions #EnergyTransformation #CleanEnergyRevolution #TravelGreen #CarbonFootprintImpact #JobsInRenewables #GridReliability #SolarPower #WindEnergy #BatteryStorage #HydrogenProjects #RenewableDevelopment #CleanEnergyFuture #HavingFunWithRenewableEnergy #WildestRideInTheWilderness
Last year, the Swedish Energy Agency and Smart City Sweden arranged a three-day programme for leading US companies interested in solutions related to smart solutions for infrastructure, energy efficiency and reduced climate impact. Now, Building Energy Exchange has gathered the lessons learned in Stockholm into a report: 'International Exchanges – Solutions for Low Carbon Building: Stockholm'. During this event on the 29th of May, the knowledge exchange between the two countries will be discussed and updates on the initiatives will be revealed. #Retrofitting #LowCarbonBuildings #EnergyEfficiency

The city of Valencia is placing 7000 #solarpanels in its cemeteries as part of the Requiem in Power (RIP) project which will be the largest #urbansolarfarm in Spain, capable of producing around 2.8 MW of electricity and will save up to 140 tons of #carbonemissions every year when fully operational. #renewableenergy #urbanplanning
🌬️ Increasing Social Acceptance of Wind Energy 🌍 A recent survey by Interreg Europe, an interregional cooperation programme co-funded by the European Union, sheds light on challenges facing wind energy projects. Despite wind energy contributing 17% to the EU27+UK's power demand by 2022, #publicacceptance varies due to concerns like aesthetics, wildlife impact, noise, and land use changes. To enhance acceptance, policymakers advocate for community engagement, equitable benefit sharing, and rigorous #environmental assessments. Different projects in EU's coutries, demonstrate successful community-owned and environmentally conscious models.

Leveraging underused spaces for sustainable development is a passion of mine, and the latest article from Cipher News, co-authored by Allie Kelly, the Executive Director of The Ray Highway, showcases exactly why. This insightful article highlights the strategic implementation of right-of-way (ROW) solar projects along our highways, transforming mundane strips of land into hubs of clean energy production. Such projects aren't only about power generation; they are a clever repurposing of existing public assets, demonstrating a practical approach to sustainability that can be replicated nationwide. The Ray's pioneering efforts in ROW solar are setting new standards in how we think about infrastructure and energy. By integrating solar arrays seamlessly into the landscape of our highways, these initiatives not only bolster our energy grid but also enhance the environmental and economic value of previously overlooked spaces. It’s a forward-thinking model that aligns with our goals to reduce carbon footprints and promote renewable energy sources, all while maintaining the integrity and functionality of our transportation corridors. Let's also not forget that these same ROW can be utilized for transmission that has the potential to assist with grid congestion. Millions of acres of unproductive land could be utilized for our nations energy infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/gjA__sb3
💡Last week, Cinzia Morisco Coordinator of ECOEMPOWER project was in Bruxelles to take part to the Energy Communities Contractor’s Meeting, organised by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency to foster collaboration and synergies between European project working on Energy Communities.🔝 🤝 A lot of interesting discussions sparkled between projects and with CINEA on the #energy systems of the future and how to support this #transition in the best way through our #projects.

1wThanks for the write-up, Terry McGrenaghan. Interesting that the envelopes concept is being used in Ireland. I was just in a conversation with Australian partners, and there, upcoming regulation is also using the "envelope" terminology: https://arena.gov.au/knowledge-innovation/distributed-energy-integration-program/dynamic-operating-envelopes-workstream/ And in The Netherlands, the related concept might be the "Capaciteits-Beperkend Contracten". But it's also early days for that over here. In our FlexMeasures platform, such envelopes can be modelled. We extended it recently, going beyond just one contracted capacity. This would hold for both the Simulations and Cloud EMS. Especially in such settings, I believe that a behind-the-meter EMS should work together with any front-of-the-meter optimization (i.e. flex-trading) system, as the available up-or-downward flex for the upcoming hours is becoming more volatile :) One more thing: In your helpful visualization, the area under the curve would be different for the site over the course of the day than in the initial, non-flexible case - ideally, scheduling across the day should make sure it is the same, just steering clear of the envelope.
