Great advice to avoid unnecessary delays to your connections.
Attention Queensland Contractors! 🚨 Changes to labelling requirements for new consumer mains connected to underground service pillars in the Energy Queensland network are in effect. Previous methods are no longer acceptable. Ensure compliance by accessing the updated labelling guidelines here 👇🏼
What should be low hanging fruit, promoting energy efficiency, always seems to get distorted in policy practices. Perverse situations where more efficient appliances allow affordability of larger, more energy consuming appliances. Energy Star will be granted for the same volume for an inefficient design (side freezer) over a more efficient, less energy consuming fridge but not for its class (top freezer). Now this. Argh. https://lnkd.in/dHArCAKs https://lnkd.in/ddGuaUfJ https://lnkd.in/dAX52HXN
How bad can bogus demand response get? A company called American Efficient is accused of buying data on customers who have already purchased efficient appliances and bidding the savings in as demand response. "American Efficient’s program receives more capacity payments than any single generator in PJM" https://lnkd.in/gZbKfMSk

This is such an important topic. Homeowners owners need education around lower temperature heating and to normalise open systems and different ways of controlling their heating systems and that this applies to boilers too not just heat pumps.
Great to see Government confirming heating engineers will all need to be competent to install efficient "low temperature" systems going forward. It's never been fair on competent installers to allow others to undermine the reputation of the sector. Huge step forwards towards lower bills for consumers, and well done to the DESNZ team for seeing this through! https://lnkd.in/effd9X9w
Unplanned disruptions to your power supply can be costly, especially when you rely on your power for business productivity. Here are our top tips for preparing for unplanned power outages caused by the weather: ✔️ Keep on top of the weather forecast – The Met Eireann website and app has a 3-day forecast displaying all warnings, so you can start preparing up to three days in advance. ✔️ Arrange preventative maintenance – Preventative maintenance is essential in ensuring the health of your standby generator. Our Asset Care Management service provides access to our specialist service engineers and our 24/7/365 Breakdown Assist Facility. ✔️ Check your generators key components – If you are in between maintenance visits, check the fuel level, engine heater, battery charger and make sure there are no oil leaks. ✔️ Check that your transfer switch and change over panel is set to auto mode - this will ensure a seamless transition of power when it detects a failure or outage. Run your generator – If your generator is not run regularly, turn it on for 30 minutes to make sure it is running correctly. ✔️ Invest in a generator – Standby power is invaluable during a power outage. We have a range of standby generators in stock and ready for dispatch.

One of the criticisms of heat pumps is that they need to operate at low flow temperatures. What those critics often neglect to mention is that modern gas boiler are also supposed to operate at low temperatures. Most condensing boilers in the UK haven’t condensed for one minute since they day there were installed. The new drive to make low temperature systems the norm is hugely important, not only for reducing emissions and bills, not only for helping our 120,000 heating engineers to compete with the ‘best in class’ skills in the sector and their overseas counterparts, but also because it paves the way for a mass market for heat pumps.

The Ontario Energy Board is moving forward with capacity mapping to support more informed decisions for all parties involved in expanding Ontario's grid modernization initiatives. Providing context using maps to visualize and communicate gaps and potential opportunities. "The 2024 survey revealed that system capacity maps can also play a crucial role in facilitating the strategic deployment of DERs and supporting other load customer connections." https://lnkd.in/e-bqQpiA #OntarioEnergyBoard #locationintelligence #GIS #gridmodernization
The Government has launched a consultation on potential reforms to EPCs, Display Air Certificates and Air Conditioning Inspection Reports. Reforms are proposed in respect of: 🌳 updating what EPCs measure through additional metrics 🌳 updating when energy certificates are required by refining the rules for obtaining EPCs and DECs 🌳 managing energy certificate quality 🌳 improving the accessibility of building performance data 🌳 strengthening the quality of air conditioning inspection reports The consultation can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eAMny5iK and responses are due by 26 February 2025. #Property #EnergyEfficiency #EPC #EnergyPerformance #Consultation Muckle LLP | B Corp™
