As the competition for land in energy projects heats up, speed could become a game-changer in the development industry. Securing and permitting land for clean energy projects is currently slow and costly, with less than 20% successfully connecting to the grid due to interconnection costs and local objections. In New York, to meet its 20 GW renewable goal by 2030, it needs to ramp up deployment from 0.5 GW to 2.8 GW annually. Meeting climate and clean energy targets will require a faster pace of development. https://lnkd.in/eYWMY6KX #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #EnergyProjects #SpeedToMarket #Interconnection #PermittingChallenges #NewYorkEnergy #ClimateGoals #EnergyDevelopment #GreenEnergy #SustainableFuture #EnergyTransition

🎯 To achieve the target of a decarbonised power system by 2035, the UK must rapidly advance renewable energy projects and electricity infrastructure. 📉 Despite some progress, recent years have seen ever growing planning delays, grid connection issues, and global supply chain competition impeding progress. ⚡ In our latest briefing, Sophie O'Connell and Johann Beckford map out the planning context around renewable energy and explain what needs to change to speed up the development of a clean power system, including greater public awareness of the changes to expect. Acting on our recommendations would help to streamline renewable infrastructure development, address opposition and safeguard nature. 📘 Read the briefing here 👇 https://lnkd.in/e_SP7wSe

The Clean Energy Council hosted the Australian Wind Industry Summit in Melbourne this week, and it was a fantastic event. It was great to connect with others in the industry, and we were proud to have contributed as a session sponsor. The key takeaway is that Australia is turning a corner with project development. In the last 6 months, ~1.5 gigawatts of new projects have been approved and are now starting construction phase. This is especially good news given no wind projects reached financial completion in 2023. However, we need to carefully manage the challenges of construction and transport as we start using larger machines with greater hub heights and rotor blades. Pictured are some of the team making everyday better in the renewable energy space - Mike Simons, Harshal Patel and Georgina Fairweather. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting the growth of the wind industry.

Australia continues to hit key milestones in its energy transition, with the last week of Winter 2024 recording the highest rooftop and utility-scale solar contributions for the season! South Australia notably achieved a significant feat by running on over 100% renewable energy during the same week, showcasing the growing dominance of clean energy sources in the nation's power grid. These milestones highlight Australia's continued progress toward a more sustainable and renewable energy future. Our team looks forward to continuing to play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s renewable energy future as we expand our portfolio of sustainable energy infrastructure. #SustainableFuture #SustainableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Australia #RenewableEnergy #DBESS #BatteryStorage #BESS #SolarEnergy #SouthAustralia

The integration of renewable energy into buildings is transforming the construction industry, driving cost savings and meeting evolving energy standards. In our latest article, we explore the role of renewable energy—especially small wind power—in shaping energy-efficient, sustainable buildings.  Learn how incorporating wind energy into building design not only meets environmental regulations but also significantly lowers energy costs, even enabling buildings to achieve better energy class ratings without breaking the budget. Curious about how wind energy can enhance your building's energy strategy? We offer a free feasibility study to help you identify potential improvements.

A2EP recently made a submission on the Australian Government's Electricity and Energy Sector Plan discussion paper. In the submission, we make a number of points focussed on the demand-side of energy use of the sector, including: - the underestimation of industrial electrification needs in AEMO’s Draft 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP) - the underestimation of the potential of bioenergy for renewable heating (and transport) is grossly under-estimated and the assumption of delivery via the existing gas network is reducing the opportunity - the overestimation of how fast industry will be electrified. The submission also discusses barriers to transforming Australia's electricity and energy sector, such as a lack of data on heating demands, bioenergy feedstocks and waste heat, too much focus on renewable energy supply and not enough on renewable energy demand and usage, and general barriers to industrial heat decarbonisation via electrification and bioenergy.
