As a result, well over half of the continent is at elevated or high risk of energy shortfalls over the next 5 to 10 years.While generator retirement plans continue over the next 10 years, electricity demand and energy growth are climbing rapidly. ...
Canada should focus on building mass utility-scale solar mega-projects to kickstart its green energy transition, according to a new report from Simon Fraser University's Clean Energy Research Group. The recommendation comes from a new paper published in the journal Solar Compass which looks at the current state of solar power and compares the benefits of both mass-scale projects and smaller, ...
During the three-day event, FIRE will present the results of a survey conducted among technology providers and users. Energy transition between opportunities, regulations and authorisations: energy transition not only increases a country´s energy autonomy and security, it also contributes to creating new jobs and ...
The world will need 532,000 new wind technicians by 2028 to meet the increasing demand for onshore and offshore wind, according to the Global Wind Workforce Outlook, a new report from the Global Wind Energy Council and Global Wind Organisation. The report finds that 40% of those roles will need to be filled by new entrants, highlighting the need for a resilient supply chain of skilled personnel ...
Energy Efficiency 2024, the IEA’s annual report on energy efficiency developments around the world, finds that global primary energy intensity – a measure of efficiency – is set to improve by around 1% in 2024. ...
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) Board of Governors has approved a pair of provisions advancing a major transmission intertie that will deliver Idaho wind energy to California and the Southwest, while opening additional energy resources for Idaho.The Board voted Friday to accept a revision to its earlier conditional approval of the 500-kilovolt Southwest Intertie Project-North ...
The collaboration comes at a time when efficient and cost-effective regional transmission development is essential and encouraged by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the independent federal agency that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity.Power demand in the PJM region is growing at an unprecedented pace due to rapid expansion of ...
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved a comprehensive series of reforms to the California Independent System Operator’s (ISO) interconnection process, ruling that the changes will help “ensure that interconnection customers are able to interconnect to the transmission system in a reliable, efficient, transparent, and timely manner.”Under terms of the 103-page order issued ...
Government support and incentives for clean energy technologies have reached new highs as policymakers place renewed focus on energy security in the wake of multiple crises in recent years, according to a new IEA report.The first edition of the report – State of Energy Policy 2024 – provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date global picture of ...
The Bonneville Power Administration integrated a new tool this summer to improve its real-time transmission system monitoring. The Dynamic Line Rating Tool helps engineers determine how much electrical current can run through a transmission line as temperatures change.The project was led by Real-Time Operations, the Transmission Services organization responsible for the safe and reliable ...
A new technical report from Cascade Institute reviews state-of-the-art deep geothermal drilling and well-construction technologies, identifies existing technology gaps, and suggests strategies to overcome these gaps. The technologies include conventional drill bits, hybrid conventional drill bits, direct energy drilling systems, high-temperature downhole tools, insulated drill pipe, low-heat ...
In a significant advancement in the field of surface engineering, Hiden Analytical is thrilled to introduce the High-Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technique – a cutting-edge method derived from the conventional magnetron sputtering process, designed to enhance the quality and durability of coated surfaces. HiPIMS technology sets a new standard in coating applications by ...
EVLO Energy Storage Inc., an integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS) provider and wholly owned subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, has announced the deployment of three EVLOFLEX battery energy storage systems in the Commonwealth of Virginia.Set to be commissioned in 2025 and 2026, these projects will support the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA), the most ambitious clean energy policy in ...
Without rapid investments in clean energy storage, Illinois consumers will pay up to $30 more per month for energy, and the state will face energy shortfalls and a higher risk of blackouts, according to a newly released study.The study, “Cost and Benefit Analysis of Energy Storage Resource Deployment in Illinois,” found that ...
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has pointed out that reaching over 11 Terawatts of installed renewables capacity as set at COP28 would necessitate overcoming identified structural barriers. ...
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) this week released its 2023-2042 System & Resource Outlook (The Outlook), which provides a wide-ranging assessment of future transmission and generation investment opportunities driven by economics and public policy.Electricity demand is expected to increase by 50% - 90% over the study horizon, driven by electrification of housing and ...
Today's main policy questions relate to what an energy policy should look like to be robust and flexible enough to deal with the uncertainties of the future. Therefore, a scenario-approach relying on energy system models is essential to support decision making because modern energy system analysis provides the best chance of ensuring decisions will not be regretted in the medium to long ...
The United States has made significant strides in its efforts to ensure a secure, sustainable and affordable energy system in recent years thanks to government actions that have helped unleash a surge in clean energy investment, according to the IEA's latest review of US energy policies.The United States 2024: Energy Policy Review, published this week, provides an assessment of US policies and ...
FERC this wee (June 27) invited the public to comment on a potential framework that would make more efficient and cost-effective use of the power grid by requiring the application of dynamic line ratings (DLR), which use up-to-date forecasts of weather conditions to improve the accuracy and transparency of transmission line ratings.Transmission line ratings represent the maximum transfer ...
