The UK has shifted 47% of its power generation to renewables, reaching its trillionth kilowatt hour on 15 May 2023, a milestone that took 50 years to achieve, and it will only take five years to achieve the next trillionth kWh.

Wind electricity output decreased by 40% in 2023, and a similar slowdown in 2024 could cause power producers to struggle to maintain electricity supply levels without relying on fossil fuels. Solar farms can provide additional power, but their capacity is half that of wind, and they can only produce electricity during daylight hours. The UK's power system is expected to become cleaner as fossil fuel power stations retire and renewable generation capacity is introduced. https://lnkd.in/gzXNzc3P #DNO #gridcompliance #developers #powersystem #electricity #gridconnection #netzero #sustainability #renewables

LCOE doesn't tell the whole story. As an energy professional, I've seen firsthand how this metric can be misleading. Here's what LCOE misses: 1. Grid integration costs 2. Backup power requirements 3. Transmission infrastructure 4. System balancing expenses 5. Environmental externalities These "hidden costs" can significantly impact the true price of renewable energy. Example: In the UK, balancing costs jumped from £1.8B to £4.2B in just 3 years as renewables increased. We need a more comprehensive approach.

The UK and Ireland's recent auction success for PV projects is expected to boost the renewables industry, but challenges remain. Understanding the complexities of grid integration and compliance is crucial for the sector to thrive.

🌟 Exciting Update! 🌟 Over the past three days, I've successfully conducted several critical tests for wind and solar facilities, including two MOD-025, MOD-026, and MOD-027, along with ERCOT Part 3 testing on Solar + BESS project. ERCOT Part 3 testing, a prerequisite for commercialization, ensures compliance with Texas grid standards. If you're in the renewable energy industry and require these tests for your facilities, let's collaborate to ensure your projects are optimized for efficiency, reliability, and compliance. Reach out to discuss how we can contribute to a sustainable energy future. 💡 #RenewableEnergy #GridReliability #ERCOTTesting #MODTesting #CleanEnergy #sustainability #PART3TESTING

Despite high transportation and installation costs of a wind farm, especially offshore, wind energy is potentially on it way to become the most affordable renewable source thanks to the ever-larger power outputs of wind turbines. #renewableenergy #engineering #innovation #technology #europe

Key industries are seeing rapid growth across Australia. Renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, and energy storage, are expanding fast. Smart grid technologies are transforming control systems and automation. Resource sector projects in WA and SA continue to surge, whilst infrastructure upgrades modernise transmission networks and the grid. . . . #competency #training #trainingprovider #industrytraining #infrastructure #energy #energytransition #renewableenergy
