At the end of the day, we all want reliable, plentiful, and affordable power. Right now many regions are facing unprecedented load growth, dwindling reserve margins and rapid fossil fuel retirements—all leading to insufficient generation resources to keep pace with demand. Clean repowering or the opportunity for new clean energy resources, for example, battery storage, to be developed at existing fossil plants and repurpose the property, utilize the existing interconnection rights, the transmission and supporting infrastructure, and enable these resources to interconnect to the grid faster, at lower cost, and with greater assurance is the answer. A new era needs a new approach…
Clean Repowering Can Avoid Disastrous Delays with 250 GW of Clean Energy RMI: https://lnkd.in/gX5pk2xb “Elevate Renewables continues to see more and more objective analyses that highlight the economic and societal benefits that can result from a more timely and efficient review of clean repowering projects - which provide opportunities for new clean energy resources to be developed at existing fossil plants, enabling them to plug into the grid faster and at lower cost,” stated Tonja Wicks, Elevate Renewables VP of Regulatory Affairs. “The size of the opportunity and the added benefits to workers and communities is another reason to shout about this strategy from the rooftops” - Ben Proffer, RMI Strategic Communications Manager/Carbon-Free Electricity. #cleanrepowering #elevaterenewables #renewableenergy #decarbonization #cleanenergy
