Virtual power plants can deliver grid services ranging from resource adequacy to reliability at scale—all while making energy more affordable. But most utilities have yet to leverage the full potential of these readily available, affordable, customer-sited resources to add flexibility to the grid. 2 things can help: 1️⃣ Proof-of-concept: Model demand response programs like California's Emergency Load Reduction Program and Massachusetts' ConnectedSolutions can shine the way for utilities 2️⃣ The right policy incentives: Incentivizing utilities to scale up and integrate distributed energy resources, and compensating customers fairly for using these assets will help utilities take advantage of VPPs.

Infinigen Renewables Leads Renewable Energy Transformation in Puerto Rico Infinigen Renewables, a prominent player in utility-scale solar and commercial projects, emerges as a key contributor to Puerto Rico’s energy transition, prioritizing reliability and sustainability in the power sector. With a focus on independent solar power production and operation, Infinigen has been actively involved in Puerto Rico’s renewable energy landscape since 2015. The company’s assets include two significant solar PV plants: Horizon Solar Park in Salinas and Oriana Solar Park in Isabela, boasting a combined capacity of 73.2 MW dc. Horizon Solar Park, operational since 2015, was the first to meet the strict technical standards set by the Puerto Rico […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dtwG8uKx #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #middleeast #africa #india #asiapacific #asia #america #infinigenrenewables #northamerica #puertorico #renewableenergy

⚡️ 21 states and the DOE are teaming up to boost grid-enhancing technologies and advanced conductors. This initiative aims to supercharge our existing transmission system and foster greater state-federal cooperation on transmission planning.

We’re not going to meet the incredible demand for power by doing more of the same. We’re going to need innovative solutions to get around grid bottlenecks. AES has been focused on overcoming these bottlenecks by using Dynamic Line Rating and energy storage as transmission, aka 'Grid Boosters'. Great to see AES emphasizing the urgency of deployment of these technologies at the WH/DOE summit on grid modernization yesterday.

🔌What State Grid’s new power line means for Brazil’s energy transition The most recent chapter on Chinese investment in the Brazilian electricity sector was written in December, with state-owned utility giant State Grid placing a successful bid in the largest power transmission auction ever held in Brazil. The company secured the largest of the three contracts on offer, and plans to invest BRL 18 billion (USD 3.6 billion) to build 1,513 kilometers of transmission lines and two substations between the state of Maranhão, in Brazil’s Northeast, and the central state of Goiás. The main aim of the project is to guarantee the flow of renewable energy generation from Brazil’s Northeast region, which is experiencing a boom in wind and solar power plants. 🔗Read more in our full article by Paulo Motoryn here 👇 https://lnkd.in/diuP9zep #China #Energy #EarthWeek #Investments

We need to be doing more to help third-world countries use #RenewableEnergy. 🌍 In Puerto Rico, residents are using #SolarEnergy as a cleaner, more affordable alternative to the central power grid. But a political challenge by a government entity threatens to slow that progress, making it particularly hard for communities and lower-income households to access clean energy technology. We need to prioritise global #EnergyEquity and make sure that everyone has access to clean, affordable energy.

New DOE roadmaps for grid infrastructure development highlight the role Virtual Power Plants, smart grid technologies, and new transmission technologies can play in significantly increasing the capacity of existing grid infrastructure. Coupled with the need to spend tens of billions on new infrastructure, the two reports show how pressing the demand is for transmission capacity to bring gigawatts of planned renewable energy projects to homes and businesses across the country.
