Power Up the Future!⚡️ The White House Climate Policy Office and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) of Energy co-hosted a summit on grid modernization today. The AES Corporation was thrilled to be part of this important event, focused on harnessing innovative tech solutions to expand capacity and make our electricity cleaner, affordable, and dependable. We were proud to be represented by Alexina Jackson, Vice President of Strategic Development at The AES Corporation. Alexina’s team is breaking down barriers in the energy industry! 💡🔌 “What an honor to have AES’ innovative and all together approach to grid technology highlighted at The White House today. We emphasized the urgency for scale deployment of technology like dynamic line rating and storage as transmission to benefit grid customers. Through strategic and stacked deployments of technology, AES will lead into the accelerated future of energy.", Alexina Jackson said after the meeting. Leveraging AI and machine learning, AES is powering strategic innovation to streamline the integration of renewable resources into the power grid. Our cutting-edge technologies can push more power through existing wiring when the conditions are right. Additionally, expanding our battery storage facilities, we will add flexibility to the grid, providing better reliability and adaptability to changing energy demands. Together, we’re building a more resilient grid that fuels a brighter future for all! 🌎 https://lnkd.in/edrG4EeK #Innovation #GridModernization #ClimateAction

⚡ NECEC Facilitates Critical Conversations on Our Clean Energy Future ⚡ As we push for widespread clean energy adoption, it's imperative that we consider the challenges and opportunities facing our energy infrastructure and how we can power our future sustainably. Today, our Vice President of Innovation and Partnerships, Alistair Pim, is co-hosting our second event in our "Transitioning to the Future Grid in MA" series with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, where we will be discussing the future of Massachusetts' energy grid with stakeholders, including industry experts, energy regulators, and energy suppliers. Our event will focus on innovative solutions and policies to advance clean energy, streamline siting and permitting, and modernize our grid. As we gear up to share our findings from today's event, we are thrilled to share an insightful op-ed in The New York Times by Jonathan Mingle, “We Can Get the Electricity We Need Without Frying the Planet (or Our Pocketbooks)." Key points from the article: 🔌 Surging Power Demand: Electric utilities predict a significant increase in power demand from new industrial facilities, electric vehicles, and data centers. Many are proposing new natural gas plants, which could derail climate goals. 🌱 Better Alternatives: There are more sustainable ways to meet rising energy demands. Virtual power plants, energy efficiency measures, and upgraded transmission lines can provide reliable power without massive new gas infrastructure. 🌎 Smart Regulation Needed: Utilities' current incentives often favor building expensive, carbon-intensive infrastructure. Smarter regulations can encourage investments in clean, cost-effective solutions that benefit both the climate and consumers. NECEC is committed to fostering and facilitating these crucial conversations across the Northeast. Consider these insights, stay tuned for an event recap tomorrow, and join us in this critical conversation and help shape a cleaner, greener grid for Massachusetts and beyond! #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #FutureGridMA #NECEC https://lnkd.in/dVZFk-AG

🔌 The energy transition is placing increasing strain on the #grid as we #electrify everything from road transport, to home heating and industrial processes. 🔋The grid also needs to adapt to increasing renewables penetration and the rise of distributed energy resources. 💡It’s a climate necessity to accelerate grid buildout: it is estimated that we will need 80 million km of new transmission and distribution to meet our decarbonisation goals. And we can expect higher emissions if we don’t: cumulative power sector emissions until 2050 are projected to be 58 GtCO2 higher in scenarios where grid investment is delayed. ✍️ At ZCC, Chloe Coates has been looking into grid technologies in a series of two articles, now published on our blog: why now is the time to invest and what innovations are being deployed Let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/eiq_3vtm Are you a founder working on grid technologies? We would love to hear from you! #climatetech #climatehardware #decarbonisation

We can expect higher #emissions if we *don't* double the size of the energy grid? A detailed, exhaustive, but ultimately misguided report from Zero Carbon Capital. There are a lot of very clever numbers in your research but they are effectively #greenwashing. You are trying to make a case for *doubling* the global energy grid which includes conservatively "80 million km of new lines". Where do these lines come from? Steel, copper, and plastics provided generously by the fossil fuel industry and the mining industry. Just the mining of all of that raw material will result in and order of magnitude larger destruction — and human exploitation — than we've seen thus far. When you include the industrial production and transportation the mind boggles at the numbers and the destruction. What will they power? EVs and batteries. Provided generously by the fossil fuel industry and the mining industry. Produced largely by means of physical and sexual exploitation and modern slavery. But that's ok because its "a big market for the taking" and "a huge opportunity for investment". And when the grids have doubled, what will the original half be used for? If history has taught us anything is that it will still be used to supply fossil-fuel generated electricity. Because so far, all the "net zero investing" we have seen, has not displaced one single drop of oil or gas. Not. A. Single. Drop. The problem is the demand not the grid.
