Enel North America

⭐ Major milestone unlocked. Enel North America just surpassed 10 GW of installed clean power capacity and 1 GW of large-scale energy storage capacity. This record reaffirms our position as one of the largest renewables operators in the US and Canada with nearly 25 years at the forefront of the clean energy transition.

On one side, we have cost savings, a reduced carbon footprint, and improved PV performance. On the other side, there's soil health, food for sheep, and a new revenue stream for farmers in rural America. Discover the benefits when solar meets sheep 👇

I recently spoke with Cameron Murray from Energy-Storage.news about some of the major trends impacting utility-scale BESS in the US — and Enel North America’s role as the largest BESS owner-operator in the ERCOT, Texas market.   Some key points from our conversation: 👉 With increasing load from electrification and data centers, extreme weather events, and greater renewables penetration, BESS is critical for preserving reliability and affordability – now and into the future. 👉 Increased domestic manufacturing will enable a fast, localized BESS industry. But until that can take shape, we need rules that offer greater supply chain clarity and regulations that compensate developers and operators fairly. 👉 Young technologies also need a thorough incentive structure to achieve meaningful scale. We welcome both the stand-alone investment tax credit and all ITC and PTC adders as necessary to speed up storage technology growth and allow more investor certainty.   Despite headwinds, the value of BESS is undeniable, especially given changes to the world’s generation mix — new IEA data shows renewable electricity supply climbed to 30% in 2023 and is projected to reach 35% by 2025. At Enel, we aim to help lead the industry as BESS becomes a major component of the energy sector.    Read the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eJ4WrwUz   #EnergyStorage #BESS

🔥 Summer is in full swing and at a record-hot pace in over 30 U.S. cities. That means the grid is under serious pressure to keep Americans cool. Grid operators cannot rely only on expensive peaking power plants to meet increasing energy demand. There is a cleaner, more cost-effective: solution: demand response. Here are some proven examples of how demand response is playing its part in keeping the grid stable during the heatwaves 👇

Texas is heating up, and so is the demand for reliable energy. How do Enel's Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) support ERCOT during the summer? 🔋BESS stores and shifts energy to critical, flexible capacity when most needed. 🔋BESS provides fast-response services (in seconds) to balance demand and supply rapidly. 🔋BESS projects support a low-cost, clean, resilient grid for homes and businesses. With 9 utility-scale projects totaling 1.3 GW capacity and 5 more on the way, Enel's batteries provide critical grid services to keep the Texas grid stable. Look at some of our BESS projects that make possible a reliable energy summer in the Lone Star state 👇

Join us on July 30 at 1:00 PM EST for a live webinar with Peter Holzaepfel and Robert Kraynak from Enel North America. They'll be breaking down the results of MISO's 2024 Planning Resource Auction (PRA) and what they mean for your organization. Learn about the outcomes of the PRA for 2024/2025, our projections for next year, and strategic steps your organization can take to navigate this dynamic market.

It's #WorldEmojiDay, but we still have to use this emoji 💨 for wind energy or this one ☀️ for solar panels. #Unicode - would it be possible to add more clean energy emojis, like the ones below? Let's make it easy for people to chat about renewables, the grid, and sustainability!

🏆Sun-sational news. Enel’s Aurora solar farm won "Best Solar Ecosystem" in the first edition of the North American Agrivoltaics Awards. The Atwater and Eastwood solar sites, part of our Aurora distributed solar farm in Minnesota, were recognized for successfully integrating native plant restoration, tripling insect abundance, and triggering a 20x increase in native bee populations. 🐝 Thank you to our team and long-time partners MNL, Argonne National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Together, we've demonstrated that combining solar power with ecosystem services is possible. For more: http://ms.spr.ly/6047lzLGD

🔋Everything is bigger in Texas – including battery power. Enel is proud to be the top Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) player in ERCOT, with 9 utility-scale projects totaling 1.3 GW capacity ready to support the grid. ERCOT faces major challenges: demand is going up, extreme weather is worsening, and the energy mix is evolving. With flexible capacity and fast-response ancillary services, Enel’s batteries are helping stabilize the grid when demand spikes. And we’re not slowing down. We're currently building 5 new BESS projects, bringing our total capacity to 1.5 GW. This solidifies our leadership in Texas - an energy market that is a global leader in BESS adoption.
