In a market driven by monopolies public utility providers are a foothold for responsibility and sustainable infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/eU4U-t9A

🚗🔋 Great things happening in Lawrence County! In a recent guest column Ryan Egly, President and CEO of the Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, discussed how Lawrence County’s economy is getting stronger and more resilient thanks to investments in clean energy technology, including electric vehicles. "The benefits of investing in clean energy and related technologies like EV production and manufacturing go beyond direct job creation and the economic opportunities that our communities will experience as a result. Growing our clean energy sector and workforce will help support a range of local businesses and industries, including businesses operating in the retail, hospitality, and service sectors."

The concept of beneficial electrification is not new, but the current emphasis on the environment and lower energy costs helps it grow in popularity with each passing day. Learn more about beneficial electrification in this month's Indiana Connection magazine at https://buff.ly/45R96E4.

MENENS – Holistic grid design optimization of methanol-powered shipping A maritime consortium dedicated to 'methanol as an energy step toward zero-emission', is prioritizing comprehensive research on full DC grid development. Focusing on a yacht use case, the implementation of a decentralized DC propulsion switchboard promises significant reductions in weight and energy loss. Incorporating a secondary DC grid is equally essential for maximizing efficiency, volume and weight.

Good experience today being at Polyteknisk Forening and debating the accessibility of new industrial power⚡️ connections in Norway 🇳🇴. “Køordningen” (“The waiting list arrangement”) is an important framework that should support fair and efficient access to power. With booming demand for green power the time, predictability and fairness of the waiting list arrangement has become pivotal and heavily debated. My ideas to speed things up 💫 💡Encourage RIGHT LOCATION of industrial establishments - make sure power intensive industries are located so that new grid investments can be kept at a minimum. Saving both money and time. 💡 Use technology and conditional grid access («På Vilkår») to significantly INCREASE UTILIZATION of the grid that is already there. A good example is to let data centers use installed backup power to fuel the grid on the most congested peaks, typically during the coldest winter days. More value creation for less cost. 💡Strive to do more PARALLEL TASKING when processing grid connection applications and related concessions. With a more risk based approach, could engineering and assessments be done in parallel rather than sequence? Faster and more predictable timing. 🙏 BIG thanks to all the hard working and capable industry colleagues that work in NVE, Statnett SF, Elvia, Glitre Nett and all other Norwegian grid companies to manage such a critical mission on behalf of our society every single day. It’s not your fault that things take (too much) time, rather we are wholeheartedly grateful for all your initiatives to improve our system for common good 🤗 🙏Thanks to Alis Helene Tefre for brilliant facilitation, to Torfinn Stulen Jonassen (NVE) for insightful introduction, and to my fellow panelists Sverre Gotaas (Herøya Industripark AS), Christine Kaaløy (Renewables Norway) and Stein Øvstebø (Norsk Hydro) for good debate and reflections.

Acadia National Park is going electric, and we’re here to help. ⚡ This fall, Acadia deployed two battery-electric buses in its Island Explorer fleet, which moves half a million people a year through the park and surrounding communities. (Their route even runs to the Bar Harbor-Hancock County Regional Airport.) We installed dataloggers on Acadia's conventional and electric buses to analyze their average speed, energy use, and range. Powered by FleetREDI, NREL’s new platform to deliver fast-turn commercial vehicle data analysis, we’ll be able to determine optimal battery sizes, charging locations, and any route changes that might be needed to support broader electrification of the fleet. We’re hopeful that we can demonstrate how many of the fleet buses can transition from propane to electric power.
