#Utility incumbents must thoughtfully recognize advancements in the renewable energy sector, particularly in #SolarPV and #BatteryStorage. They should adapt their business models to facilitate the co-existence with distributed generation, ultimately securing a more substantial role in energy generation. As Energy Efficiency and Storage Technologies, like #Tesla's #Powerwall Battery, continue to improve, customers may increasingly depend on their home PV units, potentially reducing reliance on the grid over time. If you'd like more information, you can refer to the 2015 announcement on Powerwall. #eDisrupt #Tesla #Energy #Utilities #Innovation

In 5-7 years, the marginal fuel cost in a fossil fuel plant—coal, gas, oil—might be much higher than the renewable energy available to the grid when most countries adopt some form of bidirectional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) software solution. This is a small start, but it could be the “killer application” for the energy transition, as fossil fuel-based power plants won’t be able to compete with zero marginal cost solar entering the grid at night! The case for daytime is evident in South Australia or California when the grid is flooded with excess rooftop solar power. Your thoughts? From the article, "Our customers will be able to directly compete with big coal and gas generators just by smart charging and discharging their EV battery. This innovation not only strengthens our energy infrastructure but also aligns with a commitment to a sustainable future." "Australian-headquartered energy retailer and tech company Amber Electric has received a $3.2 million (USD 2.3 million) grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) toward their $7.7 million electric vehicle (EV) smart charging and bi-directional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) software solution trial." "Amber will put an additional $4.5 million into the project to show at scale that pairing EVs directly with the wholesale electricity market can incentivise people to use their cars to buy and sell energy at times beneficial for the grid." https://lnkd.in/gVPCK7dv #shasnie #v2g #energytransition

5 whys for Dynamic pricing strategy. explained by partners at Simon-Kucher with EV charging case study. What is dynamic pricing? Dynamic pricing means that prices for services like charging EVs aren’t fixed, but instead fluctuate influenced by factors like the time of day, available grid capacity or the proportion of renewable energy in the mix. https://lnkd.in/gEXvDKER Do reach out if you are a B2C challenger brand and reviewing your pricing strategy at <[email protected]> for a quick discovery.

SightGlass News: #Toyota repurposing used #EV #batteries into grid-scale renewable energy storage: #Toyota has partnered with the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to create a cutting-edge electric storage system that utilises recycled electric vehicle #batteries. Energy stored in these batteries will come from renewable sources and be used during times when wind-generated power isn’t enough to meet grid requirements. The new electric storage system will have an … Continue reading Toyota repurposing used #EV batteries into grid-scale renewable energy storage

When Hyundai Motor Group announced two years ago it would build a massive new electric vehicle “Metaplant” near the Georgia coast, the company committed to operate using 100% renewable energy from the start of mass production, expected later this year. On Earth Day this year, Hyundai and key suppliers announced a huge power purchasing agreement, saying it would buy enough solar power to “support sustainable manufacturing” at the Metaplant and other U.S. factories. But the solar Hyundai is buying is in Texas, not Georgia, and the Metaplant will actually get its juice from Georgia Power. Here’s why: https://lnkd.in/eQj3BTKT

Google Asks Large Suppliers to Commit to 100% Renewable Energy as Emissions Continue to Rise Google announced that it has implemented a new program, Google Renewable Energy Addendum, asking its largest hardware manufacturing suppliers to commit to achieving a 100% renewable energy match by 2029, marking one of the company’s initiatives to address its carbon footprint, which continues to increase, driven by its value chain and data center growth. Scope 3, or value chain emissions, account for the bulk of the company’s carbon footprint, representing 75% of total emissions, and Scope 2, primarily consisting of purchased electricity, represents 24%. What action are you taking to minimise your Scope 2 and 3 emissions? #esg #sustainability #renewables #renewableenergy
