gigawatt natural gas power plant in the U.K. have been shelved by the developer Drax, highlighting the challenging economics of converting coal-fired power to a cleaner, but still fossil-fuel-fired, alternative. It would have been the largest gas plant in Europe and, unsurprisingly, drew the attention of environmental groups.
Now Porsche has partnered with German grid operator TransnetBW to conduct “a realistic pilot test” to demonstrate that “electrical balancing power can be stored in the high-voltage batteries of an intelligent swarm of electric cars.”. Advanced solutions for green charging and other vehicle-to-grid applications are also conceivable.”.
According to Bloomberg, January 2021 saw the latest in a series of near misses for the European powergrid, a sudden drop in frequency and narrowly avoided widespread power failure. It is possible to see a future where almost all of Europe’s electricity comes from climate-friendly energy sources. Software for stability.
With 2023 coming to a close, the impact of climate change and rapidly increasing electricity demand have illustrated the crucial importance of grid investment to ensure the grid is fit for purpose. Not investing in the grid is like accumulating cholesterol – you find out you are in bad shape.” Join Enlit Europe in Paris.
billion ($38.96) by 2026, more than half of this being funnelled into powergrid investments, the Group said more focus will be placed on profitability, flexibility and resiliency through selective capital allocation to maximize its risk/return profile.
