The UK’s over-reliance on the electricity grid, vividly exposed by recent extreme weather events, highlights the need for alternative energy sources such as solar.
Caldera Heat Batteries has secured a £470,000 grant from the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to rollout their innovative Warmstone heat batteries to twelve pilot off-grid and hard-to-heat homes across the south of England.
Why does investing in energy storage at the same time as renewable products such as solar or air source heat pumps hold the key to net zero emissions? Carlton Cummins, co-founder and chief technical officer at clean technology firm Aceleron explains the benefits.
AceOn, a West Midlands renewable energy and battery company, is demonstrating its own commitment to helping the environment with a £20,000 investment in solar panels
Launched in 2018, Gresham House Energy Storage Fund plc (GRID) is one of only two publicly listed funds devoted to investing in utility-scale operational battery energy storage systems (BESS).
rces with Wynnstay as their recommended partner for renewable energy advice and installations for their agricultural customers across England and Wales.
Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO of myenergi, discusses the results of a recent national survey and explains why drivers are still reluctant to embrace an electric future.
The latest investment in decarbonisation from Solarwatt includes a state-of-the-art solar module production line and the inauguration of two new energy storage production lines
The TechX Clean Energy Accelerator supports companies developing innovative, transformative technologies that can accelerate the transition to a net zero energy industry. The Centre particularly seeks to support start-ups with diverse founder teams. Technology focus areas for the accelerator include renewable energy technologies, green and blue hydrogen and other clean fuels, carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), digitalisation and technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas industry.
The partnership will provide Good Energy’s domestic customers with the opportunity to generate and store their own renewable electricity at home and save money by integrating green technology with a trusted installer.
The firm received significant backing in a two-week public vote which decided the final five finalists for the Manufacturing Innovator of the Year award in the 2021 Innovation Awards.
The firm — whose national reputation for its expertise has led to it being dubbed the Telford company taking on Tesla — has been shortlisted for the Manufacturing Innovator of the Year award in the 2021 Innovation Awards.
Over the next decade, electricity energy storage systems will play a key role in creating a ‘smart’ energy grid which is more efficient, flexible and can cope with the complexities of a low-carbon society.
Over the coming months I would like to discuss some interesting topics including the growing mix of technologies, methods and ideas, all contributing towards our ‘Zero-Carbon’ aspirations, and not least, the important role renewable energy installers, play in achieving these goals.
The report ‘Longer-Duration Energy Storage: The missing piece to a Net Zero, reliable and low-cost energy future’ estimates that the UK will need at least 30GW of longer-duration energy storage by 2050. However, the report concludes that this target is currently undeliverable based on the present market and regulatory framework.
We stand at the edge of transformation in our energy system and this investment will support that change. Just as the communications industry has been transformed within a generation, from the first land lines at a household level to mobile phones and internet for all in a lifetime, we will see the same degree of transformation to our energy industry. From Altelium’s success in renewable energy and applied battery data – itself the result of an Innovate UK grant win – we know that practical solutions can be developed quickly with the right support. Lithium-ion battery storage though BESS is already working effectively and efficiently, and will transform local community and small-scale commercial energy creation, storage and application. Hydrogen technology coupled with wind and wave energy has the capacity to deliver change on a national scale, with the potential it offers to store energy for longer periods of time or transport it across greater distances. We welcome this investment and the focus it gives on areas where the opportunity for change and benefit for the good of all is greatest.
Developed in partnership with EV Comply, the step-by-step solution takes the customer through the OZEV grants application process* and connects them to their closest myenergi-approved independent. While saving time and money for the consumer, installers benefit from sales leads direct to their inbox.
The well-known issue with many renewable technologies is inconsistency in supply. Whilst the UK might have pledged to create 40 GW of installed offshore capacity by 2030, the supply is very dependent on it being windy. On days when it isn’t, we must fall back on stored electricity.
