Renewable energy solutions for Africa

September 27, 2017

Sub-Saharan African countries are rapidly attracting attention as new renewable energy markets. Thanks to the continent’s dynamic economic and population growth, its wealth in renewable energy resources, and falling technology costs, renewable energy investments can introduce widespread a¬ordable, reliable and sustainable energy access to the region. Over 600 million people still live without access to energy in Africa, representing a significant residential and productive market demand for a¬ordable, reliable and clean energy solutions. Advancing energy access in Africa is fundamental to accelerating sustainable economic development and can be achieved by the deployment of largescale and decentralized (o¬-grid) renewable energy solutions.

Energy System Efficiency: How to maximise the contribution of consumers to cost-effectively accelerate the clean energy transition

whitePaper | October 21, 2022

smartEn has engaged in an internal exercise to provide answers to these questions. We are convinced that a more efficient energy system is possible, with active consumers at its heart. Consumers must be enabled to contribute to an acceleration towards an efficient, secure and fully decarbonised energy system, instead of being the passive victims of a centralised and fossil-dependent energy system. This is possible if consumers of all types - from households to industrial players.

Our clean energy vision A fossil-free future for cleanly heating homes and businesses

whitePaper | April 3, 2022

At National Grid we believe achieving a fossil-free future and addressing climate change is not just a shared responsibility, but one where we must lead. We are undertaking a bold initiative that will set a new climate standard for energy companies across America. From today forward, we are working to enable a future where every time our customers use energy – to turn on their lights, charge their phones, cook for their families, or heat their homes and businesses – it can be done without fossil fuels

THE ROLE OF OIL AND GAS COMPANIES IN THE ENERGY TRANSITION

whitePaper | January 21, 2020

As the third decade of 21st century begins, the oil and gas industry faces opposition from a public greatly concerned with the environmental impact of fossil fuels, ever-more skeptical shareholders, and challenges from policy makers seeking to simultaneously meet decarbonization goals and expected oil and gas demand. Amidst a global energy transition, the demand, financial, and social future of oil and gas companies is increasingly in question.

Changing the current How utilities are removing barriers & energizing smart infrastructure

whitePaper | January 12, 2023

Decarbonization coupled with the rise of renewables and government mandates have put pressure on utilities to diversify their energy sources. As federal investments in renewable infrastructure increase and the dynamics in energy market policies change, utilities are poised to incorporate distributed energy resources (DERs) onto their grids like never before. The combination of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) orders 841 and 2222 and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standards 1547 (2018) and 2030 (2011) stand as powerful enablers to create smart infrastructure to better balance and manage the grid of the future.

Renewable Microgrids

whitePaper | December 8, 2021

Power outages are on the rise and grid resiliency is a growing concern. The number and intensity of severe weather events are increasing. Physical and cyber attacks are a growing threat. And aging grid infrastructure complicates system management. These metrics signal a need for grid infrastructure updates - and an exciting opportunity to rethink the grid and re-examine outdated concepts in power delivery that no longer serve the energy users of today.
