Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has confirmed that its “self-restore” technology project in central southern England has been installed to over 65% of earmarked network sites.
“When we look at the forecast from now to 2050, we're looking at a doubling of electrical demand from a few hundred-terawatt hours to over 600TWh,” said Barry Hurst, head of business development at Enel X.
SSE Energy Solutions has announced a £30.5 million (€35 million) partnership with SSE Airtricity that aims to develop an electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Ireland.
Research by the Northern and Western Regional Assembly (NWRA) has shown that the number of publicly available electric vehicle (EV) charge points in rural Irish counties is “notably low”.
With Ireland forecasted to reach its 80% renewable target by 2030, Cornwall Insight has confirmed that the increase in renewable technologies and generation will help lower winter energy prices below the pre-2021 historical average from 2027 onwards.
Construction has started on a project in Ireland pairing a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a synchronous condenser, developed by Lumcloon Energy and Hanwha Energy.
ESB Energy and dCarbonX have signed a joint venture agreement aiming to integrate large-scale energy storage projects off the coast of Ireland which could include green hydrogen utilisation.
Ireland’s renewable sector has seen significant growth in previous years and now energy customers are set to receive €89.10 (£76.53) as part of renewable energy generators payback money, says Cornwall Insight.
