Reading, PA to Launch Solar Installations, Saving $300K Annually on Path to 100% Renewable Energy In fall 2024, Reading, Pennsylvania, will begin solar installations projected to save the city $300,000 annually on energy bills, marking the culmination of a long journey supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program. In 2019, Reading committed to transitioning the entire community to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2050. Over the past year, the city pursued its first Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) to install solar panels on municipal buildings—a funding model that allows public agencies to implement energy-saving projects without upfront costs, as long as energy savings cover the contract’s expenses.

Another milestone for Australia in the transition to a cleaner energy future! The great news from The Sydney Morning Herald, with renewables hitting a record-high contribution, confirms that the momentum toward renewable energy is undeniable. This peak, recorded last Tuesday - the highest ever according to the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) - underscores the critical role of large-scale storage projects in balancing intermittent renewable sources and securing a reliable energy future. Our proposed Western Sydney Pumped Hydro project will contribute to the grid's reliability by providing more 500,000 homes and businesses with on-demand renewable electricity by 2031.

To what extent will co-location drive the energy transition? This was the focus of the final panel discussion at the Financing Energy Transition conference in London this afternoon. The expert speakers were: 🌟 Tomás Loureiro, Head of Innovation Intel, EDP 🌟 Chris Griffin, CEO & Co-Founder, Hover Energy, LLC 🌟 Florian Hock, Senior Director, Origination Energy Europe, NORD/LB 🌟 Tim Heal, Global Strategy Director, Octopus Energy Group 🌟 Lamé Verre, Head of Strategy, Innovation & Sustainability, SSE plc Energy Customer Solutions (moderator) They started by discussing the importance of co-location as a way to build a resilient energy system and support the growth of renewable energy. Hock said co-location was valuable for making projects more bankable because it helps owners diversify their financial risks, while Griffin says the technology is already available for companies to achieve co-location. Griffin also explained that the benefit of co-location was on sites where the primary generation source is not obvious. While solar may be the obvious solution on a site in the desert, for example, there are plenty of sites where multiple generation technologies could all contribute at different times. “We try to follow the resource,” he said. This enables firms to provide the best solution for the sites they are seeking to develop, rather than promote one type of technology to the exclusion of something that might be more suitable. Loureiro added the benefit of co-location was that it increased the amount of potential use cases for clean energy generation, and helped developers to lower their risks. He gave an example of an EDP hydropower project where floating solar has been installed in the dam and linked to a battery storage system. He concluded by saying that co-location should help foster collaboration between different sectors and industries: “This type of collaboration towards a common goal is being enhanced, and what I’d like to see at a global scale is to see this type of collaboration between countries at a global level,” he said. And Heal talked about the potential to foster successful partnerships between the electricity generation and electric vehicle sectors. That brings an end to a fantastic day of industry debate and discussion. Now on to this evening’s Wind Investment Awards. #FinancingEnergyTransition | A Word About Wind | Energy Storage Report
