Monika Rathi, Head of India at Vena Energy, will be speaking at the 13th Annual Conference on Wind Power in India this week. Joined by industry leaders in the wind power sector, Monika will present on wind-solar hybrid projects and the valuable lessons learnt from our pioneering work in this space through the commissioning of Gudadur project near Gadag, Karnataka.  With India having tapped barely 7% of its available onshore wind potential and requiring roughly 100 GW of new wind capacity to meet the government's 500 GW non-fossil fuel target by 2030, hybrid solutions are more critical than ever. As one of the leading developers in the hybrid space, be sure to catch Monika as she shares her experiences and insights with the wider industry to help accelerate India's transition to clean energy.

We’ve announced the updated timeline for overhauling Great Britain's electricity grid connections process. This plan will fast-track shovel-ready clean energy projects, prioritising those projects that are essential for the 2030 Clean Power target, and will provide certainty to investors, unlocking an estimated annual £40 billion in economic growth and thousands of high-skilled jobs. Developed in close collaboration with Government, Ofgem, and network companies, this roadmap provides delivery dates for developers, reducing project risk and enabling customers and investors to plan with confidence for a reliable, low-carbon grid.

Aukera Energy has secured planning consent for the East York Energy Hub, a 249.9 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) near Osbaldwick, York, UK. “Securing planning consent for this project is a huge milestone for us and for York’s clean energy future,” said Bernadette Barley, Head of Development, UK, at Aukera Energy. “Pressure on the grid is at an all-time high, so being able to alleviate some of that with projects like the East York Energy Hub is critical for the UK’s decarbonisation efforts.” The East York Energy Hub has been designed for a 40-year operational life and will support City of York Council achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2035. The East York Energy Hub is part of Aukera’s expanding UK portfolio, which currently includes 250 MW under construction and a further 250 MW of solar and storage projects in pre-construction. https://lnkd.in/gzaJW54x #cleanenergy

The UK Government has set a target to deliver 8GW of locally and community-owned power by 2030, through Great British Energy’s Local Power Plan. Community energy has significant potential to support the transition to net zero, while delivering social, economic, and environmental benefits to local communities. Our latest report draws on insights from our experience delivering community energy support programmes across the devolved nations, alongside engagement with leading organisations in the sector. It outlines the key outcomes we believe the Local Power Plan must achieve to empower a thriving and diverse community energy sector. Swipe to read our key recommendations.

Exploring the Future of Clean Energy in North Yorkshire 🔬 🌍 The Knapton H2 Storage consortium has secured ‘discovery’ funding from Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to explore the potential for underground hydrogen storage near the Knapton power plant. Led by Northern Gas Networks, and partnered with Centrica Energy Storage +, British Geological Survey (BGS), Third Energy Onshore and the The University of Edinburgh, this study will assess the region’s geological suitability for large-scale hydrogen storage. This is a critical step in decarbonising gas-fired peaking plants and strengthening the UK’s energy resilience. Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHtCP6pG
