For the world to meet its growing need for low-cost clean energy and achieve ambitious decarbonization targets, land-based onshore wind energy must be an increasingly large part of the electricity generation mix—potentially as much as 20-41% by 2050, according to BloombergNEF and the International Energy Agency (IEA). But there is a challenge: the most efficient and cost-effective wind turbines, currently applied only in offshore wind farms, have enormous blades—some longer than a football field. That makes them extremely difficult, if not impossible, to deliver and deploy, as bridges, tunnels, and road curves literally get in the way.To explore how the onshore wind industry can overcome these obstacles and drive further growth for the sector, Gil Jenkins spoke with Mark Lundstrom, Founder and CEO of Radia. Mark is a serial cross-industry entrepreneur and MIT aerospace engineer who has co-founded companies over the course of his career that seek to bring aerospace solutions to new sectors, including biotech, telecommunications, and materials science. With Radia, Mark is focused on applying these technologies to the low-carbon energy transition. Radia is in the process of building the world's largest aircraft, which will enable the deployment of the industry's biggest and best wind turbines to locations they could never reach before—creating more clean power at a lower cost.Links:Radia WebsiteMark Lundstrom on LinkedInRadia on LinkedInPress Release:Radia to Provide Low-Cost Clean Energy with the World's Biggest Wind Turbines Enabled by the World's Largest Aircraft (March 17, 2024)Press Release: Aerospace Leaders Aernnova, Leonardo and AFuzion Will Partner With Radia to Build WindRunner™, World's Largest Aircraft (July 16, 2024)Whitepaper: DeSolve Study: GigaWind has enormous economic and environmental impact (Princeton University researchers Dr. Jesse Jenkins and Dr. Nestor Sepulveda - September 1, 2023)Episode recorded August 22, 2024  Email your feedback to Chad, Gil, and Hilary at climatepositive@hasi.com or tweet them to @ClimatePosiPod.

New MBIE data reveals New Zealanders will be using 80% more power than we do now by 2050.  It shows demand is expected to grow as fossil fuel use switches to electricity, electric vehicles increase, and new demand, such as data centres, come online.  MBIE market manager Mike Hayward told Mike Hosking he's confident we can rely more on electricity from renewable sources.  He says the last quarter showed a 51% increase in generation from solar.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Driven by the AI boom, data centers' energy demand could account for 9% of U.S. power generation by 2030, according to the Electric Power Research Institute. That's more than double current usage. So how do we meet that demand? And what impacts will it have on the grid and decarbonization? In this episode, Shayle talks to Brian Janous, former vice president of energy at Microsoft and current co-founder of Cloverleaf Infrastructure. Brian talks through the options for meeting data center demand, including shaping computational loads to avoid system peaks and deploying grid-enhancing technologies. He and Shayle also cover topics like: Why AI-driven demand will be big, even with “zombie requests” in the interconnection queue How hyperscalers are “coming to grips” with the reality that they may not hit decarbonization targets as quickly as planned Why Brian thinks efficiency improvement alone “isn't going to save us” from rising load growth Why Brian argues that taking data centers off-grid is not a solution  Options for shaping data center load, such as load shifting, microgrids, and behind-the-meter generation How hyperscalers could speed up interconnection by shaping computational loads Recommended Resources: Electric Power Research Institute: Powering Intelligence: Analyzing Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Energy Consumption The Carbon Copy: New demand is straining the grid.

The artificial intelligence boom is unexpectedly benefiting the utilities sector, driving up power demand and stock prices. The S&P 500 Utility Index has rallied over 10% this year, making it one of the top-performing sectors. Companies like Vistra and Constellation Energy have seen significant gains, with valuations remaining attractive as earnings keep pace. However, power capacity concerns and the need for infrastructure investment could impact the sector's growth. If addressed, utilities are expected to continue their strong performance, potentially boosted by declining interest rates. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

Transpower has asked households to conserve energy to avoid the possibility of power cuts - due to a potential electricity supply shortfall. Major Electricity Users' Group chair John Harbord spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Watch CFC Vice President Jan Ahlen for insights on data center growth and how artificial intelligence may drive significant power demand.

Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute. A new report says artificial intelligence could result in a 900% increase in power demand by Chicago area data centers. 25 data center projects, currently undergoing engineering studies, would consume 5 gigawatts of power. That would equal the output of five […]

Data centres centers used to have power demand measured in the tens of megawatts. Now they are in the hundreds of megawatts, and the new ones that are being proposed have demand in the thousands of megawatts: gigawatts. At Distributech in Feburary, Harry Sideris of Duke Energy said it used to be a big deal when they had a customer wanting to add 10MW or 20MW of load. Now they have several planned data centers for AI needing 1000MW each. How is this additional demand being met? According to Duke, with a lot more renewables, more gas, and eventually more nuclear. What does that mean for net zero goals? Despite the growth in renewable energy sources, the anticipated 25% increase in gas-fired generation over the next 15 years in the US raises concerns for achieving net zero, especially when compared to the expected triple-digit growth rates for onshore wind and utility-scale solar. On this episode of Wood Mackenzie's The Energy Gang, Ed Crooks is joined by Amy Myers-Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, who returns to the show to explore the feasible paths to net zero in light of increased energy demand. Also joining this week is Samantha Gross, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution. Together they debate the plans for demand management, and stocktake on global warming goals set at the Paris Agreement.Is it time to give up on the 1.5 degree target? The world looks like crossing the threshold set in 2015 at COP21 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, to mitigate and ultimately avoid catastrophic climate breakdown. John Kerry, who just stepped down as President Joe Biden's climate envoy, said recently that the world was on course for more like 2.5 degrees of warming. Many businesses still have alignment with a 1.5 degree scenario as part of their climate goals but we've just experienced a year of temperatures more than 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. And finally, the EV market is – contrary to popular opinion – doing just fine. In China, things are more than fine; prices are falling and sales are skyrocketing. Sales of what China calls “new energy vehicles” – that is, battery electrics, plug-in hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles – were up 37.5% in the first two months of 2024 compared with the same period of 2023. In that period – January and February of 2024 – those New Energy Vehicles took 33.5% of the car market. The prices are on the way down too. Reuters has calculated that BYD has cut the prices of its EVs by an average of 17%.

As President Biden's green industrial policies reignite the US manufacturing base, AI computing workloads soar, and machines across the economy turn electric, the power grid is facing an historic increase in demand. After almost two decades of flat electricity consumption, suddenly America's grid planners are doubling their forecasts for demand – raising the urgency for new infrastructure. This week, we'll ask: what's needed, and what happens if we can't build it? Then, some major changes in the world of tax finance. We'll look at how transferable tax credits are opening up new kinds of deals for clean energy – and take a deeper dive into the long-awaited and controversial details of hydrogen tax credits. Katherine Hamilton of 38 North and Shalini Ramanathan of Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners join us this week to sift through these trends.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Rob Gramlich, Founder and President of Grid Strategies. Rob previously oversaw transmission and power market policy for the American Wind Energy Association as SVP and Interim CEO, served as Economic Advisor to FERC Chairman Pat Wood III, and was Senior Economist at PJM Interconnection. Grid Strategies is a power consulting firm headquartered in Washington, D.C. that helps their clients advance grid integration solutions. Given the recent winter weather much of the US and Canada is experiencing, this was a particularly timely discussion and we were thrilled to hear Rob's insight on power demand growth, infrastructure buildout, cost, and reliability. Our discussion with Rob focused on a report Grid Strategies recently published titled “The Era of Flat Power Demand is Over” (linked here). Rob first shares background on the Grid Strategies team and the inspiration behind writing the report. We cover aspects from the report including the need for the power industry as well as legislators and regulators to acknowledge sharply increased demand forecasts and the need for action, factors contributing to increased power demand, including data centers and AI-driven technologies, the influential players in Washington contributing to shaping policies, regions with notable growth, reliability and resource adequacy, and the need for large-scale robust transmission planning. Rob shares his thoughts on regional differences in power markets and some of the unique market designs, concerns about supply and demand challenges and its effect on rising costs, changing dynamics in the power industry and the power “basketball team” lineup, global comparisons, behind-the-fence power generation, and more. Thank you, Rob, for sharing your insights with us all! We learned a lot. Power has undoubtedly become such an important issue and a topic to which we have dedicated several episodes. The most recent episodes include John Bear from MISO (linked here) and Jim Robb with NERC (linked here). Last year, we also visited with ERCOT (linked here). You may remember that in the ERCOT show, we called on our friends at Orennia to provide analytics around Texas power. For today's discussion, the team at Orennia provided additional data on summer and winter Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) for solar and wind and cumulative coal retirements up to 2040 (linked here). To kick us off, Mike Bradley highlighted recent key issues across the regulatory, commodity market and energy/electricity space. On the regulatory front, the U.S. Supreme Court will be hearing arguments this week relating to the historical Chevron Deference decision; a decision to reverse could have huge implications for highly regulated industries, like the energy industry, as power to regulate could shift away from Alphabet-Letter Agencies (like the EPA and others). On the commodity front, WTI oil price continues to be stuck in a bit of a trading range (low-$70s/bbl) given that Red Sea ship rerouting/growing Middle East conflict is getting countered by global crude oil S/D that looks modestly oversupplied in Q1'24 without additional OPEC+ production cuts. He noted that U.S natural gas prices have completely round-tripped this week (down $0.30-$0.35/MMBtu to

Coal Trading with Hayn Park Coal demand reached an all-time peak in 2022. Prices reached levels not seen for over a decade. China is permitting two new coal fired power plants a week and Germany is burning lignite to meet its power demand. Traders reaped huge rewards trying to connect a fragile, disrupted, supply chain. As the world strives for the energy transition, removing coal from our power mix is vital. Financiers and public companies have made firm commitments to this. This has pushed the coal supply chain into ever more private hands and into a more opaque and volatile arena. What is the coal market? What is its structure? How is it traded? And where is it headed. Our guest is Hayn Park, head of European energy trading at DRW and a veteran energy trader.

The Chinese saying, 摸着石头过河, translates roughly in English to “touching the stones to cross the river” and describes the need to embrace an often-indirect path to reach a known destination. The saying is relevant this autumn as planners look to the other side of a power shortage affecting more than two-thirds of China's provinces. IHS Markit's Jenny Yang and Lara Dong, both experts China gas and power markets, join EnergyCents this week to discuss what's led to the current shortage of electricity in China, and how we should expect the situation to evolve as planners prepare for a seasonal increase in demand.

In this episode of the PowerPulse podcast series, Kevin Ssemwogerere, Corporate Venturing Lead in Wholesale Clients Digital for the Standard Bank PowerPulse platform, joins Alec Hogg to provide more detail on how PowerPulse works. PowerPulse is a new digital platform introduced by Standard Bank that provides alternative energy solutions for large commercial clients by connecting them with appropriate power suppliers. Ssemwogerere delves into solar power as an advanced alternative energy solution and explains that while there is a great demand for and supply of power, the "necessary levers for the right participants in this industry to come together and exchange value have not been there". "The opportunity for us is to come in and be a facilitator of the exchange of value between the participants," he says. "So we've come up with a digital platform called PowerPulse, which brings together - through a matchmaking process - the entity that's looking for solar PV as an option for self-generation of electricity, but also the installer of solar. We sit in the middle of it as the facilitator that helps them to exchange value and ultimately, in a trusted environment, have solar installed, and everybody benefits through this exchange of value.

Scrubber's uptick in the marine sector amid a favorable Hi-5 spread along with demand for high sulfur fuel oil for power consumption in Asia is helping HSFO retain its sheen. In Singapore, the world's largest bunkering port, January-July HSFO sales jumped 33.7% on the year, while many other ports in Asia such as India and Sri Lanka are seeing a marked rise in HSFO inquiries. In the power sector, high global gas and LNG prices have incentivized switching of gas to oil, where applicable. S&P Global Platts' Dr. Kang Wu, head of global demand and Asia Analytics, and Rajesh Nair, managing editor for Asia residual fuels, discuss high sulfur fuels oils and their evolving role in the market with Surabhi Sahu, senior editor for petroleum news.
