Gas grid decarbonisation needed, report argues

Gas, Heat, News, Power, Technology Operations /

The report ‘Pressure in the pipeline: decarbonising the UK’s gas‘ argues that deeper decarbonisation of UK gas is essential if the country is to meet its current and likely future emissions reduction target. The report assesses how to decarbonise gas in the UK by increasing the supply of low carbon gases and by reducing demand for gas in the heat sector. It calls for new government investment and incentives for decarbonisation to be an urgent priority in Ofgem’s next price control framework for gas from April 2021.

Feedback invited on electricity innovation strategy

News, Technology Operations /

Independent research carried out by Pöyry has shown that innovation projects by local electricity distribution network operators (DNOs) could deliver up to £1.7bn of benefits by 2031. These projects and services could deliver major savings to bill payers in the years ahead by ensuring that networks evolve to new demands in the most cost-efficient way possible.

ENA says simplicity is key to unlocking potential of flexibility

Customers, News, Power, Technology Operations /

The call comes as the ENA Open Networks Project launches its latest consultation on flexibility services, which will look at how energy network operators across the country can help Britain’s homes, businesses and communities realise the benefits of a smarter, more flexible energy system. That system could help the UK save up to £8bn a year by 2030, National Infrastructure Commission research shows – all whilst helping power it towards its 2050 Net Zero carbon emissions target.
