With #FlexAlert s every day, how soon will we see FlexAlert fatigue? Demand response would be better if all automated (e.g. smart thermostat, fridges, EV charging etc)

[California ISO @CaliforniaISO]

The @California_ISO issued a statewide #FlexAlert, for today, Sept. 9, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., due to a prolonged heat wave pushing up energy demand and tightening available power supplies. Read the news release: https://t.co/I1mEva30oV

Energy Emergency Alert 3 declared in California just now. This demonstrates how important it is to get Resource Adequacy planning right.

[California ISO @CaliforniaISO]

#ISO declares an Energy Emergency Alert (EEA) 3. We have not called for rotating power outages yet. Read the news release: https://t.co/8Da4NXBBCS

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

CA is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave. This will be the hottest & longest on record for September.

Our energy grid is being pushed to its max. The risk of outages is real.

We need everyone to double down to save energy after 4pm today.

This week, California lawmakers agreed to extend the operations of Diablo Canyon, a 2,256MW #nuclearpower plant, by five years through to 2030.

@AuroraER_Oxford 's modelling suggests extending the plant’s life leads to savings of $0.9bn and reduces carbon emissions by 23MMTCO2.

UK Hydrogen Strategy from @beisgovuk out today. Glad to see both "blue" and "green" #hydrogen being explored as viable options to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors for #NetZero future

I had a great conversation with Mark Futyan, CEO of @AnescoLtd, on how the UK can reach #NetZero carbon emissions and the important role played by #solarpower and #EnergyStorage. You can listen in on the latest episode of @AuroraER_Oxford's Energy Unplugged podcast

[Aurora Energy Research @AuroraER_Oxford]

In our latest #EnergyUnplugged #podcast, Mark Futyan, CEO @AnescoLtd joins our @FelixChowK to discuss:
*Anesco’s role in #energytransition & potential growth areas
*UK #NetZero commitment
*Investment opportunities & potential of #hydrogen

Our @AuroraER_Oxford report on the impact of interconnectors on decarbonisation was cited in the Energy White Paper to support the Government's work "to realise at least 18GW of interconnector capacity by 2030" #netzero #renewableenergy #interconnectors

https://t.co/hD70GxIBD0

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

Great to see the long-anticipated Energy White Paper finally out. At first glance, this seems like a reassertion of the commitments made already in last month's Ten Point Plan

Great analysis from our team at @AuroraER_Oxford on yesterday's UK Government announcement of the Green Industrial Revolution. We estimate the Ten Point Plan could reduce UK emissions by 5% for 2023-2032 compared with existing policies. #NetZero #renewableenergy #hydrogenenergy

[Aurora Energy Research @AuroraER_Oxford]

Here's our latest report, presenting our analysis of @BorisJohnson's recently-announced #tenpointplan for a #greenindustrialrevolution, as well as our views on implications for the future #GBpower system.

Key insights include ⬇⬇⬇

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

The reaffirmed #offshorewind target of "40GW by 2030" is ambitious. It would require approx. 30GW of offshore wind to be commissioned during the 2020s. A major increase for #renewableenergy in the UK

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

The long-awaited plan for the UK's "Green Industrial Revolution" is out. This 10-point plan sets out the UK's path towards #NetZero. #renewables #offshorewind #hydrogen #ElectricVehicles
https://t.co/9q26fprOFs

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

The target of "5GW of low carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030" is a big push for the #hydrogen sector. This would set up the UK as one of the global leaders in the use of low carbon hydrogen to decarbonize energy

[Richard Howard @UKenergywonk]

On the 40GW offshore wind target in the 10 point plan: great to see big ambition but this is challenging to achieve in practice. It means installing one turbine every weekday in the 2020s and £50bn investment. See previous @AuroraER_Oxford commentary https://t.co/DIwnXtZ16W

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

Our energy modeling from earlier this year for the @NatInfraCom supported recommendations to pursue a high #RenewableEnergy mix with support for one more nuclear plant before 2025

[Felix Chow-Kambitsch, PhD @FelixChowK]

It's decision time for the next generation of nuclear plants in the UK. This is a hugely consequential decision for the future of the UK's electricity sector in the transition to #NetZero
