A British initiative is looking to dismiss the argument that renewables could topple the grid — by using distributed energy resources for a black start. ’s Electricity Network Innovation Competition, an annual funding scheme, secured in 2018. If successful, the U.K. million ($13.5 million) in backing from the U.K.’s

AES will source the energy needed from a portfolio of wind, solar, hydro and battery storage which will be developed or contracted by the utility. The utility will ensure the energy powering those data centers will be 90% carbon-free when measured on an hourly basis. Under the agreement AES will start supply later this year.

Batteries get hyped, but pumped hydro provides the vast majority of long-term energy storage essential for renewable power. Wind and solar power vary over the course of a day, so energy storage is essential to provide a continuous flow of electricity. To rely more on wind and solar power, the U.S. Genex Power.

Hailed as the greatest invention of the 20th century , our now-aging grid was based on fundamental concepts that made sense at the time it was developed. The original foundation was a combination of “base load” coal plants that operated 24 hours a day and large-scale hydropower. Innovations that make 100% clean power possible.

The region’s power grid — part of a larger Western grid — is too weak and fractured to reliably integrate the massive increase in renewable energy needed to decarbonize. Ensuring a cleaner and reliable grid. Meanwhile, shifting patterns of precipitation threaten carbon-free hydropower supplies across the region.
