Balancing offshore wind farm construction between the east and west coasts of the UK would strengthen the consistency of energy supply and help reduce reliance on balancing actions using fossil-fuelled dispatchable generation, said Regen in a new report.
Infra Balance New Energy (IBNE) and IONATE have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on combining flexible assets with a visibility and power-flow control technology.
According to new analysis by Carbon Brief, in Q3 this year the UK’s windfarms, solar panels, biomass and hydro plants generated 29.5 terawatt hours (TWh) of power, while coal, gas and oil generated just 29.1TWh.
