Your world of energy.

The minimum viable product (MVP) is a concept deeply ingrained into startup culture.

It’s a question anyone who’s deploying capital on DER, so assets like solar PV, battery storage, electric vehicle charging, hydrogen electrolysers etc, will be asking themselves.

Today, countries representing 78% of global GDP have pledged net-zero emissions by 2060.

Shifting the curve – analysing the effects of energy efficiency projects

It was the one year anniversary of Gridcognition this month and we had our inaugural week-long company-wide retreat. This time it was virtual but we’re hoping that our next one will be in-person.

Aussie energy tech startup Gridcogniton have closed a $675k pre-seed investment round this week with some of Australia’s leading tech and clean energy investors.

There’s a healthy debate underway in the energy sector around where battery energy storage assets should be located within electricity systems, in order to create the greatest possible value, both for their owners and for society more broadly.

EnergyLab’s Scaleup Program has delivered its first clean energy collaboration, with New Zealand-based energy utility Counties Power and energy data startup Gridcognition

Going toe-to-toe with the US election for media attention, this week saw the announcement of another huge battery storage project for Australia.

After days of counting, today it has become clear that Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States.

The transition to decarbonised and decentralised energy systems is occurring in lockstep with the growth in e-mobility.

For many organisations (like Google with their commitment to 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy) optimising the design and operation of their DER assets isn’t just about dollars and cents; the environmental return is just as important.

We simulated the same behind-the-meter commercial solar and battery project across the 14 distribution networks that make up the WEM and NEM

In September 2020, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order 2222, which removed barriers to the participation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in wholesale electricity markets for energy, capacity, and ancillary services.

On 1 October 2021 the National Electricity Market on Australia’s east coast will take the significant step of moving from 30-minute to 5-minute settlement.

Electric Vehicles are going to be a very big deal for energy systems right around the world.

In recent times contingency FCAS has become a very lucrative revenue stream for participants in the NEM able to offer services into the various contingency markets.

Today the Western Australian Wholesale Energy Market hit the price floor of -$1000/MWh for the first time on a weekday.

Yesterday, WA’s government announced a change to the regulated feed-in-tariff that’s offered to residential owners of solar PV.

Inspired by the lively discussion that resulted from Gavin Mooney‘s recent post on what direction to point roof-top solar systems, we crunched a few numbers to help inform the conversation.
