Case Study

In this study we examine the impact of integrating a fleet of Enoda PRIME® Exchangers (“Prime Exchangers”) coordinated by Enoda ENSEMBLE™ into the Texas grid through the Business As Usual (“BAU”) case.

BAU operation of around 25,000 400kVA Prime Exchangers can allow for reduction of up to 3,855.8 tonnes of CO2 in the Regulation-Up market (“RegUp”) on June 21st, 2023. This fleet of 25,000 devices would have been sufficient on this day to completely saturate the regulation up market.
Such a fleet would have reduced carbon emissions of just one of the frequency and ancillary services, RegUp, by 54%, and would also enable Texans to benefit from Enoda’s ability to provide these services at lowest marginal cost.

McKinsey’s Green Business Building Conference

Forthcoming McKinsey research shows that while 90% of emissions reductions required for net zero are possible with existing technologies, only 20% of that abatement is from technologies that are commercially mature. The conference was filled with examples that demonstrate this innovation happening.

The Future of Distributed Flexibility

This year, Ofgem released a Call for Input (CfI) on the Future of Distributed Flexibility. Ofgem begins by introducing some of the issues which are resulting in a lower uptake of distributed flexibility on the electricity system than there ought to be.

EU Market Design: setting the direction for Europe's electricity decarbonisation

Since the energy price spikes and volatility in electricity markets last year, precipitated by rising wholesale gas prices, the EU Commission has looked to a reform of market design as a systematic answer to the impact of these prices on Europeans.

Energy regulators seem to expect Christmas all year

Across the world, the public have been promised that they will be able to benefit from the falling price of renewable energy, but they have been misled. Regulators and politicians acted with the best possible motives as they sought to provide cheap and green energy, but many people failed to understand the true underlying dynamics of a system dominated by renewable energy. In moving from a system where supply could easily adjust to follow demand to one where supply would be driven by the weather, policymakers appear not to have properly accounted for the value of the stability services provided by thermal generation, nor the cost of provisioning stability for a system based on renewables.
