  Global energy storage set to triple in 2021

  • 07 10月 2021

  New research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq: VRSK), shows annual global storage deployments will nearly triple year-on-year, reaching 12 GW/28 GWh in 2021. Across the world, economic recovery is top of mind for politicians, with renewable energy integration taking centre stage. Despite disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic, Wood Mackenzie’s Global Energy Storage Outlook, released today, forecasts nearly 1 TWh of total demand from 2021-2030.

  Wood Mackenzie Focus:US Market Opportunity for Flex Services and Impacts of FERC 2222

  • 28 10月 2021

  WoodMac estimates by 2025, DER capacity added since 2016 will be comparable to renewables on the bulk generation side. Passed in 2020, FERC Order 2222 will enable DERs to participate alongside traditional resources in the regional organized wholesale markets through aggregation. This mandate is creating the conditions for DERs to create additional revenue streams in wholesale markets and consequently improve the economics for distributed generation and energy storage. But how can DER aggregation and orchestration technologies like virtual power plants (VPPs) help build DER business models? And what are the ways in which this value stacking opportunity can be broken down? Wood Mackenzie’s Global Head of Grid Edge Ben Hertz-Shargel will join IBM and some of the leading utilities and distributed generation companies in the United States to examine the different impacts of FERC 2222, shedding light on these fundamental questions: • What is the expected size of the DER in America? How will FERC 2222 affect the DER business models? And what are the key unknowns? • What is the market today for storage-based virtual power plants? And how will it evolve in a FERC 2222-impacted world? • How will EVs affect bulk power and distribution systems?

  Europe emerges as global LNG price-setter

  • 27 5月 2021

  Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets were set to tighten over the next five years, driven by a slowdown in global LNG supply growth. But Europe’s market dynamics are turbo-charging the price recovery, with TTF currently trading close to US$9 per million British thermal units (/mmbtu), a level not seen since mid-2018. Following the recent winter spot price spike in Asia, the European market has been sustaining global LNG prices, making the region a battleground for global LNG price formation, new research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie found.
