The Integrated Resource Plan released in August 2018 calls for a significant increase in renewable energy. To support the increase in intermittent resources, South Africa’s state-owned utility Eskom has unveiled its Distributed Battery Storage Program and environmental and social management framework study (ESMF), committing to solar-plus-storage and energy storage projects totaling 1,400MWh. The plan calls for storage in all nine provinces and has two phases of development and construction.

Regional economic impacts are a critical piece of the decision making process surrounding carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) implementation. Integration of carbon capture technologies with the existing coal fleet not only helps to ensure the longevity of an existing industry, jobs are created at the capture plant during the construction and operational periods. A significant number of jobs are created during the construction period, which results in additional job creation through indirect and induced effects.

The International Energy Agency has established that carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical component in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The cost to capture CO2 has often been cited as a major impediment to the deployment of CCS. However, costs vary considerably across different industrial sectors. Significant opportunities for CCS deployment can be found in lower-cost sectors. In addition, research and development efforts are underway to substantially drive down costs in all sectors.

A majority of power outages occur on electrical distribution systems, which affect a large swath of national economy and public health and wellbeing. Microgrids, due to their designed operations to enable continuous power delivery in the face of grid outages, have seen early adoption by local communities, commercial/industrial facilities, campuses and institutions, and utilities.

Please join USEA on International Women's Day for our Women In Energy Roundtable.
The panel will discuss challenges and opportunities for women working in energy, how to ascend into leadership roles, education and career paths, overcoming obstacles, and how to increase diversity and gender balance within organizations and board rooms.
