Knapton H2 Storage consortium gets funding for hydrogen storage study

Milford Haven is leading a groundbreaking initiative in the Celtic Sea: the development of the first floating #hydrogenproduction facility. The Milford Haven: Hydrogen Kingdom (MH:HK) project will combine offshore wind and electrolysis to produce #renewablehydrogen, showcasing how innovation can accelerate the energy transition. Led by Celtic Sea Power, Dolphyn Hydrogen, ORE Catapult, and Wales & West Utilities, this collaborative effort aims to drive regional development and sustainable growth.

Exploring the Future of Clean Energy in North Yorkshire 🔬 🌍 The Knapton H2 Storage consortium has secured ‘discovery’ funding from Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) to explore the potential for underground hydrogen storage near the Knapton power plant. Led by Northern Gas Networks, and partnered with Centrica Energy Storage +, British Geological Survey (BGS), Third Energy Onshore and the The University of Edinburgh, this study will assess the region’s geological suitability for large-scale hydrogen storage. This is a critical step in decarbonising gas-fired peaking plants and strengthening the UK’s energy resilience.

🏁 Excited to kick off Day 1 of the Alverta Power Symposium! 🔌 Today’s sessions are packed with timely discussions as Alberta accelerates its transition to a cleaner, smarter electricity #grid. 📌 Key session themes for Day 1: • The unfolding market transformation via the Alberta Electricity System Operator (Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) Restructured Energy Market (REM) initiative. • The energy demands of #AI / #datacentres in Alberta — balancing growth, emissions and grid constraints. • Indigenous-led energy: ownership, community value and opportunities in Alberta. • Energy storage fundamentals: why it matters now, and how Alberta’s evolving market enables it. • Corporate strategies and financing clean energy projects: how to structure deals, include Indigenous partners and scale across Canada. • Regulatory certainty and market design for renewables: ensuring investors and developers feel confident. • Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and their role as a low-carbon alternative for base-load power. Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues, hearing new ideas and forging partnerships for impact.

Not speaking directly about grid-forming this week… but very much about its application at the Wind and Solar Integration Workshop in Berlin. Delighted to present on Decarbonising System Restoration — exploring how Offshore Wind and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can support black start and restoration in Scotland’s future low-carbon grid. This work brings together insights from SIF BLADE project in collaboration with SP Energy Networks, University of Strathclyde, tackling the real-world challenges of restoring power with renewables. Grateful to collaborate with: Eleni Tsotsopoulou, Vasileios Psaras, Abdullah Emhemed, Agustí Egea Alvarezí, Daniel Barlow, Karabo Mmokwa Pr. Eng, CEng (UK), MIET. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in grid resilience and restoration. #GridForming #SystemRestoration #OffshoreWind #BESS #EnergyTransition #BlackStart #Scotland #SPEN #Strathclyde #WSP #Decarbonisation #PowerSystems

This is the latest post from our CEO Ben Power about what can mines teach us about community power. At first glance, not much. Mines and northern communities couldn’t be more different. One is private and profit-driven, the other public and people-driven. But when it comes to building reliable renewable power in remote regions, mines consistently do what communities often struggle to: ✅ Get projects financed ✅ Build them fast ✅ Keep them operating efficiently Over the past decade, Solvest has designed renewable microgrids for both mines and communities across the North. And what we’ve learned is this: the lessons from mines could completely reshape how communities approach energy; unlocking hundreds of viable projects that currently sit on the shelf waiting for funding. Click through the slides to see what mines can teach us about: ⚡ Access to capital ⚡ Scale ⚡ Speed ⚡ The real value of batteries ⚡ Smarter project design If governments, utilities, and communities applied these lessons, we could transform the North’s energy future, from one dependent on funding to one empowered by investment.

Can the UK build the infrastructure to match its hydrogen ambitions? 💭🔧 In part two of his analysis, E-FWD editor Ed Reed looks at the practical challenges of connecting production and demand, from Scotland’s stalled projects to the need for transport and storage networks. Featuring insight from EnergyPathways plc, Veri Energy, Arup, Centrica, and Aurora Energy Research.
