OEB looks to improve renewable connections to the grid

The Ontario Energy Board (the Board) issued a Notice of Proposal to Amend the Distribution System Code (DSC) to ensure viable generation projects, particularly renewable generation projects, are connected to the distribution system in a timely manner.

The Board believes it is important to move forward with these proposed code changes at this time to address the current backlog of generation projects waiting to connect to the distribution grid and to establish clear rules related to capacity allocation for distribution connected generation.

The Board is confident the proposed amendments are consistent with the Green Energy and Economy Act, 2009 (GEA), but recognizes further amendments may be required in the future as the role of renewable generation in Ontario evolves.

Project examines potential for Europe's power grid to increase HVDC Technology

PARIS - A partnership of 14 leading European energy industry companies, research organizations and universities has launched a new project to identify opportunities to increase integration of HVDC technology into the European transmission system.

The HVDC-WISE project, in which the University of Strathclyde is the UK’s only academic partner, is supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.

The project’s goal is to develop a toolkit for grid developers to evaluate the grid’s performance under extreme conditions and to plan systems to realise the full range of potential benefits from deep integration of HVDC technology into the European transmission system.
