The Future of Electricity in the Energy System of the FutureLeonardo ENERGY
The document discusses four integrated visions for future energy systems and what they have in common. It focuses on the increasing role of electricity and renewables like wind and solar. Some key points are that a diversified, cost-effective, low environmental impact solution is needed that allows for rapid growth of renewables and increased electricity infrastructure like transmission lines. The future likely involves greater electrification of transport and buildings using electricity from various renewable sources.
The document summarizes a presentation by Kateri Callahan, President of the Alliance to Save Energy, about the potential for increased energy efficiency. The Alliance is a nonprofit organization that works with public and private sectors to promote energy efficiency. Callahan discusses how energy efficiency has quietly achieved success in reducing costs and emissions. New "game changers" like climate change, energy security concerns, and economic savings create opportunities for much greater efficiency gains. Leadership from companies like Walmart and utilities investing more in efficiency show the enormous untapped potential. Public policy support for efficiency standards, codes, and financing can help efficiency "roar" in the coming decade to address energy and climate challenges.
The document discusses the growing economics of solar energy. It argues that solar power will become the most economic solution for energy as its costs continue to decrease. Solar is well-suited to meet intermediate energy loads during daylight hours. Many homes already use solar panels connected to the electric grid. The shift to solar will likely happen in years rather than decades due to its improving financial viability.

Growth of distributed solar power is increasing to help meet the world's growing energy needs. By 2030, the world will need 15 terawatts (TW) of power but only 5 sources can provide energy on that scale, including solar. Solar has the advantage of being inherently distributed without fuel costs. Though solar currently provides a small portion of global demand, its competitiveness is growing as costs decline and policies promote its adoption. Companies are working to further reduce costs through technological advances and more efficient manufacturing processes and supply chains to drive solar toward grid parity globally.

Alliance President Kateri Callahan at the World Energy Engineering ConferenceAlliance To Save Energy
On October 1st Alliance President Kateri Callahan had the honor of delivering the keynote address at the World Energy Engineering Conference (WEEC) in Washington, DC. With the theme, “Visions for Sustainability and Climate Change”, the conference was attended by over 500 international energy industry professionals keen to learn more about carbon reduction and sustainable business practices. In my presentation, Callahan highlighted opportunities – many of them falling within the provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 – open to both the building and industrial sectors to lower carbon emissions in a cost-effective manner. Energy efficiency is integral to this process, and she shared with audience the myriad of ways that this – our quickest, cleanest and cheapest source of energy – can fuel the industrial and building sectors as they forge that path toward sustainability.
Global warming is increasing due to greenhouse gas emissions, while populations and economies are growing rapidly. This is creating pressures around energy, resources and climate change. To address these challenges, policies are being implemented to price carbon emissions, while markets and technologies are shifting towards increased energy efficiency, renewable energy and electric vehicles. These trends will impact energy prices, consumer preferences and open new economic opportunities in clean technologies.
The global wind energy market has grown substantially in recent years and now supplies a significant portion of electricity in some countries. Drivers for this growth include concerns about energy security given volatile fossil fuel prices and supplies, environmental concerns about climate change and pollution, and the improving economics and competitiveness of wind power. The report examines wind energy potential and development trends globally and recommends policies to promote further growth, such as legally binding renewable energy targets and market reforms.

The document discusses the transition to clean energy and sustainable technologies. It provides examples of innovative clean energy technologies and summarizes benefits of investing in solar energy research, including a triple return on investment, 50% reduction in solar costs, and significant emissions reductions. However, it notes that political and economic factors have prevented a full transition, with politicians influenced by fossil fuel industries resisting climate policies due to perceived economic threats. It calls for governments and citizens to transform systems from a corporatocracy to a true democracy that supports well-being and sustainability.
The Future Of Renewable Energy And RE Policy MechanismsSheri Elliott
The document discusses renewable energy policy mechanisms and the future of renewable energy. It notes that renewable energies can compete with fossil fuels if subsidies are leveled between the industries. Currently, fossil fuels receive over 85% of energy subsidies in the US. Investments in wind energy, stimulated by the production tax credit, have significantly lowered costs and increased domestic manufacturing jobs. For renewable energies to effectively replace fossil fuels, policies need to incentivize their growth and competitiveness.
