Energy Aggregation: Blending Renewable Sources for Consistent Green Energy Supply

James Beatty is Chief Executive Officer at Enpower Trading.

Summary

Enpower Trading explains the concept of energy aggregation, where different power plants, both embedded inside a municipality and externally, are contracted with to create an aggregate profile of renewable energy.

Using the example of solar and wind energy, James illustrates how the trading solution adds those two profiles together to create a more full and consistent renewable energy supply.

The trading system is able to blend kilowatt hours of green energy from different sources and times of day, providing access to a higher renewable energy penetration for customers.

James Beatty emphasises that this blending of renewable energy sources is important for various types of customers, including big corporations looking to reduce carbon emissions and private buyers seeking to be greener.

This clip goes on to discuss how this blending of renewable energy sources can lead to a high percentage, even up to 100%, of renewable energy supply.
