?? I have some BIG personal news: At the end of April, I will be leading the Energy Programme at the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), University of Oxford! My ambition is to build a powerhouse for rigorous research on energy policy and energy demand, driving real-world impact at a time when bold action is more critical than ever. The University of Oxford is home to some of the world's most outstanding energy research, and I am honored to follow in the footsteps of giants - Dr Brenda Boardman, Nick Eyre and Charlie Wilson have been leading the programme over more than 3 decades. I also want to recognise Tina Fawcett, who has done an exceptional job leading the group over the past year and will soon pass the reins to me. The ECI is based in the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford which has just been ranked number 1 in the world for the 15th year now. It attracts top-notch researchers from around the globe making it a great hub for energy and climate research. In addition to my post at the ECI I will also become a Jackson Senior Research Fellow at Oriel College, Oxford contributing to the college’s energy and sustainability efforts through my research and policy expertise. I will play an active role in the Oriel Environment Group, supporting initiatives to enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and integrate clean energy solutions. Importantly I will also continue to serve the Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP)as a Senior Advisor and work towards a deep collaboration between RAP and Oxford.

?? NEW study ! #EV #smartcharging can save money to Europe's power grid - but how, and how much ? Smart EV charging saves money to power grids by using capacity better, reducing peaks and as a result reducing the need for grid investments. This is money saved for the system and for consumers. While we know about those benefits, quantifying them requires some fine-grained analysis of both, EV demand and the grid. ? In the final instalment of our global “benefits of smart EV charging” study series, Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) and The International Council on Clean Transportation teamed up with Artelys to model savings from electric cars & trucks in a French area Essonne (south of Paris), representative for many European grids. Key results: ? smart charging can reduce peak load on the grid by 6% in 2040, compared to unmanaged charging. ? Bidirectional charging can add an even greater reduction of 9%, compared to unmanaged charging in 2040. ? By flattening system peaks, smart EV charging avoids about one-quarter of yearly network reinforcement costs in the area. ?? Results show that smart charging is a collective task across all EV fleets. Savings come not only from residential overnight charging, but also optimised daytime charging of EV fleets at workplaces, and fully using electric trucks’ flexibility windows while parked at the depot. ?????? https://lnkd.in/erEXMx4p ??????
