FARADAY Grid, the Edinburgh-based energy technology company, has announced a new partnership with the World Energy Council.
The firm has become an “innovation supporter” with the council, which means the two organisations will actively collaborate in a broad programme of activities, starting with a project looking at how to address increased volatility in electricity grids as renewable energy penetration increases.
Andrew Scobie, of Faraday Grid, said: “To achieve sustainable energy and prosperity for all, we need an energy system fit for the future.
“This means our thinking and solutions need to be truly innovative and transformative. Faraday Grid’s partnership with the WEC is an expression of our commitment to achieve clean, reliable and affordable energy.”

“The World Energy Council is constantly strengthening its tools and insights to support a smooth energy transition and learning from leading innovators is critical to deepen our understanding on how new business models and technologies can shape our energy future.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
