Europe’s distribution grids need to be urgently modernised to enable massive electrification of transport, heating and industry, integrate renewables and withstand more frequent extreme weather and cyber threats, Eurelectric demands.
A new Mc Kinsey analysis highlights disparity between project target volumes, expected volumes and those reaching FID is significant – threatening the pace of the energy transition.
The United States continues to face challenges meeting the increased demand for critical minerals almost two years after the historic Inflation Reduction Act, a S&P Global study finds.
A climate-neutral, affordable and secure energy supply needs a strong Europe and even more European cooperation. This was a central message of the BDEW Annual Congress in Berlin, which took place this year in the run-up to the European elections.
The Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) adopted the UNEZA Roadmap to 2030, which targets a total increase of renewable energy capacity within their portfolios to 749 GW by 2030, an increase of 2.5 times relative to 2023.
DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, reveals a resilient optimism within the energy sector, despite prevailing caution.
Powerful economic and technological factors are driving the transition to clean energy, Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, says.
The energy company LEAG plans to launch several wind and solar projects with the project developer EP New Energies (EPNE) this year. The aim is to create a network of green energy plants - the so-called Gigawatt Factory. It is one of the largest energy transition projects in Europe.
The climate change and the recent global energy crises underscore the urgent need to restructure the energy industry. The demand for green electricity is growing in line with the energy transition, as industrial processes, heat generation and transportation are increasingly being electrified. To achieve both key objectives of attaining climate protection goals and becoming independent of fossil fuel imports, the share of renewable energies in gross electricity consumption needs to increase drastically across the globe.
A series of shocks, crises and tensions underscore the need for an equitable energy transition that is inclusive of different situations in different parts of the world, Atul Arya, Chief Energy Strategist, S&P Global Commodity Insights, emphasizes.
A small, solar-powered robot that works independently in the field: This is no longer a utopia. Thanks to technological developments, it is now possible. A Danish company showed how it works at Agritechnica.
Trina Solar has stressed the importance of collaboration along the solar value chain to drive the energy transition in the EMEA region at BloombergNEF (BNEF) Summit 2023, which was held in London earlier this month.
The update of IEA’s landmark Net Zero Roadmap shows greater ambition and implementation, supported by stronger international cooperation, will be critical to reach climate goals.
Higher investments and upgraded infrastructure are urgently needed to enable a tripling in electrification rates by 2050 in order to reach Europe`s decarbonization goals. With 6½ years until 2030, Europe must attract unprecedented investments for grid expansion, shows Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2023.
The sector association Eurelectric calls for more electricity distribution grid capacity to enable Europe’s energy transition .
The improved strategic agreement between the two solar associations aims to strengthen the development of solar photovoltaic, energy storage, and green hydrogen markets in both countries, promoting new investments and business opportunities.
The development of a transport infrastructure for captured CO2 is the focus of the pipeline industry. But in some cases it is breaking new ground and there are still a number of challenges and unanswered questions, as an international conference in Berlin showed.
War in Ukraine will delay net zero goals while simultaneously propelling the renewable transition forward. These and more trends have emerged from a recent study by Baywa r.e. Read the results in more detail here:
At SolarPower Europe’s annual general meeting, elections were held to appoint key members of the Board, including the President, two Vice-President positions, and two members of the Board of Directors.
A preview of the World Energy Transitions Outlook warns of a dramatic standstill and calls for a rapid course correction in the energy transition in favour of the 1.5-degree climate target. By 2030, 35 trillion US dollars would have to flow into energy efficiency, electrification and grid expansion.
If we hack together, we will make it. That was the message of the German Renewable Energy Federation's (BEE) Energy Dialogue 2023 this week in Berlin.
The global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is causing profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system, according to the latest edition of the IEA’s World Energy Outlook.
The energy transition is more than a political project; it can only succeed as a joint social effort. This is emphasized by Dirk Kaisers, Segment Leader Distributed Energy EMEA at Eaton, in a guest article.
