October 25, 2024The German regulator BNetzA has greenlit the central hydrogen network, which will span 9,040 km. The estimated investment is 18.9 billion euros, with a transport potential of 278 TWh of hydrogen, driving the energy transition in Europe and strengthening connections with other countries.
October 24, 2024Antonio Delgado Rigal, CEO of Aleasoft, points out that during the first twenty days of October, the average energy price in Greece was 83.8 €/MWh, with hourly values fluctuating between 0.04 €/MWh and 268.9 €/MWh. He also states that the country has accelerated the integration of renewable sources, such as solar and wind, and is promoting storage technologies to balance supply and demand in order to avoid price spikes.
October 23, 2024The Sustainable Renewable Energy Association (APERS) reports that there is currently 3.4 GW of installed wind power and 1.5 GW of photovoltaic solar power in Romania. The Romanian government aims to reach 7 GW of wind and 6 GW of solar energy by 2030, as part of the Energy and Climate Plan. This means that 450 MW of wind and 560 MW of photovoltaic solar power need to be installed annually through the end of the decade.
October 22, 2024The government has approved the draft bill to reinstate the National Energy Commission (CNE). In this context, the Association of Electric Energy Companies (aelēc) emphasizes that the commission’s focus should be on electric grids and that it should encourage investments in this area through remuneration models. Additionally, Marina Serrano, president of the association, indicates that the commission must also prioritize measures related to access and connection capacity to the grids, for both generation and demand.
October 21, 2024HELAPCO, the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies, states that curtailments are expected to reach 1 TWh in 2024, representing 3.5% of total renewable energy production. They emphasize that between 7.5 GW and 8 GW of storage capacity is needed to address this issue. Additionally, they project surpassing the 2030 photovoltaic target of 13.5 GW and reaching 20 GW of installed capacity.
