🚨 #SaveTheDate for our #event on the 4th of December in Brussels🚨 ♻️ Decarbonisation is rapidly transforming our energy system and making it more decentralised. Balancing an intricate web of localised loads and generators will be a formidable challenge. 💡 But with complexity also comes opportunity; new pathways for innovation, efficiency, and sustainability emerge.   👉 Join us in exploring the potential of decentralised, distributed energy systems and generation in driving security of supply, competitiveness and industry decarbonisation.   🖊️ Registrations will open soon - stay tuned! https://lnkd.in/e-a66iNt

To boost #competitiveness in the EU, Mario #Draghi recommends looking at the broader picture to truly transform our energy systems — especially the rising costs of decarbonisation: “Policy decisions should as such not solely be based on the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) associated with each project or technology, but should account for the increasing overall system cost associated with the decarbonisation of the economy.” We could not agree more: ⚡️ Grid and system integration, flexibility, storage, redispatch, and demand flexibility are critical areas that need attention to ensure a smooth transition. 🔋 Variable renewable energy, while crucial, does not provide firm power. To ensure a balanced and resilient energy system, we must invest in flexible power generation and robust networks to balance renewable power efficiently. ✅ Policy decisions must focus not only on the cost of electricity but on equivalent firm power, ensuring energy security while keeping system costs in check.

🌍🔌 The ongoing review of the Network Code on Requirements for Generators (NC RfG) aims to streamline and harmonise grid connection requirements across the EU, paving the way for a future-proof, sustainable energy system. 🌱⚡   However, two key issues need urgent attention:   1️⃣ Aggregation rules: There is a lack of clarity on how power-generating units can be grouped together for connection to the grid. Without clear guidelines, this can delay projects and limit renewable energy integration.   2️⃣ Compliance Certification: We need a clear system to certify that power generation equipment meets EU standards. This will ensure grid stability, speed up certification and improve compliance across the EU power system.   EUGINE – The European Engine Power Plants Association and co-signers urge ACER and the European Commission to act swiftly and resolve these issues. Without clarity on these, the energy market risks stalling and investments slowing. 💡 EUTurbines - European Association of Gas and Steam Turbine Manufacturers | COGEN EUROPE | EUROPGEN | WindEurope | SolarPower Europe | Verband akkreditierter Zertifizierungsgesellschaften e.V.

This week, the EUGINE board met in Helsinki for a productive two-day session. Our members discussed lessons learned from the past EU policymakers' mandate and exchanged valuable ideas for EUGINE's future direction🚀   As EUGINE celebrates its 10th anniversary, we are excited to reflect on our journey and set new goals. We also had the chance to tour the ABB factory in Helsinki, where generators, motors, and compressors have been produced for over 100 years! 🏭⚙️   Many thanks to Wärtsilä for hosting us in their beautiful city!   Stay tuned and join us in celebrating a decade of achievements on 4th of December! #EUGINE10thAnniversary #Innovation #Industry #engines Kari Hietanen Carl Richers Michael Wagner Reynald Mumenthaler Bjarne Bogner Tilman Tütken Markku Väinämö
