🎖️ Green medal to Paris for being the first Olympics powered 100% by wind and solar. All the electricity that’s consumed at the different stadiums, venues and athletes’ facilities is coming from 6 wind farms and 2 solar parks run by EDF. EDF are a Premium Partner of the Games and have signed a Power Purchase Agreement with the organisers covering the next 2 weeks and the Paralympics. The wind farms and solar parks are spread across France so they can max out on whatever the weather’s doing. They include Chemin-d’Ablis, one of France’s largest #windfarms between Orléans and Chartres. ⚡ Crucially, the organisers have connected all the Olympic sites to the electricity grid - with the help of the distribution system operator Enedis. Major sports facilities and big events like pop music festivals normally run on diesel generators. But for Paris 2024 the latter will only be there for emergency back-up. Take note, events organisers - you don’t have to run on diesel ! The Paris 2024 facilities will also be more #energyefficient than ever before. The lighting systems will use LED technology which will use 80% less power than standard lighting. And that's not all … EDF is deploying a photovoltaic carport at the bus station and a floating mobile #solarfarm on the Seine - all of which can be reused after the Games.

🌍 Understanding Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in your decarbonisation strategy 🌱 GOs play a pivotal role in ensuring your electricity is genuinely green. Here's why you should include GOs in your energy strategy: 🔍 What are GOs? - GOs trace green electricity within the power system. - They provide proof that the energy consumed is renewable. 📈 Why are GOs Essential? - They are crucial for PPAs, establishing a verifiable link between renewable energy producers and consumers. - GOs offer traceability, enabling industries to demonstrate their commitment to consuming renewable energy. 💡 Want to learn more?

Unlock more renewables for corporate buyers by expanding and upgrading Europe’s grids 👇   Corporates want to procure renewables, but slow grid connections and curtailment are major barriers. A modernised grid infrastructure is essential for scaling up renewable energy use.   Read more about how Member States can solve this bottleneck and bring more wind energy online:

🏗 “The increasing adoption of clean energy by companies like Amazon is a powerful testament to the opportunity of the energy transition. At RE-Source, we're proud to help more companies to source renewable energy via PPAs. By removing regulatory barriers and engaging new corporate buyers, we can make clean electricity a compelling option for more companies” says Annie Scanlan Policy and Impact Director at RE-Source Platform. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d7kcGpNS

📢 EU action needed: Recognise EV battery manufacturer’s PPAs! RE-Source Platform, alongside corporate renewable energy buyers, producers, and energy transition leaders, is calling for urgent action from the EU! 🚗 🔋 The Draft Delegated Act on the EV battery carbon footprint methodology risks hampering Europe's growing power purchase agreement (PPA) market – a key decarbonisation tool for corporates. We call the European Commission and Member States to: ✅ Recognise PPAs in the EV battery carbon footprint methodology. ✅ Continue incentivising EV battery supply chain to decarbonise their electricity supply by combining PPAs and Guarantees of Origin (GOs). ✅ Don’t create parallel carbon accounting methodologies and risk double-counting. Read the full joint letter and join us in urging the EU to act!

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Cefic & RE-Source Platform webinar on Procuring Renewable Energy with Power Purchase Agreements!🙌 Access to renewable energy is vital for the chemical industry to meet climate targets, reduce carbon emissions, and stay competitive. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer a practical pathway for companies to access clean energy and get closer to achieving these goals. During the webinar, we explored the steps to sign a PPA and learned valuable insights from chemical companies’ experiences. 🌍 Special thanks to our speakers Christian Essers, Vice President Global Energy Procurement, Wacker Chemie AG; Patrick Hermann, Senior Sales Origination, Statkraft; Merijn Voeten, Renewable Energy Manager Europe, LyondellBasell; Nicolai Romanowski, Energy Manager, Cefic and Annie Scanlan, Policy & Impact Director, RE-Source. Stay tuned for more events as we continue to support the chemical sector in its journey towards energy decarbonisation. 💡🌱 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eQ_upeET #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #ChemicalIndustry #GreenDeal
