Dutch/German grid operator TenneT TSO B.V. increased its investement activities with over 30 percent in the first half of 2024 in comparison to the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly related to higher investments in TenneT’s 2 GW #offshore program and several #onshore projects. https://lnkd.in/eAgNmF4M #gridexpansion #gridcongestion #sustainableenergy

Where are the ladies of Industrial Energy?? The programme development for the upcomming European Industrial Energy Days #EIED25 (12 & 13 March, Amsterdam) is coming along nicely. However, Industrial energy seems to be a man's world, with 95% male speakers. Ladies, give us a shout out 📣 if you are working on energy in the energy intensive sector! 👇 https://lnkd.in/eaGrP9P2...

Surely, you know about solar and wind power. But have you heard of bioenergy? 💡Het Laatste Nieuws recently reported that, according to the Bureau fédéral du Plan, Belgium may fail to meet its European renewable energy targets by 2030. The reason? The proportion of renewable energy is not increasing quickly enough. And this despite the efforts made, particularly in the electricity sector... 👉🏻https://lnkd.in/edSgTdKk 🌱 However, solutions do exist. #Biogas (or green gas), for example, is a fantastic untapped source of renewable energy. Made from organic matter such as fermentable waste, livestock effluent (slurry and manure) or sewage sludge, it can be used as a fuel, recovered as green electricity and heat or even injected into existing natural gas networks (in the form of #biomethane). At Veolia Belgium & Luxembourg, we have all the required technology to enable industrial companies or public authorities to take advantage of this sustainable solution. This is the case at Aquiris (https://lnkd.in/eHKYsyFu), where we operate a unit that produces biogas from the sludge extracted from the wastewater of Brussels' residents. This is also the case in Antwerp, where we have built a facility (Upgrade Bio Energy: https://lnkd.in/eDMwy45F) that produces biogas from waste such as expired food products. Despite these conclusive examples, biogas remains an energy source that is far from being fully exploited in Belgium (around 10%). With the Belgian and European elections just a few days away, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that a stable regulatory and incentive framework would help to kick-start the green gas market in our countries. ⏩ At a time when demand for renewable energies is strong, what are we waiting for? To meet Europe's renewable energy targets, it is time to speed up the ecological transformation... 🚀 #GreenGas #RenewableEnergies #EcologicalTransformation #GreenUp #UnlockTheSolutions

You’ve got the power. We have big plans for renewable energy between now and 2030!    Our goal: to equip our customers with 4.1GW of solar PV capacity. This is what the Netherlands currently has, one of the Top Ten solar markets in the world.    The challenge: commercial and industrial customers find it tricky pivoting to smarter, cleaner energy.    The solution: DCC Energy launched its Wewise Europe network of energy management businesses to support customers through the energy transition.    ✅ Energy management businesses share the strength of DCC and the power of the network.  ✅ Customers own their power generation, integrate new energy technologies and reduce costs and emissions.    Find out more in our latest energy article from Diane Abrahams (3 min read) https://lnkd.in/eKHdXmXJ   Cleaner Energy in Your Power. #RenewableEnergy #Solar #EnergyTransition #FTSE100

The infrastructure upgrade required to implement the electricity network transition is still a main challenge: "Overall grid costs in the Netherlands are set to continue to rise until 2045 as the level of fees Tennet is allowed to charge energy companies to use the grid is set to rise by EUR 8.8bn between 2024 and 2045. This is an almost four-fold increase, from around EUR 3bn in 2024 to just under EUR 12bn in 2045"
