#TotalEnergies Renewables Nederland joins the International Responsible Business Agreement for the Renewable Energy Sector. Our commitment is not new, TotalEnergies is already committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights wherever it operates in accordance with both; the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, which are the core of the IRBC Agreement. These commitments underscore our dedication to respecting human rights and responsible business conducts. Joining the IRBC Agreement allows us to focus more closely on our activities in the Netherlands, by collaborating and aligning with national efforts to foster responsible business conduct that minimizes negative environmental, social, and governance impacts throughout the value chain. #totalenergies #renewableenergy #gotonetzero https://lnkd.in/eCXKf9vZ

Way to go to stimulate the energy transition in 🇧🇪

Our goal is to reach One Terrawatt peak of Solar capacity in 2030. One of our colleagues wrote a post about the challenges we are facing to do this and also close the wealth gap. https://lnkd.in/e4U3XbrT

This week we presented the market scan ‘Plugging into the Greek Energy Transition’. We were happy to welcome so many Dutch sustainable businesses there.    As Ambassador Terstal mentioned Greece is rapidly transitioning to a renewable energy success story. There are opportunities for the Dutch business community to contribute to the change to a sustainable economy in sectors as energy-efficiency in the built environment, wind energy and energy/electricity networks. The Greek government is actively reaching out to the business community to invest in Greece. We want to contribute to the energy transition.    And the best thing is, Dutch companies are already active in the market. Not only do solar panels offer twice the amount of energy as compared to the same panels in the Netherlands, the Greek geography and climate offers also excellent opportunities for wind energy. The market is ready to explode.    We are thankful to Exergia for their work on the market scan and Carel Kok of Emergya Wind Technologies B.V. and Nikos Stamou of Enterprise Greece SA for contributing to the presentation.   Make sure to read the report at the NEA/RVO website. Together with RVO the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Greece can assist you in entering the Greek market.

Bridging the Solar Divide: Lessons from the Netherlands for a Fairer Energy Future In the Netherlands, a nation committed to ambitious renewable energy goals, we've witnessed a remarkable solar energy boom in the past two years. This journey, marked by both triumphs and setbacks, offers invaluable lessons for global energy policies. I may exaggerate it a bit, that will hopefully help you to take time to really “chew’ on the topics that I address. Key Learnings: 1.Respecting Technical Limits: Overlooking the basic principles, like Ohm's Law, leads to grid inefficiencies. An overloaded electricity grid cannot sustainably support solar expansion. 2.Beyond Surface Success: The initial phase of solar adoption has mainly reached the financially stable homeowners. This strategy, while effective initially, doesn’t address the needs of those without roof ownership or financial resources. 3.Grid Upgrades Are Crucial: Delaying necessary enhancements to the energy grid can lead to significant bottlenecks. This serves as a reminder for policymakers and business leaders to understand the intricacies of energy infrastructure. 4.Socialized Costs and Equity: In the Netherlands, grid costs are socialized. A crucial aspect to consider, especially when assessing the disproportionate solar adoption among privately owned versus rental and multifamily homes. This disparity further amplifies the socioeconomic divide. The Way Forward: 1.Complex Challenges as Primary Goals: Addressing the more intricate issues from the outset can pave the way for more inclusive and effective solutions. More explicit, focus on the people without financial resources and/or roof ownership. 2.Closing the Socioeconomic Gap: It is imperative to develop renewable energy strategies that narrow the wealth gap. This involves targeted policies, ensuring equitable access to solar energy. In conclusion, the Dutch experience teaches us that a successful renewable energy transition requires more than just technological advancement; it necessitates thoughtful, inclusive planning and proactive policy-making. This requires proactive efforts and the expertise of individuals well-versed in the technical aspects of energy systems, such as Ohm’s law. So, please learn from these experiences and strive for solutions that not only promote sustainability but also foster social equity.

In the coming months we will regularly share different interviews with the parties to the International RBC Agreement for the Renewable Energy Sector. Check below the interview of Manuella Bridgette Appiah, ESG Manager at Sunrock about the challenges that the solar sector is facing and search for solutions. #RBC #IMVO #renewable #energy #solar #sustainability

❗Deadline nears❗ By June 30, 2025, Flemish businesses and public organizations consuming more than 1 gigawatt-hour per year are required to install solar panels. This mandate isn’t just a regulatory must-do—it’s a golden opportunity to lead in sustainability and enjoy the long-term benefits. In an engaging feature in the May 2024 edition of Solar Magazine, Lotte Ringoot from the Flemish Energy and Climate Agency (VEKA) discusses how they are helping the market prepare. With initiatives ranging from detailed webinars to a handy online simulator, VEKA is ensuring that large energy consumers are well-equipped to meet their solar obligations. At Go-Solar by D'Ieteren, we are ready to guide companies through this transition and provide a tailored installation that meets their specific needs. Interested in learning more about the support available and how you can make the most of this green transition?
