⚡️ Our Economic Development Manager, Gary Hughes, will be speaking on the ‘Community Benefits for Transmission Infrastructure’ panel at the All Energy Exhibition and Conference in Glasgow today! Join Gary as he speaks alongside fellow industry-leaders as they discuss: 💡The UK Government has announced that communities impacted by new Transmission infrastructure, such as overhead lines and substations, will now be offered Benefits funding. → How should Transmission operators target communities that will be impacted by transmission works?  → How can they unlock socio-economic benefits; enabling a Just Transition and leaving a positive lasting legacy?  → In what way can they support a wide range of community organisations, target local stakeholders and understanding local priorities?  → How will solutions be tailored to address community’s needs? 🗓️ Wednesday 15 May 16:00 - 17:30 📍Carron, All Energy Exhibition & Conference, SEC Glasgow ➡️ Register now: https://lnkd.in/gFGKyiDC #AllEnergy24 #Dcarbonise24

📣 🆕 During the European Council meeting on 27-28 June 2024, the EU’s 27 heads of state and government adopted their views on the Union’s Strategic Agenda for 2024-2029.   “SolarPower Europe welcomes the Council’s perspective on the EU Strategic Agenda for 2024-2029 which reflects the multifaceted challenges of our time with respect to democracy, security and competitiveness. The #solar sector is in a pole-position to deliver on each of these strategic objectives as solar PV is the most inclusive, secure and low-cost energy source for Europe.   It is particularly positive to see the emphasis on ambitious #electrification, the development of grids, and enhanced #storage capabilities.    At the same time, we urge EU leaders to provide a clearer and stronger commitment to delivering the European Green Deal. This must be reaffirmed as a top priority in the EU's strategic agenda, including by re-appointing a dedicated Executive Vice-President for the EU Green Deal."  - Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO, SolarPower Europe Read our full statement below to learn more 👇 https://lnkd.in/deFYMpqa

Maroš Šefčovič is confirmed as the new Green Deal Chief! 👏   We are very pleased with his commitment to launching a 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 in November, which was called for by our President Leo Birnbaum back in September.   We look forward to working with the European Commission to deliver the #REPowerEU targets with #Grids4Speed ⚡   See what's needed to make Europe's power grids ready for a decarbonised future: https://lnkd.in/ep9_XgsC   E.ON | Georgios Stassis | PPC S.A. | Markus Rauramo | Fortum | #energy #electrification #EUGreenDeal

The Australian Government is seeking feedback until 31 January 2024 on a consultation paper to inform the design and delivery of Australia’s First Nations Clean Energy Strategy.   The Strategy aims to identify opportunities for First Nations people to lead and benefit from the clean energy transition – and deliver a framework for priority outcomes and actions.   It will support self-determined aspirations and stimulate investment, cooperation, and enduring benefits across the government, non-government, and industry sectors.   We welcome this initiative and see it as an important framework for the hydrogen industry to ensure meaningful collaboration and shared benefits for First Nations people.

⏳In over a month’s time, regional, federal, and European elections will be held in Belgium. 💡In light of this, Elia Transmission Belgium’s #memorandum aims to support politicians as they shape their energy policy. 📃The document covers four key themes that ETB recommends policymakers address as a matter of urgency👇: ⚡Energy compass 2050: Guiding Belgium towards a carbon-neutral economy and society; 📉Access to carbon-neutral energy and competitive prices through the timely development of the high-voltage grid; 🌏Making it easier for everyone to get involved to ensure a more affordable energy transition; 🚀Ensuring Belgium’s digital independence. We will be exploring each of these themes in turn over the course of this week. Make sure you stay tuned 👂! 👉Read our memorandum in French and Dutch here https://lnkd.in/etbv_qww #europeanelections #eliamemorandum #energycompass #energycompass2050 #energytransition #renewableenergy #offshore #electrification #highvoltagegrid #decarbonisation #renewables #electricitygrid #netzero

#Interconnectors for #GreenTransition European Environment Agency has published a report "Rapid growth in renewables calls for greater cooperation among Member States to double flexibility in the EU power system" 👉 Quote: "Enhanced electricity interconnection is key. More grids should be built across borders and the existing grid capacity used better. Interconnectors facilitate the efficient flow of electricity across borders to where it is most needed. Existing and planned interconnectors facilitate flexibility to be shared across border and in 2030 could reduce the need for power supply by an amount equivalent to the electricity consumption (in 2022) of Sweden." We know it very well. AQUIND alone could be saving a million tonnes of CO2 a year (the equivalent of emissions from almost 600,000 fossil-fuelled cars).

❗ The energy challenges facing our politicians in the coming decades are enormous. Elia presented an energy compass with the main challenges but, above all, solutions 🗺 Read it here ⬇

Fortum White Paper on priorities for the next European Commission. Proposed key actions include: 🏭 Accel­erate indus­trial #decarbonization 🏛 Restore internal market principles and regulatory framework ⚡ Invest in electri­fi­cation and hydrogen economy 🌍 Set and maintain ambitious climate targets 💪 Promote all clean energy technologies to enable a successful energy transition.

Amidst global energy challenges and the drive for a sustainable and prosperous future, we are happy to present our White Paper outlining key actions for the next EU Commission (2024-2029). The document emphasises the urgent need for Europe to foster clean and green industries and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. While the decarbonisation of the power sector is already advancing well, enhancing direct and indirect electrification of industries and the development of a hydrogen economy in Europe is the next task at hand. Our proposed key actions include: 🏭 Accel­erate indus­trial decar­bon­i­sation 🏛 Restore internal market principles and regulatory framework ⚡ Invest in electri­fi­cation and hydrogen economy 🌍 Set and maintain ambitious climate targets 💪 Promote all clean energy technologies to enable a successful energy transition. Read more from the White Paper and join us in discussing how these initiatives can reinforce Europe's leadership in the global clean energy transition and lay the foundation for a prosperous, sustainable future. 🌍💡 #energytransition #cleanenergy #eucommission

"The Commission estimates that €584 billion in new investments will be required to upgrade Europe’s grids before 2030. Action cannot come soon enough, as electricity demand is expected to grow by 60% by the end of the decade, which the current grid can’t support." #cleanenergytransition #cop28 #emobility
