⚡ The 2050 Energy Efficiency Strategy Germany's new energy strategy lays out a series of ambitious goals that will transform the country's energy sector. At the heart of this strategy is a commitment to drastically reduce energy consumption, aiming to halve it by 2050 compared to 2008 levels. This ambitious target is not only essential for environmental protection but also for bolstering energy security and lessening reliance on foreign energy sources. With the increase in projects and demand for network connection the availability on the Grid has also been considered. Understanding the critical importance of grid expansion in enabling the integration of renewable energy sources, the German Federal Cabinet has approved an amendment to the Federal Requirements Plan Act. This strategic step strengthens the regulations governing the expansion of the electricity grid to accommodate the increasing proportion of renewables. What do you think of the new plans? #germany #renewableenergy #renewables #germansolar #germanpv #germanwind #targets #2050 #strategy #engineer

Slurry (farm yard manure) is on the move in Ireland right now with the weather so bad and tanks in farm sheds overflowing. but this is less fertiliser needed to be imported from Russia. personally, I'm benefiting from the extra slurry as organic farmers can use slurry from conventional farms. Are new gas pipelines a good thing or will they end up as stranded assets? who will pay the bill if they end up as white elephants? Green gas? is it not better used for planes if any is ever maid a volume? will a green gas power station help stimulate green gas or is it better to leave slurry for growing food and reduce fertiliser use which is just gas in a bag? open debate in my view will be the best way to get the future assets as close to right as could be expected. We all will end up funding these assets one way or another as I was shocked to hear my subcontractor saying in Sweden one day as her refused to my my life easy and take an extra cost on a lazy design on my side. Ireland could do with more of this attitude. "we will all end up funding it"

So nice to be among the sponsors of this insightful event organized by Invest In Network. It has been our pleasure meeting with the important solar market players. Romania has a big potential for the development of solar energy. In order to realize this potential, Romania has signed an agreement through the PNRR according to which, by 2030, the solar capacities installed should be 3.7 GW. To reach this level, an additional 2.3 GW is required. For this purpose, Romanians can access, in the short and medium term, RON 2 billion (approximately €400 million). The financing will be done through the “Casa Verde” ("Green House") program, which could be implemented in the addition of approximately 450-500 MW, covering over 87,500 homes. In the long term, there is a potential for the installation of photovoltaic systems for a residential market of about 28 GW. #RecomTechnologies #solar #PV #innovation #photovoltaic #Recom

Together with Gas Networks Ireland, today we announce a landmark development of gas infrastructure, connecting Bord na Móna’s Edenderry Renewable Energy Complex to the national gas network. The grid connection will enable the integration of both natural gas and renewable gas including biomethane and green hydrogen, into the fuel mix at the Co. Offaly renewable energy complex. On completion, the transmission connection project will immediately facilitate a reduction of approximately 40% in CO2 emissions, through the conversion of existing diesel generation assets to natural gas, supporting the national energy grid in times of high demand. This investment will see the construction of a steel transmission pipeline, approximately 22Km in length, that will connect Bord na Móna’s renewable energy complex in Edenderry, to Ireland's €2.8bn gas network. Furthermore, this connection will enable the effective transition to renewable gases in the future, complementing both companies’ renewable strategies.   #investment #development #decarbonise #gas #infrastructue #energy #demand

Our team of renewable energy experts attended Intersolar South America 2023! After a information experience at Sao Paulo, Isaque M., BD Manager Brazil, recognizes that Brazil is a country whose energy matrix is already quite high on renewables, based primarily on hydro energy production. During rainy season, hydro makes up 60% of the total energy generation. The expansion of wind and solar energy depends on power grid transmission line infrastructure, which might be completed in three to four years. Nearly 10GW of new solar projects are anticipated altogether for the upcoming year, particularly distributed power. The biggest challenge now is to have the structure for power transmission lines, economic growth to push energy capacity installed base and the current interest rate in Brazil. The most important requirement is to have a reliable partner for data administration and analysis. Because of this, GPM works hard to deliver high-quality service while understanding the needs and demands of the regional market alongwith ffective asset monitoring solutions to offer appropriate insight into efficiency, maintenance and predictability. #predictiveanalytics #solar #energytransition #renewableenergy Josep Berengueras Laura Casla Zarraga
