2️⃣The second theme that Elia Transmission Belgium’s #memorandum explores is ‘Access to carbon-neutral energy and competitive prices through the timely development of the high-voltage grid’📉. As Manon van Beek, the CEO of TenneT explains in the video below👇, over 20,000 companies from across the Netherlands are waiting to be connected to the country’s electricity transmission and distribution grids⚡. The risk associated with this is twofold: firstly, the business and investment climate may take a hit; and secondly, the country may struggle to reach its 2030 climate goals, since industry may not be able to electrify its processes in time⏳. 👉Read our memorandum in French and Dutch to explore its second theme here https://lnkd.in/etbv_qww #northseasummit #ostend #carbonneutral #energytransition#renewableenergy #offshore #electrification #highvoltagegrid #memorandum #eliamemorandum #energypolicy #greenpower

75% of total emissions comes from energy. The good news: The transition to a #netzero world is taking up speed. To decarbonize our energy systems we must redevelop the infrastructure that supports them. Do you think we are on track? Explore this Siemens Infrastructure interactive story across 14 regions and find out why energy is so important for the infrastructure transition.

#Europe is in the midst of an industrial #transformation. To ensure its success, it is important to strengthen the #competitiveness and #sustainability of European #industry. That's why we at TenneT support the #AntwerpDeclaration for an #EuropeanIndustrialDeal. The declaration underlines the need for an EU #energy #strategy with concrete measures to enable cross-border electricity generation, grids and the expansion of hydrogen and other green molecules. As a cross-border #TSO, we support the decarbonization and electrification of industry. We accelerate #grid expansion and ensure that green #electricity produced in Europe is delivered to where it is needed. Together we can make European #industry competitive and sustainable.   #LightingTheWayAheadTogether

📊Electricity industry association Eurelectric says that in order to achieve the goals of the European energy transition, average annual investment in Europe's electricity grids between now and 2050 must be at least 84% higher than in 2021. Overcoming the limitations on the expansion and digitization of grid is the number one priority in achieving the EU's decarbonization goals.   Investments are key to achieving the set goals. In 2021-2022, we saw an 8% increase in investments. However, we need to increase annual investment by 84% between now and 2050. “We need more lines, more digitalisation and more climate resilience to get our grids fit for net-zero. This requires a change in the regulatory approach. Grid operators must be allowed to make anticipatory investments so we can start preparing for higher electrification” - said Kristian Ruby, Secretary General of Eurelectric 🔎More -> https://lnkd.in/gtZj8btY #PowerBarometer23 #grid #griddevelopment #powersystem

⚡ Alongside Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, we’re calling for Feasibility Studies that explore bespoke satellite systems for energy asset management. How can the energy industry transform current largely passive networks into ‘smart networks’ that use distributed intelligence to actively control the flow of energy? Could satellite technologies hold the key? Could you help us shape a novel communications network that can reach assets outside the range of conventional terrestrial cellular coverage - a network that can still function and control the resumption of supply when terrestrial power fails? Be part of the UK transition to Net Zero. Application round 5 closing soon!

The Energy Networks Association (ENA) in the UK has set out an action plan to release enough grid capacity in 2024 to decarbonise Great Britain's power grid. With an additional 112GW of capacity already installed, the 139GW action plan delivers more than the 225GW needed. The report, Rising to Britain's Net Zero Challenge: Our Fairer and Faster Connections Action Plan, confirms that nearly 50GW of additional capacity is already available to customers. https://bit.ly/48FEerU #DNO #gridcompliance #developers #powersystem #electricity #gridconnection #electricitybill #netzero #powergrid

Islands like #Guadalupe are real #microgrids and when increasing renewable share, stability issues in the grid can occur. It is worth noting that weather conditions with fast passing clouds and even clouds forming over the islands make PV power very intermittent. Our Power Conversion solutions provide the needed stability. Very exciting project.
