I am thrilled to witness an unparalleled stride towards sustainability and energy security in Europe with the initiation of the 'Highway of Green Energy' project. This groundbreaking endeavour, connecting the Black and Caspian Seas through a 1200km cable, signifies more than just an engineering marvel; it symbolises a commitment to renewable energy, international cooperation, and a strategic pivot towards energy independence from traditional sources. The challenges are many, from the technical intricacies of deploying the world’s longest underwater cable to navigating the complex geopolitical landscape. Yet, the potential benefits for energy security and sustainable development are immense. As we embarked on this journey in Romania, advancing solar PV and hydrogen technologies, the importance of visionary projects like this cannot be overstated.

CEFE Intelego | World Geothermal Congress 2023 to be a carbon-neutral event – Think Geoenergy | https://bit.ly/3QJ0oEg Adhering to the theme of “Green Geothermal, Clean Earth,” the World Geothermal Congress 2023 (WGC 2023) will be held as a “zero-carbon” event. This will be done through environment-friendly measures and innovative solutions…

With the fast deployment of #Grid congestions and reinforcement needs across Europe it is becoming very important to move one step further towards interconnecting development of local self consumption communities with #Grid development and operational optimisation. This means moving towards new contractual agreements and define mechanisms to further aggregate distributed #FlexibleConnectionAgreements into Dynamic Load Averaging contracts reducing substation reinforcement queues while taking advantage of new local flexibility markets and so avoid #Grids to stall the fast development of #Renewable and #EV integration particularly. This next #LEMA event is unique as it aims to move one step further towards the commercialisation of self-balancing districts as defined by smartEn Smart Energy Europe, join us to share your practitioner expertise into such transformation #ResidentialStorage #Demandsideflexibility #VirtualPowerPlant #V2X #Dynamictariffs #Dataspaces #Vectors #TraxisGroup #Kafka4Power SolarPower Europe ENTSO-E EU DSO Entity E.DSO Innovate UK OneNet Project Project EDDIE National Grid ESO Ofgem dcbel Digital4Grids Axual

Congratulations to PT PLN (Persero), whom have begun the journey to net zero emissions 2 years ago, and have already removed 13GW of coal in the process. As Indonesia's national electric company, they have tabled the cleanest national electricity planning in the history of the country - 51.6% of additional generation capacity to be earmarked coming from renewable energy. The plan identified a mismatch between the location of the large scale RE in remote areas, with the epicentre of demand in Java, and have set out to construct the new Super Grid. The green enabling Super Grid will increase additional generation capacity to 32GW. This will be the country's roadmap to achieve net zero emission by 2060, and the new accelerated renewable energy development will be a USD150 billion project under presidential regulation. Apart from harnessing every single new potential of RE - wind, solar, hydro and geothermal, the new development would also form the baseline for the ASEAN Power Grid with additional connections to Malaysia and Singapore. 𝗘𝗻𝗹𝗶𝘁 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 - the leading platform which gathers industry providers to support ASEAN's transition to a low-carbon energy supply, is proud to support this movement. The event brings together the entire value chain of both power and utility producers and suppliers to discuss and discover innovations that will drive the energy transition, during the 78th Indonesian National Electricity Day on 𝟭𝟰 - 𝟭𝟲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯. A truly exciting time and experience awaits! Visitor registration is now open.

Still on Eskom... I am reducing the ambivalence towards the two recent communique from the power utility, to failure to read critically. The communique by Eskom on Kusile (refer to my previous post) followed by another one re-introducing stage 2 loadshedding, is about the milestone reached at Kusile's unit 5 in which the communique explicitly states; the 800 MW generation capacity from the unit is only going to supply electricity INTERMITTENTLY during what will be a testing and optimisation phase over the next six months before operating commercially. The milestone reached at Kusile, does not mean South Africa is out of the woods from the power crisis, we are far from it. The re-introduction of stage 2 loadshedding from tomorrow is a no-brainer, as the festive season has ended.

Collaboration with IPKO Telecommunications in different projects🤝

Colleagues from The Embassy in Prague Lars Gade Holm and Svatava Majkova visited EOP (Elektrárny Opatovice, a.s.), together with an expert on the district heating sector Lars Gullev from VEKS. During the friendly meeting, they talked about decarbonisation, future strategies, modernization of the entire industry, as well as possibilities for mutual cooperation. One of the projects that EOP is preparing the construction of a facility for energy utilization of waste - ZEVO https://lnkd.in/ddEwc2zP. Greening the industry! 🌿♻ Czechia is speeding the green energy transition from mainly coal to sustainable energy source. District Heating is widespread in country and there is expected to be large investment in the sector to improve the Energy Efficiency. District heating plays a key role in the Danish energy system. Denmark is one of the most energy-efficient countries in the world. The widespread use of district heating and combined heat and power is one of the primary reasons that energy efficiency has increased while carbon emissions have decreased in Denmark over the past several decades. Today, around 64 percent of all private Danish households are connected to district heating utilized for space heating and hot water combined ♨ 💦

Meetings like this one at Elektrarny Opatovice is helping me to understand how complex is greening of the energy sector. But also exciting. I look forward to nurture cooperation between Denmark and the Czech Republic in this field. #districtheating #greentransition #energyefficiency
