📝 New International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) report describes the methodology and design of the SPLAT-CMP model, the modelling framework for electricity and transmission capacity expansion optimization behind Africa Continental Master Plan (#CMP). Supported through an extensive capacity building programme delivered by the agency as official modelling partner of CMP, the SPLAT-CMP model has been developed as a joint effort of African power pools and AUDA NEPAD leading the #CMP initiative. Built from IRENA’s long standing SPLAT-MESSAGE modelling methodology, SPLAT-CMP marks a major advancement in continental power system planning for #Africa.

I was recently interviewed for an insightful article by Germany's publisher, Table Briefings. In this interview, we discuss Egypt's renewable energy target, how to reduce energy costs, and how to become more independent of fossil fuels. Here are insights from the article; Energy Expert Ibrahim Kshanh told Table.Briefings that Egypt's plan was consistent with ISES 2035. Their goal is to increase the share of renewable energies in the national energy mix to the said 42 percent by 2035. "The targeted 30 gigawatts will contribute significantly to this goal and may increase the share of renewable energy beyond original expectations and position Egypt as a pioneer in the MENA region," says Kshanh. Expand energy storage In addition, energy storage plays a decisive role in improving the country's energy mix. It increases the stability and reliability of the power grid. In this area, Egypt concentrates on battery systems, pumped storage power plants (PSHP) and hydrogen energy storage systems (HESS). "By 2050, PSHP is expected to contribute 3.7 percent to energy supply, while HESS will play a crucial role in balancing the grid, especially with the planned electrolyser capacity of 15 gigawatts," says Kshanh. However, the expansion of renewable energy stands and falls with the financing. Egypt has to cope with a deep economic crisis and will not be able to finance this program from its own resources. According to Kshanh, funds are therefore needed from international organizations and the private sector. Funding of international organizations Financing from development partners is already integrated into the NWFE program. In addition, Egypt has signed numerous agreements with international financiers. For Kshanh, this is evidence of the country's ability to attract foreign investment for its green initiatives. Multilateral development banks such as the World Bank, the African Development Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) support equally with loans, grants and echnical assistance. Further funds come from the Green Climate Fund, which is based in Songdo, South Korea, and from other mechanisms for climate financing.

Statement: Hydrogen as the Key to the Future of Energy 🌟 The Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz is planning a rigorous dismantling of the gas network by 2045. But is that really the right approach? Dr. Thomas Klaue , CEO of SIQENS GmbH, urges a reassessment of these plans. 💡 Technological openness is the key: In a time when the future of the energy sector is still uncertain, we should not act hastily. The existing gas infrastructure could be used for the transport of green hydrogen, a sustainable solution for industry and communities. 🔍 Careful examination is essential: Why should we destroy a functioning #infrastructure that is already suitable for hydrogen? A parallel use of #gaspipelines and hydrogen pipelines would be efficient and cost-effective. 🚫 No blind action: Instead of pursuing blind activism, we should act rationally. Utilizing existing infrastructure and proven technologies will accelerate #decarbonization and support the #economiclocation of Germany. Together, we can shape a sustainable energy future.

The Italian ambassador to Angola, Cristiano Gallo, announced Italy's commitment to invest over $6 billion in #clean #energy projects across African countries, demonstrating Rome's dedication to global #energy #transition efforts. At the Innovation and Energy Transition Conference, organised by the Angolan National Agency for Oil, Gas, and Biofuels and the Trade and Industry Chamber of Angola, Ambassador Gallo highlighted Italy's focus on reducing #carbon #emissions by introducing innovative technologies. While specific allocation details for Angola were not provided, Italian companies are eager to invest in the country's #energy sector, presenting feasible projects to the Angolan government for potential financing. Italy also aims to strengthen collaboration with Angola, particularly with the support of ENI, to foster economic diversification and #sustainable #energy development. #CleanEnergy #GlobalPartnership #EnergyTransition

ISGF invites you to join the Webinar on "'The Short List of Climate Actions That Will Work - Balancing Renewables Requires Big Grid Storage, But What Kinds?" scheduled on a digital platform on 23 May 2024 from 07:30 to 08:30 IST | 04:00 - 05:00 PM CEST | 07:00 - 08:00 AM PST. The Presenter of the Webinar is Michael Barnard, Founder of "The Future is Electric", with Reji Pillai, President of ISGF, as the moderator. Electrifying everything everywhere all at once requires that electricity be available when it’s required. The trifecta is a 25% overbuild of renewables, a lot of transmission with HVDC taking pride of place and then grid storage. Optimizing the balance of the three minimizes how much of each we must built, but we’re still going to require TWh of high-efficiency electricity storage on the grid. What kinds, where and the often-overhyped dead ends is the focus of this discussion. Don't miss out - register now:
