Excited to share a major milestone that the Galp team has been deeply involved in: the launch of our groundbreaking project on reusing electric vehicle batteries. In collaboration with BeePlanet Factory and BMW, we introduced the "Second Life Batteries" system at our Alcalá de Henares station in Madrid. This system repurposes end-of-life EV batteries to power ultra-fast chargers, boasting a capacity of 368 kWh. Our station features a robust EV charging network with 4 parking spaces, each offering a nominal power range of 180 kW. The true magic happens with the battery as a buffer, enabling a 360 kW power setup in a low voltage (LV) system. Typically, this setup would rely on a medium voltage power transformer, but in this case, a 150 kW connection in LV makes the trick. This sustainable approach is further supported by solar panels in the main canopy of the station, helping to sustain our daily operations. Beyond the EV charging capabilities, the station offers state-of-the-art biofuels, like HVO, demonstrating our commitment to decarbonizing our business. The centerpiece of this setup is a top-notch convenience store, providing the comfort, coziness, and safety our clients deserve. This project represents the true concept of a sustainable and future-proof energy asset: oriented to the present, yet wide open to what the future holds. Proud of what we've achieved and excited for the journey ahead! #Innovation #EV #Galp #SecondLifeBatteries #Sustainability #Emobility #ElectricVehicles #GalpElectric

Portugal leads the way with interoperable EV charging network Portugal was one of the first countries to install an interoperable and universally accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure, in line with the European Union's Alternative Fuels Charging Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). This infrastructure was defined back in 2010 when the MOBI.E model was developed. Its main objective was to allow any user of an electric vehicle to charge it easily. Luís Barroso, President of MOBI.E, explains: "Interoperability was guaranteed from the outset in all the charging stations. It has also been possible to create an information system that provides real-time information on the availability of a socket, its location, power and tariff, which is crucial for user confidence". The company's priority, he says, is to provide the best user experience. Mobi.E's public network has grown and its success is reflected in the figures: more than 3.7 million charges by 2023, more than 4,450 publicly accessible charging stations, 55,000 fewer tonnes of CO2 emitted and 20.5 million fewer litres of diesel consumed. Last year alone. Real-time access to information and total interoperability are the pillars of success for the Mobi.E charging network. "This is where the opportunities lie," says Luís Barroso. "MOBI.E will be able to help European countries achieve real-time information accessibility solutions more quickly to meet the requirements of the European regulation, while at the same time making the internationalisation of the operations of companies already operating in Portugal more competitive." The company also aims to help countries that are just starting to look for solutions, such as the Latin American markets. According to MOBI.E's president, this will help to "affirm Portugal's name in a field as important for the world as the decarbonisation of mobility". To this end, MOBI.E has contacted various organisations in Spain and the Latin American market. "So far, we have managed to sign a contract with the VATIA group in Colombia, but I'm sure that our efforts will soon lead to new developments," said Luís Barroso. https://lnkd.in/drQRxzia.

At the 1.2 GW Start Campus SINES Data Center in #Portugal, the team are invested in addressing the global DC water challenge effectively, thanks to a zero water consumption cooling system. The campus will draw in cool ocean water from the Atlantic to absorb and transport the heat generated by the servers, then release back to source the same volume of water. This method cools the equipment without evaporating or consuming drinking water, avoiding any strain on an already scarce global resource. This commitment to efficiency and meaningful innovation means that the fully built-out SINES DC campus will save over 22 million cubic meters of water per year at full capacity – equivalent to 42 billion water bottles of 500mL – while still delivering 1GW+ of #AI-ready, large-scale data center capacity to global customers... >>> www.startcampus.pt 🌊🌍💽

This is another indication that higher taxes for the wealthy doesn’t work. Politically it’s financial suicide and a negative move. The UK Government need to find ways of encouraging investment into the UK, not the opposite. Leading by fear is not the way forward. This is a nation of high intellect, innovation and creative youth. We need to foster greater investment in our future and learn not to sell-out to foreign corporates. UK - Innovate - Nuture - Create - Invest

👏💯 A massive shoutout to all the EDP teams involved for their incredible dedication and hard work in reaching this milestone! Special kudos to my amazing Site Integration team – you guys are the best, and your efforts have truly made all the difference. On July 3rd, REN used EDP’s Cerca solar plant to ensure grid stability in the system services market. This service, traditionally provided by gas and hydro plants, was offered by a photovoltaic plant for the first time. REN highlights that the entry of this solar plant into the system services market (specifically in the "secondary reserve" segment) is a significant milestone. For the first time, a photovoltaic plant is participating in this market, marking an important step towards the decarbonization of the national electricity system (SEN) and making this market more competitive, potentially leading to lower prices. EDP remains committed to excellence and innovation in the energy sector. #RenewableEnergy #GridStability #Innovation #EDP #REN #PV #portugal Nuno Oliveira Edward Martinez ---
