Building new infrastructure will be a key part of Europe’s energy transition. But we shouldn't race to construct new pylons and power lines. Hidden in plain sight, a significant amount of additional capacity lies within the existing power grid. Unlocking it would reduce the amount of new transmission required to meet net zero goals - and the time and investment this incurs. At Neara, we’re supporting utilities to find latent capacity in the grid, enabling more renewable energy to be connected both safely and at a faster rate. We cannot afford to overlook the wasted potential of our existing infrastructure any longer. Harnessing it will help us reach Net Zero sooner, and at a fraction of the cost. https://lnkd.in/es7hXa6Z #NetZero #pylons #powerlines #AI #climatetech #powergrid

In the OpEd titled 'India's Energised Future: Major Hits for Renewable Energy in Interim Budget 2024,' Anjal Prakash, Clinical Associate Professor (Research), Bharti Institute of Public Policy, ISB writes that India's budgetary commitment to #solarenergy reflects a visionary approach centred on reform and performance. “The strategic focus of the green economy aligns with a larger vision for a greener and economically robust future,” he writes.

There's a lot to celebrate this week, with evidence of a huge growth in global and domestic offshore wind capacity, indications of the benefits that AI can bring to the energy markets, and the fact that the summer has finally arrived in London! 😎 Let us bring you up to speed with the latest news from the energy sector in this week's edition of the #EnergyTransition. #Ofgem #Netzero #EnergyTransition #CfDAllocation #CBAM #AI

A fascinating half-day meeting full of insights from leading experts into the need to up-grade the European #grid in order to #decarbonise, and how this needs to be achieved. Key takeaways were: • Need to triple the #EU grid size to provide the capacity required to meet decarbonisation targets • Overhead lines are not consentable in Europe at scale – so undergrounding is essential  • HVDC will be required for transmission grid – likely superconductors best option • 9x faster growth of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in next six years than in the past decade – mostly in the North Sea • Europe will need to invest €584bn by 2030 • Achieving integration of all #RenewableEnergy sources in the next fifteen years is going to be a huge challenge – it will need a ‘moonshot’ approach and acceptance that the rules need to change • Renewable #investment will only happen if the grid is there to deliver it – and vice versa • Governments are finally realising that grid is key to achieving #NetZero targets • Europe imported nearly €60bn per month of #Energy products in 2022 – switching to renewables will decrease reliance on other countries and save money   Speakers: Layla Sawyer, General of CurrENT Europe (Moderator)  John Fitzgerald, CEO of SuperNode Ltd  Professor Dirk Van Hertem, KU Leuven  Professor Lie Xu, University of Strathclyde  Dr Eoin Hodge, Chief Engineer, SuperNode Ltd  Antje Orths, Chief Engineer Energinet and Core Group Convenor ENTSO-E EU Eric Lecomte, DG Energy European Commission  Christian Kjaer, Chair of CurrENT Europe and SuperNode Ltd Chief Public Affairs Officer   Huge thanks to all the speakers and currENT, the organisers.

Europe has ambitious climate targets and it wants to reach them without becoming even more reliant on technologies produced by foreign powers, especially China. A new report by the EU Institute for Security Studies has identified four key technologies that have huge potential to both decarbonise the Europe's economy and promote its sovereignty. One of them, geothermal energy, is a personal favourite. We really ought to be harnessing more of the Earth's heat — it just makes sense. Mentioned: Lukas Trakimavičius Eavor Technologies Inc.
