#ICYMI USTDA Senior Advisor for Climate, Partnerships and Innovation Eric Haxthausen was at #REplus24 and battery energy storage systems or “BESS,” was a hot topic of conversation.   USTDA’s #GlobalClimatePartnership is leading the way, supporting the deployment of innovative climate-smart U.S. technologies to meet the infrastructure goals of our partners in emerging economies. Read about a recent USTDA-funded BESS project that will help facilitate the integration of renewable power into Zambia’s grid: https://lnkd.in/gsVAezBS #BESS #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy

The Department of Energy (DOE) prioritizes end-user aggregation and alternative replacement power options as key elements in the revised Green Energy Option Program (GEOP) rules. This was raised during the last leg of the Choosing Renewables conference series that culminated in Cagayan de Oro City last 28-29 August 2024 with economic zones, electric cooperatives, and distribution utilities in the region.

We (as European society) cannot let go these opportunities without making a collective effort to accelerate energy transition! #energytransition #geothermal #ccs #crm #sustainability

Want to know how European and UK energy consumers could save a staggering €44 billion PER ANNUM through lower electricity prices as well as >250 million tonnes of Carbon, have a look at the below. Great to be part of this event with Breakthrough Energy and Cleantech for Europe where we launched our report on the benefits of greater integration of the UK and European energy systems to aid decarbonisation. The benefits above are created if the UK and Europe drove greater coordination in developing the infrastructure required to decarbonise. See the link to the report below if you want to know more. #decarbonisation #offshorewind Baringa Matthew Grant Vladimir Parail

🔥 Two years after the REPowerEU Plan, the EU Commission is boosting renewable energy deployment with new recommendations and streamlined permitting procedures (https://lnkd.in/eC-9CHt6). This initiative enhances the EU's renewable energy framework, promoting rapid deployment of clean technologies and reinforcing industrial competitiveness. Key updates include simplified permit processes, designated acceleration areas, and improved auction designs. This effort aligns with the EU's 2030 renewable energy targets and the European Green Deal. 🌍 The GSEU - Geological Service for Europe and EuroGeoSurveys communities strongly support the strategy to boost demand for clean technologies made in Europe. And they emphasize the crucial role of sustainably exploiting subsurface energy potential to achieve Green Deal and Net Zero goals. ❗Read our full statement and let us know your thoughts! #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #EuropeanGreenDeal #CriticalRawMaterials #EnergyTransition #Geothermal

The importance of the #Greece-#Egypt GREGY electrical interconnection for Greece and Europe was emphasized by Mr. John Karydas, Head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Unit of Copelouzos Group and CEO of the company ELICA, which is developing the #GREGY project, from the stage of the Power and Gas Forum which was successfully organized by energypress.gr for the 5th consecutive year. Mr. Karydas spoke about the multiple and important energy, environmental, economic and geopolitical benefits that will arise for Greece and Europe, from the implementation of GREGY, transforming our country to an important green energy hub, with a leading role in the Southeastern Europe and East Mediterranean. GREGY, by transporting 100% #green #energy, will help to achieve faster the goals set by Europe for green transition, tackling climate crisis and diversifying energy supply sources, increasing our energy security. The GREGY project, as Mr. Karydas emphasized, will be the cornerstone for the creation of North-South energy corridors, for the transfer of green energy, which is a central strategy of Europe, changing the energy map of our region.

On 12th June 2024, key stakeholders from Ireland and Scotland gathered to advance offshore wind energy. The event, titled "Advancing the Offshore Wind Opportunity: Bridging Irish and Scottish Perspectives," focused on promoting collaboration between the two countries. The primary areas of focus included offshore wind supply chains, research, development, and innovation (RDI) and skills, as well as regulation, planning, and infrastructure. Attendees included Peter Burke TD, Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment; Eamon Ryan TD, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications; Dara Calleary TD, Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation; and Gillian Martin MSP, Scotland’s Minister for Climate Action. Goals: -Promote collaboration between Ireland and Scotland. -Explore joint initiatives and partnerships. -Share expertise in offshore wind energy. -Maximise economic benefits for both countries. This initiative is part of Ireland's "Powering Prosperity – Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy," which aims to create 5,000 jobs by 2030 and achieve 37GW of offshore renewable energy by 2050. Key Ambitions: -Develop a vibrant offshore wind sector. -Establish an Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence. -Build industrial hubs and Green Energy Industrial Parks. -Collaborate internationally to drive growth and innovation. The event schedule included: -12th June: Policy roundtable discussions in Dublin, focusing on strategic planning, regulatory frameworks, and infrastructure development to support offshore wind projects. -13th June: Industry showcase event in Cork, highlighting cutting-edge technologies, successful case studies, and opportunities for collaboration within the offshore wind sector. This collaboration signifies a major step towards achieving ambitious offshore wind targets and fostering economic growth in the renewable energy sector.

🔋⚡ #EuroGeoSurveys and GSEU - Geological Service for Europe project are excited to contribute to the EU's call for evidence on Renewable Energy Acceleration Areas! 🌍🌱 Our project, supported by Horizon Europe, is focused on optimising offshore windfarm siting to drive renewable energy deployment. We're advocating for strategic maritime spatial planning and leveraging existing data for sustainable coexistence of marine activities. 💡💨 Our efforts aim to accelerate the identification of renewables acceleration areas and facilitate knowledge transfer among EU Member States. 🔗Check out our detailed feedback here 👉 https://bit.ly/49OHmCp. Let's pave the way for a greener future together 💚💪 #RenewableEnergy #EU #MaritimeSpatialPlanning #Sustainability #HorizonEurope

The North Sea is one of the world’s most promising regions for offshore wind power, which provides the opportunity for the European Union and the United Kingdom to meet shared energy and climate challenges through co-operation. This excellent and timely report from Baringa and Matthew Grant's team provides a comprehensive analysis of the current barriers for offshore wind deployment and offers recommendations to address them. With the apparent rapprochement between the UK and EU, there is now a window of opportunity to collaborate and fully leverage the strategic advantages that the North Sea offers - helping to achieve the shared goals of energy security, decarbonisation and affordability. #energysecurity #infrastructure #decarbonisation #netzero

Coordination is critical to reaching clean power 2030 goals - between energy networks companies, the regulator, government, NESO and retailers - but let's not forget about our European neighbours. A Baringa report explores how moving beyond our borders can help unlock the pace we need to hit offshore wind ambitions. #cleanenergy #netzero #transmission #distribution energy #Europe
