In May 2022, the Esbjerg Declaration was established by the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and the Prime Ministers of Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The declaration outlines the strategy for the countries to work in harmony with one another to co-develop 150GW of offshore wind […]
France plans to undergo a monumental surge in renewable energy production through solar and wind energy, as outlined by French President Emmanuel Macron in February 2022. The plan is spear headed by a 40GW target through 50 offshore wind farms. This represents a substantial increase compared to the initial 8.75GW by 2028 target outlined in […]
In May 2022, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store announced the ambitious plans for Norway to become one of the leading global producers of wind energy. Norway aims to construct 30GW of offshore wind by 2040, with licensing rounds for sites due to be released starting from 2025. This increase will nearly double the country’s […]
Sweden has experienced substantial growth in the development of wind energy in recent years. According to the Swedish Wind Energy Association, wind accounts for 20% of Sweden’s electricity with a current installed capacity of 12.8GW. This is predicted to grow to 17GW by 2024, thanks to the Electricity Certificate System, which was formed to accelerate […]
In 2020, wind-generated electricity accounted for 7% of Italy’s total energy demand. In order to achieve the country’s national energy and climate plan (NECP), significant growth in the wind market will be required to reach 30% of energy sourced from renewable energy by 2030. Additionally, the NECP target is to produce 19.3GW of wind energy […]
The Italian solar market has not experienced the rapid growth seen in other southern European countries such as Spain and Portugal due to the expiration of government incentives in 2013. However, recent government policies have been implemented which will emphasize the development of the solar market. The Italian government announced their goal for 55% of […]
Solar energy is a key pillar of the European renewable energy transformation. In countries with higher sun exposure, photovoltaic panels yield higher returns than in countries with less sun. Hence, sun-rich Portugal is a perfect spot for the creation of solar parks. In this article, we are introducing three interesting investors that acquire whole PV […]
Floating offshore wind energy is a concept that has been around for years. However, recently this technological advancement has moved from prototype state to first large-scale real world projects. The main benefit of floating offshore projects is that it enables the creation of wind parks in areas with higher sea depths. In this article, we […]
As the European Union has set the high goal of becoming climate neutral by 2050, and to achieve a 32% share of renewable energy in total energy consumption by 2030, the investment field is as buzzing as ever. While states are highly involved in investing in the development and construction of renewable energy sites as […]
The world is in the midst of a worldwide crisis: the global warming. Greenhouse gases are the biggest drivers of climate change, one of which is carbon dioxide. The combustion of coal, crude oil and even natural gas for energy produces carbon dioxide and therefore highly contributes to global warming. At the same time, energy […]
