Germany continues to expand the share of renewable energy in the power grid – solar energy plays a crucial role here. Accordingly, the existence of project developers with expertise in the solar sector is essential. The Rhine-Main area is one of the most important metropolitan regions in Germany – the cities of Frankfurt am Main, […]
Wind energy is also on the rise in France. While Europe’s largest country in terms of area has promising conditions for onshore and offshore wind farms, especially due to its windy coastal regions, France still lags behind other European countries with about 81 offshore wind farms (in Germany, for example, there are already 1500 turbines). […]
Île-de-France is one of the 18 regions in France. The largest country in Europe in terms of area is making great efforts to expand solar energy – for example, in 2022 it was decided that larger parking lots will be equipped with solar roofs as standard. Solar energy is therefore becoming an increasingly important topic […]
Poland’s heavy reliance on coal, which in 2017 provided 80% of the country’s electricity has hampered the nation’s progress in achieving the EU’s climate neutrality goals. In 2020, Poland failed to meet the 15% target of electricity supplied from renewable sources as the country reported only 10.75%. Despite failing to meet the goals, Poland did […]
Whilst storage solutions are more commonly paired with solar projects due to their more consistent energy output, several wind turbine manufacturers have attempted to couple storage solutions to their turbines with varying degrees of success. Attempts to partner the two date back to 2012 and continue to the present day to improve the reliability of […]
Battery storage projects have undergone considerable growth in recent years, in 2019 the industry was estimated to have grown 57% year on year and will continue to do so as the globe undergoes a large-scale energy transition. In 2020, it was predicted that up to 7.2GW of residential battery projects will be constructed by 2024. […]
The combination of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict coupled with the need to tackle climate change has led to large-scale investment in renewable energy development such as wind, solar and hydro. For renewable sources to be an alternative to fossil fuels, considerable investments in storage projects are required to store excess for power supply when production […]
In July 2008, one of the six projects included in the annex of the Paris Declaration was the “Alternative Energies: Mediterranean Solar Plan” which aimed to develop 20GW by 2020. The ultimate goal of the plan was to provide the opportunity for Euro-Mediterranean cooperation and to meet the global energy demands. The plans helped kick-start […]
A report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) outlined the considerable progress Spain achieved in their goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The report highlights the progress Spain has made on their mission to increase electricity production following the IEA’s initial report in 2015 which demonstrated the problems the country has as their […]
In April 2022, the UK offshore wind sector welcomed the announcement of ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Energy Security Strategy. The plan is to increase offshore wind development to 50GW by the year 2030, including a sub-target of 5GW for floating wind projects and 10GW for hydrogen. In order to achieve this target, the British government […]
