Who said the sun never shines in Brussels? 😉 As a welcome to new and returning MEPs and their staff, kicking off a new political cycle in Brussels this week, we at SolarPower Europe thought it was only fitting that we brought the sunshine ☀ (because, you know, it's…
Net-zero transition will deliver at least ‘£164bn in benefits’ to UK | @Josh_Gabbatiss w/ comment from @SamFankhauser @ret_ward Read here: buff.ly/4fWqMo8
Thank you, @SolarWalburga, CEO of @SolarPowerEU, for a great meeting & excellent cooperation we’ve had over the past 5 years. You played an important role during the #energycrisis & the sector has shown impressive growth, with 56GW solar capacity installed across the EU in 2023.
Martin Wolf in FT: "A hundred years from now, people are likely to remember our era as the time when we knowingly bequeathed a destabilised climate. The market will not fix this global market failure." ft.com/content/b2b6fb…
Will we slash global emissions through electrification? Look to China - now dominating the global story. Some *stonking* stats in this piece. And a warning about the West’s protectionist reaction. Brilliant from @adam_tooze with data from @EmberClimate open.substack.com/pub/adamtooze/…
☀️Very insightful meeting with CEOs of the solar sector companies represented in @SolarPowerEU ✅Rest assured – your message is received, loud & clear. ⚡️We have the same goals of achieving the #EUGreenDeal, but also boosting the economy & manufacturing here in Europe.
#Hydropower is an indispensable part of Europe’s #energytransition & achieving #climateneutrality. Thanks to flexibility & large storage capacity, hydropower plants are key technologies complementing variable #renewables. Today, I visited @Statkraft’s 300MW hydroplant in Vinje.
Germany heading for record employment in renewables industry For solar, the lion’s share of workers in the sector are installers Trade measures to protect solar manufacturing (activity not labor intensive) will slowdown deployment and reduce jobs. 🔆🇩🇪 euractiv.com/section/energy…
Our forecast of the atmospheric CO2 rise for 2024 is out 🧵 To limit global warming to 1.5°C, the build-up of CO2 in the air would need to stop very soon But with a rise of 2.84 ± 0.54 ppm expected this year, there's no sign that the CO2 rise is slowing metoffice.gov.uk/research/clima…
These remarkable graphs from @jburnmurdoch, who I spoke to at 8.43 on @BBCr4today, show monumental, sudden, devastating social changes, which have civilisational consequences It is just astonishing how little attention the complete transformation of young adulthood gets
The global renewable energy sector employed 13.7 M people directly as well as indirectly in 2022. The number has been growing 📈 over the past decade, from 7.3 M in 2012, thanks to increased investments in more countries. Read @IRENA - @ILO report: bit.ly/3RCG4EI
Pretty cool chart from my team at BloombergNEF. In 2012, the standard solar module was multicrystalline silicon, 15.4% efficient and costing $1.09/W in 2023 $. In 2023, standard is mono PERC, efficiency 21.3%, price $0.13/W.
☀ The EU's total solar fleet now amounts to 263 GW - equivalent to powering 70+ million homes with solar! 🥇Germany🇩🇪 has the largest fleet, with over 82 GW installed 🥈 Next is Spain🇪🇸 with 35.6 GW Download the report👉 solarpowereurope.org/insights/outlo…
The United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪, host of #COP28, is 1 of 28 #Petrostates that risk losing more than half their expected income from #FossilFuels by 2040 as the #EnergyTransition accelerates buff.ly/46K9y7Q
The @SolarPowerEU team are ready to kick off #SustainableSolarEU ☀🌱 Today, industry professionals from across the Sustainability and solar PV sectors are gathering to discuss the future of solar sustainability! Stay tuned 🟢🟡
This Wednesday we published two key rulings on misleading and environmental claims. One ruling on a car manufacturer making claims about the power source for its hybrid vehicle, and the other one on an oil company exaggerating the reduction of their carbon footprint. We've got…
.@AllisonPearson has shared her thoughts on the #ElectricVehicle transition in today's @Telegraph Been a while since I've seen an article with quite so many inaccuracies and unevidenced claims So, here's a not-so-little thread to debunk some of the things that have been said
⚡️LEAK - Electricity market reform⚡️ In the draft "general approach", 🇪🇸 presidency proposes to limit CFD to investments in "new" power-generating facilities. More details in @ContexteEnergie ⤵️ contexte.com/actualite/ener… 1/2
