The European Union (EU) has hit a crossover point. For the first time in history, solar power and wind power have combined for more electricity generation than fossil fuels in the EU. Last month, the two core renewables of the new clean energy era achieved that historic crossover point. New … [continued]
The war in Ukraine has been a wake-up call for Europe’s energy needs, to say the least. Even though Europe has been aggressive in its expansion of solar power due to increased renewable energy ambitions and lower cost, much more can be done. The need to reduce dependence on Russian … [continued]
European Transition to Renewable Energy is Impossible without the EU
After last-minute overnight negotiations, the European Union has announced it is increasing its renewable energy target from 27% to 32%, a move it describes as “ambitious,” but which environmental campaigners have described variously as “inadequate,” “paltry,” “far too low,” and a “spectacular failure.”
Western Europe is looking to invest $133.7 billion in smart grid infrastructure by 2027, as it seeks to update its grid system to 21st century standards while maintaining itself as a top smart grid region on the world stage.
Renewable energy can be developed in Europe at significantly lower cost than assumed in the modelling assessments accompanying the “Clean Energy for All Europeans”-Package.
Prospective members of the European Union have agreed to honour the targets to enhance renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that were recently agreed to by the EU for 2030. Balkan countries have pledged to meet the targets to reduce GHG emissions by 40% by 1990 levels, … [continued]
As with electric vehicle news, there’s simply too much big solar energy and energy efficiency news for CleanTechnica to cover it all. So I’m back to doing some news roundups so that I can at least share with all of you all of the big or interesting stories I see. Enjoy! … [continued]
