Renewables Grid Initiative

We just started! 🎉 Our and TransnetBW GmbH’s #ImmersivePower Conference and Fair is diving into the use of extended reality for energy infrastructure - with the first panel on how it can help boost public acceptance and understanding!

🗓 2 days to go until #ThrivingSeas2024! RGI, OCEaN and WindEurope's conference will gather experts from across Europe to spotlight needed actions to achieve #offshore wind, #grid and #biodiversity targets in harmony. What can you expect from our full-day event? 🔹 Keynotes from Tinne Van der Straeten and Huub den Rooijen CBE! 🔹 Panel discussions on a #nature- and people-positive offshore energy transition and priorities for the next generation of European decision makers. 🔹 Our 'Sailing through Solutions' fair - featuring 20 projects on topics ranging from maritime spatial planning to environmental #data collection, multiuse of infrastructure, #nature-inclusive design, and nature #restoration. 🔹Networking, opportunities to explore OCEaN publications and infographics, and a few surprises! 💡 Secure your spot 👉 https://lnkd.in/etv8evAf

🌊 OCEaN - North and Baltic Seas is proud to launch a new report focused on avoidance and minimisation measures for offshore wind and grid infrastructure. RGI and OCEaN Members have identified 80 measures through which wind and grid developers can minimise potential environmental impacts on marine ecosystems and welcome you to explore our report summarising this work alongside a database of the collected measures! The report outlines the methodology used, provides a summary of the identified measures, highlights knowledge gaps and areas where mitigation efforts are still lacking, identifies ‘best practice’ measures, and provides recommendations on how to improve the deployment of offshore wind and grids to achieve even better outcomes for nature.🍃 📣 Read OCEaN’s #MarineMitigation report now 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/evxpRSzm 💡 Explore OCEaN’s database of avoidance & minimisation measures 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/efrJVgZE

You don't want to miss ⚛️ 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒔, the first session of our three-part webinar series – #ConnectingEnergies2024 – designed to equip you with the tools to advocate for a #decarbonised energy future. Our expert speakers will guide you through the complexities: 🔹 Dr.-Ing. Bartosz Rusek, Manager of Tech. Innovations at Amprion GmbH 🔹 Jochen Kreusel, President of the Board at T&D Europe 🔌 𝑮𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒊𝒆𝒔 | Essential components of electricity grids, focusing on substations, transformers, overhead lines, and underground cables that enable efficient electricity transport across regions. 🌍 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 | Tech used to integrate renewable energy into grid infrastructure, including smart grids, digitalisation, and advanced monitoring systems—key elements for modernising and decarbonising the grid. 🔮 𝑰𝒏𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 | Current challenges and future trends in grid infrastructure, such as grid flexibility, real-time data processing, and necessary upgrades to handle renewable energy sources.

You may have heard of companion planting 🌿 🍅 but have you heard of compatible occupation? 🌳 ⚡   Portuguese, DSO E-REDES’ 🇵🇹 plan to #IntegrateNature using compatible occupations: land-uses that deviate from traditional fuel management laws in Portugal, yet still effectively reduce fire risks while adding value for local communities.   In 2022, E-REDES collaborated on a study to identify 107 plant species ideal for Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) due to their ability to: 🍎 Generate local socio-economic benefits, like fruit harvesting or wood sales. 🔥 Minimise flammability and combustibility risks. 🐝 Boost #biodiversity and deliver essential ecosystem services like soil formation and erosion prevention.   Discover more about E-REDES’ innovative and sustainable practices in our IVM Best Practice Guide! 👉 https://lnkd.in/exdjSD-M
