As the buzz settles post the conclusion of the #G7 under the Italian Presidency, we at Zhero are proud that the final #statement included a key reference to #interconnectors, highlighting their role as a bridge between Africa and the EU. The statement emphasized Africa and the Mediterranean's potential in providing large-scale, competitive new #sustainable power generation that can on one side support African countries growth and positioning in green energy and on the other provide strong contribution to global decarbonization goals. Furthermore it did "support the development of greater interconnectivity to help reduce the cost of the energy transition and actively support the acceleration of private investments including public to private partnerships". This statement follows strong institutional support that a project like #Medlink is receiving from Italian and European institution as it fully encapsulate and represents all the principles above. Proud to give our contribution to #energytransition and the economic growth both in Africa and Europe. #PPWS #MedLink

Zhero together with Sustainable Markets Initiative and Breakthrough Energy kicked off a roundtable discussion, on interconnectors at #ClimateWeekNYC. There is a massive need for new transmission lines to handle the massive buildout of renewable power needed to reach net zero and meet growing demand for electricity. Interconnectors have transformative potential - private and public leaders and decision - makers must work together to unlock that potential. Discussion covered lessons learned through past projects, the role of public-private partnerships in accelerating investment, emerging significance of offshore solutions in areas such as the #Mediterranean, and market & policy signals required to accelerate developments. Grateful to Alessandra Pasini, Maria Robinson, Dennis Jeffery, Miguel Angel Prado Balboa, Michael Skelly, Shashank Sane, Christina Hayes, Chandrasekar Govindarajalu, Atul Arya and Campbell Howe for prioritizing this critical conversation during a busy #ClimateWeek in NY. Many thanks to James Hewett for moderating the round table, Andrea Pederzoli, Tanya Ristoff, M.A. and Tanya Agarwal for making this event possible. We look forward to the expected global grid targets to be announced at #COP29 #Interconnectors #EnergyGrids #PPWS

Last week Global Energy Transition Congress and Exhibition Zhero brought its perspectives for a #sustainable and #affordable transition in two sessions moderated by Eithne Treanor, Media Trainer and Communications Expert On Monday our Co-founder & President Alessandra Pasini shared its views on how to address the #complexities of developing new infrastructure for cleaner energy sources by #engagingearly on with local communities, have inclusive decision-making and clear communication around #benefits for those communities. On Wednesday our Co-founder & Vice Chairman Paddy Padmanathan delivered a #keynote speech around the importance of developing water production/treatment plants and infrastructure for both the #transition as well as to address #globalsouth energy and utility poverty. #ppws, #zhero, #inclusivetransition

@Zhero participated in the Africa Energy Forum 2024, the 26th year of this annual gathering this year focusing on "Energy Systems of the Future – Balancing Africa's Needs with Global Goals." last week in Barcelona with Paddy Padmanathan, Co-founder & Vice Chairman moderating a panel on how to make green hydrogen projects bankable. While Africa, a continent that is grossly underserved  in terms of energy supplies will need significant expansion of energy production capacity for its own needs, and to industrialize to capture its full potential, the intrinsic renewable resources available across the continent is so vast, it can also be a major exporter of competitive green energy to the world. On the sidelines of the event Paddy Padmanathan and Marco Bartolini, CFO of Zhero BV had a full agenda of bilateral meetings with technology providers and project finance banks in addition to the most important meeting with the Tunisia Energy Secretary of State Ouael Chouchene and Director General Belhassen Chiboub to discuss the progress of Medlink Tunisia where TotalEnergies is a strategic co-development partner. #ppws #interconnectors

Last week was marked by two key achievements for our company. On Wednesday we successfully closed Zhero second fundraising round for €60 million with Azimut Group, Baker Hughes, TotalEnergies and UniCredit to accelerate the development of our green projects in Europe and Africa ♻️. Zhero Europe and TotalEnergies also signed a preliminary agreement, subject to completion conditions, for a minority investment of TotalEnergies in Medlink Tunisia, our #electricinterconnection between Tunisia and Northern Italy. For more information read the press release here 👉: https://lnkd.in/dJy7iRJK On Sunday #G7ITALIA 2024 🇮🇹 in Turin we hosted a roundtable on “Mediterranean and the EU: Decarbonization, Growth and the Global South”, with the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security of Italy Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, the President of COP29 Azerbaijan Mukhtar Babayev, the CEO of COP29 Azerbaijan Elnur Sultanov and the Director General of International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Francesco La Camera, alongside key industry, policy and finance stakeholders. The event was moderated by Bloomberg The discussion highlighted the key role the Mediterranean can have for Europe both for #e-fuels and #electricinterconnectors and the growing importance of #publictoprivate cooperation for socially responsible and affordable transition combined with security and diversification of supply. Thank you Intesa Sanpaolo for hosting us in the beautiful Gallerie d’Italia! What a week! 🚀 🚀 #planetweek, #PPWS, #electricinterconnectors, #efuels, TES

Thanks to RENMAD - Energy Events for inviting me alongside Alessandro Bargetto from SUSI Partners and Riccardo Lenzi from Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure Plc to this very engaging discussion on #energystorage investments in Italy.   It was great to hear from the growing BESS community and share opinions on how #flexibility will have to be supported and fostered in a fully decarbonized electricity market.   I had the chance to share Zhero's ambitions and vision on key elements such as #AI applied to #energytrading and the kind of sophistication required to properly manage battery storage assets.   Italy is a one-of-a-kind market for BESS, with the new #MACSE regulation starting to take shape and a potential #balancingmarket with deep merchant potentials.   Thanks Carlo Montella for stimulating such a great discussion! #zhero #bess #ppws #batterystorage #energytransition

Thank to ITS Move and VALORE ITALIA Impresa Sociale for organizing an interesting discussion "Think Smart Mobility" where Zhero participated with Veronica Taiocchi

Zhero with Daniele Moriconi will be attending the Energy Storage Summit in London from Feb 20th – 21st at Novotel London West, Hammesmith. We are looking forward to engaging with professionals from all over the world interested in sharing their views on this exiting and booming sector. #BESS #sustainability #innovation #decarbonization #PPWS #renewables #EnergyStorageSummit
