We are thrilled to announce Béatrice Buffon, Chief Executive Officer of EDF Renewables North America, as a distinguished speaker at the 2024 Strategic Conference. EDF Renewables, a key player in the transition to a sustainable energy future, is at the forefront of addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapidly increasing global electricity demand. According to the IEA, this demand is expected to double by 2026, driven by the expansion of data centers, smart manufacturing, and reshoring of equipment production. Meeting this demand while maintaining a focus on reliability, affordability, and low-carbon power generation is critical. Don’t miss Ms. Buffon in her compelling session, “Balancing act: tackling demand disruption with sustainable and reliable supply” with top industry leaders as they delve into the high-level strategies for managing the complex balance between supply and demand in our rapidly evolving energy landscape. Expect a riveting discussion on breakthrough policies, innovative demand-side management, and the transformative roles of renewable and nuclear power. Also, uncover how natural gas can play a pivotal role in stabilising power demand fluctuations. Be part of this insightful exploration into pathways towards a net-zero future and pioneering sustainable energy solutions. 👉 Download the Strategic Conference Brochure: bit.ly/3S0TQjU 👉 Book your delegate pass: bit.ly/4apLGYJ #WorldUtilitiesCongress #EDFRenewables #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #NuclearPower #NetZero

In 2030, clean #hydrogen supply will roughly represent 10% of the overall market, only a fraction of the volume needed to reach the #decarbonization targets. However, the right frame conditions for accelerated growth need to be set until 2030, with respect to incentives for clean H2 use, infrastructure build out for H2 transport, and funding for the production scale up. 👉 The real capacity ramp up will need to take place in the “Roaring 2030s”. We may reach 1,000 GW of #electrolysis capacity by 2040 if we apply average growth rates of other energy technologies – solar, onshore & offshore wind, LNG, nuclear – to the clean hydrogen economy. 💡 Discover more in our study: https://bit.ly/3uMEsPu #RolandBerger Uwe Weichenhain

At Kpler Power Briefing Breakfast in London earlier this week, we explored key insights into the European #power market as winter approaches. Alessandro Armenia, Energy Analyst at Kpler, highlighted the short-term volatile outlook for gas prices and their role in setting power prices during winter. Amid positive signals from #hydro, #renewables, and #nuclear, the winter outlook presents tightnesses, highlighting the need for more hedging as renewables contend with lower profitability and higher volatility.

Here is a really interesting paper from Renaissance Fusion on the potential cost of fusion power plants, which would be competitive with solar by retrofitting old energy plants. https://lnkd.in/g6kWEsXz The main product of most fusion energy designs is heat. Which then can turn a turbine for electricity, be used for industrial purposes, etc. If you retrofit a decommissioned plant, you can save a ton of cost, according to their analysis. Their strategy could put the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) at 39 $/MWh and 51 $/MWh for a retrofitted fission plant and coal plant, respectively. For context, the LCOE of utility solar is between $30 and $180 globally. Of course it's still very early to know for sure, but great to consider in the meantime.

A great webinar conducted by Timera Energy!🙌 Discover the latest insights and trends driving the momentum in the exciting industry of German BESS.🇩🇪🔋 Why are the batteries at the center of every discussion in the power industry? Well, for once, we are doing so well with renewables that we need to game up with storage and do it well to handle their volatility. Well, we consider cross-market battery optimization, of course. 🤖📈 But that's all pretty obvious. On top of that, certain events from a geo-political angle and significant episodes in the European power market gave a spin to this momentum. For example, the German BESS revenue stack evolution is represented in the picture: 1) ancillary services prices spike due to fear of gas shortage in Europe over the winter time❄️ 2) France nuclear issues ⚛️, surging power and gas prices↗️ 3) opposite to number 2 4) picking a-FRR prices to compensate for the services while thermal was out of the picture due to low demand ↘️and high RES💚 Learn more about other factors here: 👉 https://hubs.la/Q02hk0VL0 #batterystorage #BESS #crossmarketoptimization #energytransition #powertrading

ATTEND THE ZOOM PRESENTATION & DISCUSSION OCTOBER 24, 2004 Global Energy Consumption Forecasting in the Age of Climate Change - Yogi Schulz - Read More: https://hubs.la/Q02VsZL40 Energy consumption forecasting has become more complex due to economic and population growth uncertainties. While the pace of the energy transition will not determine global energy consumption, it will determine the mix of various energy sources throughout the forecast period. Forecasting how the mix of various energy sources will evolve adds more complexity to forecasting. Yogi Schulz has over 40 years of experience in information technology in various industries. He writes for https://hubs.la/Q02VsWx-0, https://hubs.la/Q02VsSJF0, https://hubs.la/Q02VsStD0 and other trade publications. Yogi works extensively in the petroleum industry to select and implement financial, production revenue accounting, land & contracts, and geotechnical systems. He manages projects that arise from changes in business requirements, the need to leverage technology opportunities, and mergers. His specialties include IT strategy, web strategy, and systems project management. #energy #forecasting #oilgas #renewables #coal #nuclear #energyconsumption #energytransition

Fusion energy stands at the forefront of revolutionizing global energy consumption. The promise of limitless, clean energy through nuclear fusion has the potential to reshape the energy landscape, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. As we navigate the challenges of climate change and strive for a greener future, fusion energy emerges as a beacon of hope, presenting a game-changing solution to our energy needs. By harnessing the power of fusion, we can significantly reduce our reliance on finite resources like coal, oil, and gas, paving the way for a cleaner and more sustainable energy mix. The impact of fusion energy on global energy consumption could be monumental, leading to a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the harmful effects of climate change. This shift towards fusion energy has the potential to not only meet the growing energy demands of our expanding global population but also to do so in an environmentally responsible manner.
