Renewables growth goes from strength to strength! ✨ 2024 has been a record breaking year for Copper's renewables portfolio and we're proud to be supporting developers all over the UK to bring forward critical renewable projects and deliver tens of gigawatts of clean energy: ◼️ Over 30 solar and storage projects ◼️ A dozen onshore wind projects ◼️ Four offshore wind projects 🔋 Launched the Back Battery Storage campaign 🎤 Spoken at multiple renewables conferences, including All Energy, Global Offshore Wind, Solar and Storage, Future Energy Wales 📖 Published our Climate Pathways research, our All Energy public perceptions report and the Power On campaign report in collaboration with RSK 💬 Hosted industry roundtables on solar, onshore wind in England, and battery storage #Renewables #Energy #NetZero #Communication #Project

Huge thank you to Solar Power Portal UK and Molly Green for featuring insights from the Infrabee team on why evolving the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme is critical for the UK to achieve its clean energy goals 🌍 As the renewable energy sector expands at a record pace, it’s clear that our current physical and regulatory frameworks are struggling to keep up. With ambitious targets like tripling offshore wind, doubling onshore wind, and quintupling solar installations by 2030, evolving the CfD process will be essential to sustain growth, protect investors, and meet our net zero commitments.

News from France following the publication of their energy and climate plan which states they want to almost double their consumption of renewable energy by 2030. They will do this by boosting renewables' share of total energy consumption to 570 TWh, including onshore wind, hydropower, and solar photovoltaic capacity.

💡 Achieving the #3xRenewables target requires global renewable capacity to reach 11.2 TW by 2030 and renewables have become the default source of least-cost new power generation. According to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s latest report, in 2023, the global weighted average cost of electricity from newly commissioned renewable projects across most technologies fell, for ➡ Solar PV by 12%, ➡Onshore wind by 3%, ➡Offshore wind by 7%, ➡Concentrating solar power (CSP) by 4% and ➡Hydropower by 7%.

Australia is building more renewables than ever. It’s still not enough Australia’s renewable energy transition has reached record speed this year, with more wind, solar and battery projects either being built or in their final stages of testing before delivering power to the grid than in any year. But the clean energy building blitz is still falling short of the pace required for Australia to remain within striking distance of the Albanese government’s targets to double the share of renewable energy in the grid from 40 per cent to 82 per cent by 2030. “There is a real risk that replacement generation, storage and transmission may not be available in time when coal plants retire,” Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) chief Daniel Westerman said earlier this year.
