Good business is GREAT for everyone, and Lithuania’s EV charging station expansion model is proving the point. There are challenges in charging station infrastructure development to be sure. Development, innovation, and regulatory development are critical to the growth of the EV market in the US and abroad. Good on Lithuania for setting a great model for exploration. #transportation #infrastructure #ev

Record Breaking Bridge Near Completion. In April, the Bridge of National Unity will be completed near Sátoraljaújhely (eastern Hungary), connecting Szár and Vár Hills. The cable-stayed bridge is over 700 meters long and will be held up by six cable ropes. Hungary can write itself into the record books, as reported by Magyar Nemzet based on a Világgazdaság report. The Bridge of National Unity, designed to be a tourist attraction, is nearing completion. Utilizing this technology, it is not only the longest bridge of its kind in Hungary, but also in the world. The plan for the Bridge of National Unity was ready years ago, with the aim of setting a world record for the rope bridge in Sátoraljaújhely, which has a population of 14,000. Initially, it seemed like an achievable feat, but then unexpected competition emerged from the Czech Republic. The original plans for the bridge in Dolni Morava were to be longer than its Hungarian counterpart, creating doubts about Hungary’s potential world record. However, it was later revealed that the Czech engineers had included the fixed, double-sided ground walkway of the bridge in the total length. The Bridge of National Unity, featuring large glass panels in the middle, is expected to be completed by April, with visitors able to walk across it by the beginning of summer.

Connectivity has the power to transform travel—and save lives. The Roxas Transport Terminal in Palawan used to struggle with unreliable internet, making it hard for travellers to access real-time information, navigate, or stay connected. Thanks to Kacific's collaboration with the Department of Information and Communications Technology and our partner Stellarsat Solutions Inc, affordable satellite broadband technology has been installed, providing fast and reliable internet. Now, travellers can enjoy smooth communication, better navigation, and improved safety with quicker emergency response times. This upgrade not only improves the travel experience but also strengthens the community's resilience for the future.

Portable Power Stations, also known as Charging Stations - in what situations can they help you? These devices can be useful when you are away from home on a camping trip, when you have a power cut at home, or when you are at a remote location where there is no power supply. How do these devices work? How much does it cost? ACC Distribution expert Andrius Miltakis told Delfi Lietuva what makes these devices special and how to choose them.

I can't wait to see this technology in Turkey, it will bring significant changes even in the electric vehicle infrastructure that we are just transitioning to. https://lnkd.in/d4uJQezr

⚡ Klaus-Erik Pilar, Country Manager of Sunly Estonia, spoke at the Energy Conference organized by Eesti Päevaleht about gaining local communities' agreement for the development of wind farms. One approach is a windmill fee imposed by law, but Pilar noted that this alone does not solve all issues. Some people are highly motivated by it, while others are not affected at all. The amounts received vary greatly and depend on the number of households covered by the windmill fee. For instance, in some Sunly projects, the fee per household is 300 euros per year, while in others, it amounts to 3,000 euros. Nevertheless, Pilar acknowledges that wind farms have an impact on local residents, even if it's only visual.

Exciting developments at Estonian Air Navigation Services (EANS) as we move forward with modernizing our air surveillance systems to enable the construction of higher offshore wind farms in the Gulf of Riga and on Estonian islands. This project is a critical step in supporting Estonia's energy security and advancing green energy production. Historically, air surveillance restrictions have limited wind farm development due to potential interference with radar systems. Now, with new compensatory measures and cutting-edge technology, we're ensuring both the safety of Estonian airspace and the growth of renewable energy, including wind turbines up to 400 meters tall. This dual-use €5.1 million project, fully funded by the EU's NextGenerationEU recovery and resilience fund, involves strategic partnerships with Indra Sistemas, Thales Italia, and local Estonian firms regarding civil works. We are exchanging secondary surveillance radar, expanding and upgrading WAM system, implementing ADS-B and integating air force radar data to ensure heightened situational awareness for air traffic controllers. As the project manager, I’m proud to say that with agreements signed and work already underway, we’re on track for completion by Q1 2026. This initiative not only reinforces our commitment to safe, efficient air traffic control but also contributes to Estonia's green transition. #AirTrafficManagement #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #NextGenerationEU #Innovation #Renewables #Estonia
