Exciting renewable energy news! The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released its latest report, which shows a remarkable surge in global renewable energy capacity growth in 2023. A staggering 50% increase in renewable capacity additions, representing an unprecedented 510GW, as compared to 2022. We are committed to playing our part in this global energy revolution. In 2023, we registered a renewable energy capacity growth of 8%, compared to the previous year, which allowed us to achieve the impressive mark of 24 GW in total installed renewable energy capacity. Let's continue to pave the way for a sustainable energy future! Learn more about our strategy and its focus on renewables: https://lnkd.in/edzgVihs #EDPWeChooseEarth #AllGreen2030 #EnergyTransition

Don't miss Lucas Sadler, VP of Sales - Asia Pacific, at the Smart Energy Council's Renewable Energy Storage Summit, in Melbourne on August 11th at 1:45 PM. Lucas is featured on a panel highlighting "The Importance of Flexible Storage" - With renewable energy's rapid ascent, specifically solar and wind making up over 82% of #renewables, we grapple with their intermittent nature. The solution lies in flexible storage solutions, storing energy when it's abundant and providing it when scarce. #EnergyVault customized solutions include gravity, battery, and green hydrogen #energystorage hardware, all backed by our EVS™, a technology-agnostic energy management system software. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of the conversation that inspires action and innovation. Together, we can envision a future that not only embraces renewable energy but takes decisive steps towards a #sustainable world environmentally-responsible world.

Join the RENEWABLE REVOLUTION  The International Energy Agency, the global energy watchdog, predicted renewables would provide half of the world's electricity by 2030. #Solarpanelinstallation #RenewableRevolution #Renewableenergy International Energy Agency (IEA)

Playing a crucial role in storing surplus energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) efficiently discharges energy during peak demand or limited renewable supply periods. Renowned for their versatility, dependability, and efficient electricity storage and delivery capabilities, BESS is extensively utilised across various industries as a dedicated backup power solution for microgrids, ensuring operations can run uninterrupted. We look forward to seeing more BESS-only sites to reduce reliance on traditional grid systems and promote renewable energy adoption on a larger scale. #renewableenergy #sustainability #southaustralia #solar #energy #australia #batterystorage

🌍💡 Will stopping energy infrastructure projects boost renewable energy growth? It's not that straightforward. The reality is, renewable energy development, like solar panels and wind turbines, relies on our existing energy systems, as well as materials made from oil and gas. Discover the whole story behind this common misconception and learn how renewable and traditional energy sources work together. 🌱🛠️ https://lnkd.in/drSX_wqH #EnergyTransition #Renewables #SustainableFuture

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), a leading global organisation dedicated to promoting the widespread adoption of renewable energy, has just released a new report on the latest global energy statistics. The report provides datasets on power generation capacity from 2014 to 2023, actual power generation from 2014 to 2022, and renewable energy balances for over 150 countries and regions for 2021-2022. Among other noteworthy statistics, it reveals that by the end of 2023, renewable energy capacity accounted for 3.9 TW, or 43%, of the 9.0 TW global total capacity, which includes non-renewables. This represents an unprecedented 14% increase from 2022. This is great news, however much more work still needs to take place to center community voices and benefits in all scales of renewable energy development and to rapidly reduce emissions to support a safer future for all.
