The RE-INVEST 2024 aims to highlight India’s significant achievement in the renewable energy sector including manufacturing and deployment https://lnkd.in/dxhbC4iz #REINVEST2024 Prime Ministers Office Narendra Modi 

ICYMI Scottish Renewables shared a report before Christmas that shows just how significant the renewables sector is in Scotland for driving investment and growth. Their research – published in partnership with the University of Strathclyde's Fraser of Allander Institute – found that the industry and its supply chain supported more than 42,000 jobs and generated over £10.1 billion of output in 2021. This is key: our goal is that the renewable energy sites we build and develop help communities thrive and bring increased prosperity to the region. In Scotland, we have a pipeline of 1.5 GW of wind projects, with an additional 564 MW due to come online over the next couple of years –  which will bring significant benefits to the local communities and beyond throughout their lifetime of operation.

🚨 Breaking News in the Energy Storage World! 🚨 TCC Group Holdings is taking NHOA private, delisting it from Euronext Paris. This move promises to streamline decision-making and ramp up investments in energy storage. But what does this mean for the future of renewable energy and smart grids? Let's dive in! 🌍🔋 #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy #SmartGrids https://lnkd.in/dm5U_uFg As someone who's been closely following the energy sector, I can't help but recall the countless discussions about the challenges of balancing market expectations with long-term strategic goals. TCC's decision to delist NHOA seems like a bold step towards prioritizing innovation over short-term gains. Did you know that NHOA's shares peaked at €12.90 in December 2021? Now, TCC is offering €1.10 per share in a simplified Tender Offer. 🤯 What are your thoughts on this move? Do you think going private will truly benefit NHOA's ambitious energy storage projects?

Danielle Smith believes that ideology shouldn't trump common sense. Strange... Danielle and her party are currently jeopardizing billions in investment, hundreds of millions in municipal tax revenue, a reliable source of income for Alberta landowners and badly needed energy diversification, by protecting one tenth of one percent of agricultural land that would've been consumed by solar farms. Thanks David Dodge! Let's dig a little deeper. (Soil pun intended!) If a landowner wants to allow a portion of his land to be used for wind or solar energy, the provincial government is now saying "no" on Class 2 agricultural land. If a landowner doesn't want an oil well on his property, Alberta law says he isn't allowed to refuse. Does that seem fair? Wind turbines are widely spaced and are no impediment to ranching or growing crops, except for a small fenced in area around the turbine. Solar panels will take up a lot of space, but they provide shade for the soil and grazing animals. Planting native grasses and forbs throughout a solar installation will help rebuild soil and retain water. Shading will significantly reduce soil temperatures and also help retain moisture. A solar farm can be far better than a field baking in the hot sun during an extended drought. Southern Alberta's legendary winds may be a source of worry as dry soil blows away, or the wind can be a source of income for farmers and ranchers struggling with more hostile summers and rising insurance costs. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past? As Alberta landowners continue to get the short end of the stick with orphaned and abandoned wells (abandoned wells exceeding 170,000 and counting), rural municipalities want to ensure the energy industry of the future doesn't do the same thing. As a result, the province is going to demand cleanup bonds from renewable energy developers, but the operators of over 300,000 producing well sites will not be required to do the same. Better to penalize the industry that has zero abandoned sites and whose energy reservoirs never run out. Let's compare the numbers. 170,000 abandoned well sites at an average size of 3.5 acres is nearly 600,000 acres of compacted, weed covered and potentially contaminated soil that must be removed, cleaned and dumped in a landfill. Based on the AUC estimate of 7400 acres per TWh of annual solar production, the total amount of agricultural land currently consumed by solar production in Alberta is just over 15,000 acres. That's a hell of a lot more prime agricultural land being disturbed by the oil and gas industry than renewables. And land on renewable energy sites could actually have its soil improved by grazing or planting native grasses. Renewable energy is the future in southern Alberta. Oil and gas is a thing of the past, except for the massive cleanup liability that all Albertans will be left paying for. Will common sense prevail? #daniellesmith #ucp #fossilfuels #renewableenergy #ideology #commonsense

As Australia’s renewable energy sector booms, major players like Beijing Energy International and France’s Neoen are leading the charge in large-scale solar farm development. However, local companies in Australia so far remain cautious, focusing on long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) to mitigate risk rather than direct investment. Key Insights: Cost and Competition: Overseas developers benefit from lower capital costs and specialised expertise, making it challenging for local companies to compete directly. Reliance on Coal: Despite significant renewable investments, coal remains a substantial part of the energy mix, complicating the transition. Critical Minerals: The potential for critical minerals to support renewable infrastructure is promising but will require time to realise fully. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) highlights the need for a substantial increase in renewable capacity to replace ageing coal plants, with a target to triple grid-scale renewable energy by 2030. While the pipeline of projects is robust, navigating the development and approval stages remains a significant hurdle. Australian companies continue to play a crucial role by underwriting new projects, ensuring stable returns and balanced risk management. The international ownership trend brings much-needed capital and innovation, but also necessitates careful planning and community engagement to maintain a sustainable and secure energy future. #RiskAdvisory #RSM #EnergyTransition

Annual global energy investment is currently equivalent to the size of the French economy, the world’s seventh largest. This underscores the high levels of investment across the entire energy value-chain that is needed to meet the world's growing demand for energy.    #TrueOrFalse
