On November 9, industry media outlet TechWeb posted that this week the French Senate passed new legislation that would require all parking lots with at least 80 spaces to be equipped with solar panels, whether existing or new. This new regulation is part of France's massive plan to invest massively in renewable energy, which aims to increase the country's solar power generation by 10 times and double the amount of power generated by onshore wind farms. Starting July 1, 2023, small parking lots with 80 to 400 spaces will have five years to reach the new regulations, and parking lots with more than 400 spaces will need to do so within three years and have at least half of their parking area covered with solar panels, the report said. The program is aimed at large parking lots around commercial centers and train stations, and could generate up to 11GW of electricity, the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors, to power millions of homes.

More from the The Economist : According to the International Solar Energy Society, solar power is on track to generate more electricity than all the world’s nuclear power plants in 2026, than its wind turbines in 2027, than its dams in 2028, its gas-fired power plants in 2030 and its coal-fired ones in 2032. In an IEA scenario which provides net-zero carbon-dioxide emissions by the middle of the century, solar energy becomes humankind’s largest source of primary energy—not just electricity—by the 2040s. So I gotta ask, why are we talking about expanding plant Vogel after the debacle that was this last expansion? How much solar and battery tech could we install in GA with another $23 B?

Renewable power procurement is a crucial element of green hydrogen project development: ⚡The cartogram shows the relative percentage of solar and wind generation by state in 2022. Iowa had the largest relative generation at over 60%, however the cartogram dramatically changes if hydro and nuclear power are also included. 📈 Guidance from the IRS on power procurement for 45V eligibility will have a meaningful impact for hydrogen developers and investments. 🌐 In Europe, the Renewable Energy Directive (“RED II”) has requirements including temporal correlation, additionality and geographic correlation. #EnergyTransition #IRA #REDII

European Power Greener Than Ever! In the first half of 2024, renewables surpassed 50% of total power generation in Europe. - Eurelectric’s ELDA data platform reports that 74% of EU electricity came from renewable and low-carbon sources. - Nuclear power provided a stable share of 24%. - Despite impressive supply-side growth, power demand remains low due to sluggish economic growth and deindustrialisation. - Eurelectric calls for a robust Electrification Action Plan to stimulate demand and ensure continued investments in clean energy. #RenewableEnergy #CleanPower #SustainableFuture #EUClimateTargets #RE24

Energy bills to stay high for six more years. Energy bills are expected to remain high for at least six years due to ageing gas power stations and delays in new nuclear plant construction, according to a new report.

"Solar installations made up 35% of all new utility-scale generation capacity in the first half of the year, according to the Energy Information Administration. It expects the U.S. to add 25.2 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2023, enough to power upwards of five million homes and more than from new wind, natural gas and nuclear generation combined" #solarenergy #inflationreductionact #energy #electricity #energystorage #energytransition #energypolicy #infrastructure #transmission #distribution #resiliency #energysecurity https://lnkd.in/g6C2n6Ki

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has been collecting data on the public energy sector R&D budgets of its 31 member countries for nearly five decades. Those data are public, and they tell many stories. The topline: member countries now devote more public dollars to energy R&D than ever before in real (not nominal) terms, but that's only after building back to levels previously seen only in the late 1970s and early 1980s. the sub-lines: energy efficiency is now the single biggest recipient of R&D, dethroning but nuclear power and renewables. Hydrogen dollars are growing rapidly. Fossil energy R&D is fairly paltry, and that includes carbon capture and storage. My thoughts: expect all of these numbers to move up again given government attention and general funding for energy innovation. But also - imagine where energy would be today if governments had maintained the commitments they set out more than 40 years ago. More from me at Bloomberg Green: https://lnkd.in/gcJk8aqJ

Blink and you may have missed it. With much of the coverage of GenCost focusing on the costs of nuclear energy, an important finding may have been overlooked that has the potential to unlock the deployment of a renewable technology that is ideally placed to replace retiring coal plants, such as Eraring, and help make Australia a renewable and manufacturing superpower. GenCost shows that solar thermal power has the lowest levelised cost of energy (LCOE) of any ‘flexible load, low emission’ technology, that it is cheaper than gas peaking plants, and comparable to coal-fired plants even without a cost on carbon. Put another way, this is a technology available today with the same characteristics of dispatchability, synchronous generation and system strength benefits as fossil fuel generators but with zero emissions and lower cost of electricity, according to GenCost. #Renewableenergy #Solarfarm #Engineeringelectrical
GenCost doesn’t just rule out nuclear, it makes solar thermal impossible to ignore

Europe's power generation is rapidly decarbonising, with 74% of electricity produced in the first half of 2024 coming from renewable and low-carbon energy sources, a significant increase from 68% in 2023, largely due to the influx of renewables and the stabilization of the nuclear fleet. https://lnkd.in/g9gqQCpU #gridcompliance #developers #powersystem #electricity #gridconnection #electricitybill #sustainability #renewables

Electrical Engineering Innovator & Leader, Passionate about a Positive Energy Future - Driving Change as Director & Engineering Manager at Electrical Projects Australia Pty Limited | Founder of the ei™platform
Im for a low CO2, low cost power future 🙌 - What's the name of this low emission energy asset? I travelled around Australia the last 6 months, and visited lots of our energy assets, we live in a wide open, low populated dry land. Hydro Storage will have a place for dispatch-able power. Green hydrogen and batteries produced by low cost solar, wind, nuclear will have a place for dispatch-able power. Hydro will have a place for network stability introducing intertial power, and for power factor control using synchronous condensers. #hydropower #electricalengineering
