GET IN LINE: There are several obstacles that a “clean energy project” must overcome to obtain an interconnection queue for their project. One large obstacle is the GIQ (generator interconnection queue). Today, almost every regional transmission organization (RTO) and independent system operator (ISO) has a significant backlog in their GIQs. In fact, about 70% of the “clean energy” projects submitted are ultimately withdrawn due to the long wait times (years for some RTOs or ISOs), high cost for new transmission lines, and other upgrades that may be required to handle the increased capacity that their specific project will place on the grid. This has created a significant barrier to deploying renewable energy projects, which in turn has stymied the nation’s green energy plans.

👉Centre plans to push for more renewable energy connectivity in states 👉With the dual purpose of enhancing power transmission infrastructure in states and boosting #RenewableEnergy (RE) connectivity across all regions, the ministry of power is planning to push states to connect upcoming RE projects to state grids and not the national grid. #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #Solar #Sloarstocks

Grid upgrades key to energy transition implementation Properly implementing all the energy-transition laws will be the key focus for the EU’s next political cycle, but new legislation on electricity grids may be needed to integrate renewables into the system. #ICIS #energy #renewables #electricity #EuropeanCommission #ENTSOE #solar https://bit.ly/49EFmx5

🔎 A recurring topic in the context of #energytransition and #renewableenergy development is the reference to the #gridsystem and the feasibility of accommodating the newly generated capacities. 💡 Considering the ongoing projects and the limitations arising from the requirement for #network enhancements, Transelectrica’s projection estimates that in the next 3 years, 2500MW can be installed in Photovoltaic Power Plants and 500 MW in Wind Power Plants. This assessment does not include the installed capacity attributed to prosumers. The development of renewable power plants is linked to the evolution of #energyconsumption, which has been decreasing in recent years, against the background of the pandemic and the energy crisis, but also to the development of #storage facilities. 👉 You are invited to discover more about the electrical transmission and distribution networks in the 2023 edition of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬, a project initiated by RWEA - Romanian Wind Energy Association, together with RPIA - Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association.

Offshore wind turbines have one major advantage: they're positioned in areas with higher and more consistent wind speeds compared to their onshore counterparts. This translates to significantly greater energy generation potential! 🌟 #renewables #renewableenergy #wind #windpower #energy

The UK is aiming to lead offshore wind technology by approving £85.6m in funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult to upgrade testing facilities, enabling development of next-generation larger and more efficient wind turbines.

Offshore wind installations are gathering pace worldwide leading to the need for reliable, accessible infrastructure to bring the generated power onshore and into the electricity grid. As a result, demand for offshore substations is booming, especially in Europe. Rystad Energy research and modeling shows that 137 substations will be installed offshore continental Europe this decade, requiring $20 billion in total investment. Over 120 of these facilities will be installed between 2024 and 2030 at a cost of around $18 billion. As such, annual spending on offshore substations will increase steadily through 2030, rising from an average of $1.4 billion per year from 2015 to 2023, to a new high of $8.4 billion in 2030.
