Last week DECC launched Phase 2 of the SRESS scheme which will be welcomed by communities, farmers, and businesses alike. There has been a support scheme ‘gap’ for small scale 'export only' renewables until now with larger grid scale renewables and smaller domestic renewables availing of other schemes and incentives including RESS and SRESS Phase 1. This scheme proposes tariffs for solar and wind generators between 50kW to 6 MW. The tariffs proposed also align with the government’s goal of having more community engagement within the development of renewable projects, with the REC’s having a slightly higher rate of tariff than the SMEs tariff. The success of this scheme will in part be determined by how accessible the scheme is for participants and how streamlined the approvals process is. It is important that DECC bear this in mind during implementation. Another key aspect however, is ensuring that the Grid Connection process for small scale generation is simplified with shorter lead times. The CRU are to publish a new Electricity Connection Policy soon that will look to address this. In the meantime, ESB Networks have a number of initiatives to allow for increased connections of small scale renewables such as renewable hubs, technical solutions to improve grid capacity and pilot projects to facilitate connection of small scale renewables. These initiatives as well as publication of the CRUs Connection Policy need to move at pace to ensure the continued growth of the sector.

Exciting News in Renewable Energy Regulations For April 2024 #RenewableEnergy #EnergyRegulations #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #PolicyUpdate #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy #GridIntegration #EnergyManagement https://lnkd.in/g-ayWRBZ

Welcome step indeed !. The challenge probably, is in the implementation at federal / state level. State governments must adhere to these judicious policy guidelines and not to add to the cost harming end users. State regulatory authorities have their own rate tarrifs that are commonly under disputes. Hope this law addresses universal application with boundaries drawn to avoid exploitation and misuse by State bodies. Thank you for sharing this valuable inputs Atul Ji. 😊🤝 #energy #renewableenergy #energytarrif #government #sustainability #cooperativefederalism #centerstaterelations #Indianbureaucracy Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)E)

Ireland is powering ahead with its commitment to renewable energy with the launch of the second phase of its Support Scheme for Renewable Heat (SRESS). This phase is tailored towards empowering local communities and small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to embrace renewable energy projects. Under the scheme, known as Renewable Energy Communities (REC), community-led initiatives and SMEs producing solar or wind power can benefit from a guaranteed feed-in-premium tariff without the need for auction bids. This provides a significant boost for those looking to contribute to Ireland's renewable energy goals. Tariff rates have been carefully structured to incentivize participation, with RECs receiving premiums on their renewable electricity market revenues. Solar projects under 1 MW, for instance, can enjoy a tariff of €150/MWh, while wind projects also benefit from competitive rates. What sets RECs apart is their focus on community involvement, reflecting the government's commitment to fostering local engagement in renewable energy projects. With simpler tariffs and support tailored to overcome barriers like planning and financing, the SRESS is paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future in Ireland.

Solar capacity in the U.S. grew by an impressive 88 percent in 2024, according to a recent outlook report on renewable energy by the consulting firm Deloitte. Battery storage also saw double-digit percent capacity growth.

Turkey is set to resume its renewable energy auctions as part of a strategy to attract investments and expand its clean energy capacity. The Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources announced that a series of auctions will take place in the coming months. Slated to launch in early 2025, these auctions aim to develop large-scale renewable energy initiatives to meet the country’s growing energy demands while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. #RenewableEnergy #Turkey #CleanEnergy

The ECIU emphasised that a “combination of renewables, insulating homes so they need less energy to heat them, and switching from gas boilers to heat pumps and from petrol to electric cars can halt the rise of energy import dependence, maintaining or even boosting the UK’s current level of energy self-sufficiency.” #growth #investment #Battery #batteryenergystorage #renewables #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #solarenergy #solarpower #renewables #renewableenergy #investment #cleanenergy #cleanelectricity #greenenergy #greenpower #innovation #greenbusiness #greenfuture #decarbonisation #netzero #change #batterystorage #batterytechnology #electricity #battery #netzero #ClimatePolicy

Demand growth is a rising tide that lifts all boats, and it especially lifted renewable ones in 2024. Renewables were already buoyed by record public and private investment in, and demand for, clean energy that set the stage for continued growth in 2024.1 Utility-scale solar and wind capacity additions were the largest across all primary generation sources, accounting for close to 90% of all new builds and expansions in the first nine months of 2024. More growth is anticipated in 2025.
