Missed out on last month’s webinar exploring the Australian energy market? Catch up on demand and gain access to the slide pack and recording using the link below! 📽 Slide pack & recording: https://lnkd.in/en3wHjH8 The webinar covered the targets, challenges and work being undertaken for Australia’s National Electricity Market to reach its net zero ambitions, as well as delving into our modelling of the market. View a teaser of the webinar below: ✅ We provide an overview of the market and the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets ✅ Based on our modelling, we explore the necessity of government support for new renewables to reach federal and state targets. For any questions about the webinar or about our consulting expertise in the Australian energy market, please contact Joern Schwinge, Head of Energy Management Consulting Australia or Jonathan de la Viña, our NEM Modelling Lead. #makingfuture #energytransition #decarbonisation #renewableenergy #hydrogen

According to think tank Ember, nearly a third of our electricity came from renewables last year. EU member states generated 44% of their electricity with renewables. As countries like Germany needing an extra 10,000 workers to fill their renewable ambitions, there’s never been a better time to consider a career in renewables.

Where is Australia's electricity market going? - Watch the webinar of our Australian energy market expert team around Joern Schwinge.

The latest report, "Global Overview of the Renewables 2024 Global Status Report (GSR 2024)," sheds light on the challenges hindering the transition to renewable energy. Despite progress, renewables struggle to keep pace with rising energy demand, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. However, there's hope on the horizon! Policy responses and global commitments are accelerating renewable energy deployment, especially in the power sector. But we need more than just commitments; we need action! Join the movement for renewable energy and be part of the solution. Let's build a sustainable future together! 💡 Source: https://lnkd.in/gCyz8cGb #RenewableEnergy #GSR2024 #JoinTheMovement 🌿

What’s the best investment strategy for clean energy? There is no silver bullet. Renewable energy investments can have big payoffs - if they are in the right location and have the right technology. Building new solar, wind, or geothermal can be profitable and significantly reduce emissions. But these big shiny projects aren't always the best solution. In some times and places, renewables have started to max out their impact. Adding more solar where solar is being curtailed and more wind farms where wind is being curtailed offer limited benefit to the energy transition. We need a smarter approach which requires data-driven insights market-by-market, technology-by-technology, and project-by-project. Our mission at REsurety is to provide the data and tools investors need to identify the best opportunities. If you want to talk more about this, let’s connect. #cleanenergy

1 week to go! Join industry-leading figures at Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables’ upcoming Madrid Power & Renewables Briefing and drinks reception taking place next Wednesday, 12 June. There's still time to register your interest and find out more here: https://okt.to/DROILW During the in-person briefing, our experts will discuss European #powermarkets, #onshore #renewables, #energystorage, #hydrogen, addressing evolving market dynamics, the commercial and technical enablers of accelerated change, and the key sensitivities that risk its delivery.

More likely renewables are stalling due to lack of effectiveness. Trillions in US taxpayer paid subsidies only go so far. The power realized from wind turbines is between 20% and 35% of capacity, solar about 35%, while nuclear realizes 95% of capacity. Wind takes up a lot of land, Solar less land. Renewables need to be able to store days of energy, which the best batteries today cannot hold.
