Crete is experiencing a rapid transformation to its energy landscape, shifting from being an energy importer to a net exporter. 🔌 Korkia’s role in Crete’s green energy transition has been growing since entering the market in 2022, through a partnership with local solar developers AA Green Energy. The ongoing & planned development of submarine and land-based interconnectors will further enhance Greece’s connections to neighbouring countries’ power grids, positioning the country as a vital link in a new “green silk road”, connecting central Europe to the surrounding regions. The future of Crete’s energy sector shines brightly, and Korkia’s efforts contribute to unlocking Crete’s potential as a Mediterranean power hub. ☀️ Read more about the island’s energy transition and Korkia’s development projects in Crete in the case study written by Korkia's country manager for Greece Michael Roussos: https://lnkd.in/dYCfprnr

South Gippsland Shire Council has unanimously adopted the South Gippsland and Latrobe City Renewable Energy Impact and Readiness Study 🙌   Gippsland is one of six Renewable Energy Zones in Victoria, and is the focus of a series of major renewable energy development proposals. This includes nationally significant offshore wind projects off the southern coast of Gippsland; an area declared as the first zone for offshore wind generation in Australia.   South Gippsland Shire Council, Latrobe City Council and Regional Development Australia Gippsland recognised the need to understand, and strategically plan for long term renewable energy investment in Gippsland to optimise benefits that flow to the local economy and community, and mitigate any potential issues that may arise from the delivery of projects.   The Study seeks to identify, understand and plan for issues and spatial implications for urban land supply and supply chain requirements across business, labour and housing. Importantly, the Study provides a clear economic and land use evidence base and action plan to guide renewable energy readiness over the next 10-20 years.   We look forward to the Study progressing through to implementation!   You can access the Study here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gpZ4GaKs

The plight of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the face of the climate crisis is urgent and profound. These nations, least responsible for global warming, are disproportionately affected by rising sea levels and extreme weather events that threaten their very existence. The case of Tuvalu, negotiating with Australia over citizen relocation due to encroaching seas, epitomizes the stark reality these islands confront. However, amidst these challenges, SIDS are pioneering renewable energy solutions that offer a beacon of hope and inspiration. With initiatives like the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative and ambitious goals set by organizations such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), these islands are striving to lead the charge towards sustainable energy futures. Innovations in solar, wind, and microgrid technologies are not only reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels but also showcasing resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. Yet, hurdles remain. Issues of funding accessibility, supply chain delays, and the unique logistical challenges of island environments complicate progress. The need for comprehensive financing solutions, public-private partnerships, and tailored energy systems is paramount to overcoming these obstacles. Furthermore, SIDS are exploring cutting-edge technologies like tidal and wave energy, exemplified by projects in Orkney and Hawaii, which harness the power of ocean currents. These initiatives not only demonstrate technological innovation but also underscore the potential for renewable energy to meet baseload electricity demands in geothermally rich islands like Dominica. As these islands strive towards full renewable integration, they offer valuable lessons for the global community. Their experiences in navigating energy transitions amidst geographic constraints and environmental vulnerabilities can inform broader efforts towards decarbonization worldwide. The success of initiatives in places like El Hierro and the partnerships being forged with international entities highlight the transformative impact of sustainable energy investments. In essence, SIDS are not just adapting to climate challenges—they are pioneering solutions that resonate far beyond their shores. Their journey towards renewable energy independence is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the imperative of collective global action in combating climate change. #SmallIslandDevelopingStates #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChangeAdaptation #Sustainability #GlobalClimateAction

"In a study of 18,400 universities in 196 countries, 68% of all energy educational degrees are still focused on fossil fuels and only 32% on renewable energy" (World Energy Council)😯 This statistic is quite alarming. How are we to reach our 2030 goals for the energy transition, if at this rate there won't be sufficient skilled workforce? An educational shift towards renewables is necessary to ensure the future for new generations! Its #Time4Action and action should be taken at all levels and fields! 📖 🌿
