The electricity industry and energy intensives join forces to boost Europe’s industrial competitiveness in a net-zero economy.
The energy transition is more than a political project; it can only succeed as a joint social effort. This is emphasized by Dirk Kaisers, Segment Leader Distributed Energy EMEA at Eaton, in a guest article.
In Japan, decentralised green power plants were combined to form virtual power plants. Using new technologies, the project partners have shown that a stable electricity grid can be realised even with volatile generators.
Five European Energy Associations have co-signed a letter to the European Commission asking decision makers to avoid harmful short-term interventionist measures in the market.
Technological progress in renewables could revolutionise global energy use. While electricity has so far covered only one fifth of the world's energy needs, green power could actually account for three quarters in the long term if climate policy is consistent.
The contract with a subsidiary of the state-owned passenger and freight transport operator SNCF Voyageurs has further expanded Axpo’s marketing of renewable energies in France.
Solar installations on noise barriers along federal roads and railway lines can supply 101 gigawatt hours of electricity every year - according to current technical standards.
Features in new 72-home community enable residents to weather power outages, save on electricity bills and make electric lifestyle more convenient.
With the new second-generation Easy Solar Kit from Bosswerk's Self PV brand, all citizens can support the energy transition, even if they only have a small balcony.
Rethink Energy released a new report „Look back in anger“, that looks back at the hurdels of decarbonization.
For the still outstanding heat turnaround, electric heat pumps (currently still five per cent) could be supplemented by a small share of power-to-hydrogen plants. These function like fuel cell CHP units, but additionally use hydrogen electrolysis.
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are transforming business operations and processes in the power sector, leading to greater cost savings, increased efficiency and new services. But also risks like data access and data protection have to be tackled.
Sector coupling and energy storage are key for the energy transition, Jan Andersson, Market Development Manager at Wärtsilä Energy Business, elaborates in a guest article.
An EMS with a green electricity flat rate, a drone for monitoring solar installations from the air, a universal EV charger and a new design software. Here are our top products of the week:

Phocos’ PWM charge controller series is the CXup series with three models from 10 to 40 ampere maximum charge and load current.
The Power-Blox 200 series from the Swiss start-up Power Blox is a revolutionary modular energy system producing AC power from 200 watts up to kilowatt range.
Using the ceramic fuel cells technology, electricity is generated at up to 60 per cent electrical efficiency at the point of use.
Smart Chap gives independence from increasing energy prices – thanks to solar power and innovative battery solutions for maximum self-sufficiency.
The so-called e-manager by German-based Q3 Energie allows power and heat generators to connect with consumers as well as with the electrical storage system Q-Batt.
The energy monitor Smappee for electricity consumption observes both private consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. That will now change with its expansion into gas and water.
