Covering 19 countries, 15 language regions and varied PV regulations, the sales manager for Central and Eastern Europe and his team of 10 handle a vast 2,500 km territory. In this interview, he shares how they make it work.
The reluctance of grid operators to fully integrate batteries into their electricity grids is slowing the expansion of renewable electricity generation in Sweden, according to a new report from the Swedish Solar Energy Federation (Svensk Solenergi).
Poland’s electricity sector is in the midst of a profound shift, driven by accelerating investment in wind and solar power. Since 2020, the share of renewables has nearly doubled – from 15% to almost 30%. The challenge now lies in preparing the national grid for the next leap: integrating more than 90 gigawatts of clean energy by 2040.
Digitised power systems are well-uited for handling today’s fluctuating demands. Data-driven approaches are unlocking new opportunities for operation, maintenance and management, as Sue Quense, Chief Commercial Officer at Aveva, explains.
Austrian grid operator Kärnten Netz shows how it is possible to respond to grid connection requests from PV system operators in just 30 minutes. A pioneering project example from the new “Learing from Europe” series by The smarter E.
On Saturday (February 8) the Baltic states officially left the Russian-led integrated power system, joined during the Soviet rule under the BRELL agreement, to synchronise with the European power grid (UCTE). Eurelectric applauds this also as an important step towards implementing the energy transition in Europe.
Grids are one of the bottlenecks for more renewable power. A new report of Eurelectric “Technologies supporting Grids for Speed” shows how existing technologies can optimise the existing grid, facilitate renewables integration and lower the overall investment bill.
What are the opportunities and challenges for business cases for stand-alone battery energy storage systems (BESS) in European markets like Germany, Italy, France, The Netherlands, Romania and Austria? Expert Philipp Kraemer of CCE shares his analysis.
European Energy has received grid connection approvals for around 500 MW of solar and wind energy projects across Romania. The total development pipeline for European Energy Romania now exceeds 1.5 GW of solar and wind projects.
After a boom, the Polish photovoltaic market has cooled significantly in 2023. But that's no reason to panic. Demand is still strong, but different from previous years, explains Michal Marona.
Corsica Sole and Evecon are planning the construction of two battery storage power plants with a total capacity of 400 MWh in Estonia. They are intended to help stabilize the Baltic power grid, which is to be decoupled from the Russian power grid at the beginning of 2025.
Grid digitalisation can improve power system efficiency in Europe, but a untapped potential remains, according to a new study Wired for Tomorrow of Eurelectric. It shows what matters.
A hotel in Amsterdam turned the lack of an adequate grid connection to his advantage - with the help of PV, battery storage and energy management.
High electricity costs pose major challenges for local industry Hartwig Stammberger, Manager Technical Platform Breaking & Switching, Eaton Electrical Sector/EMEA, sees DC grids as a great opportunity to reduce energy consumption in industry and achieve sustainability goals.
SMA's Sunny Central FLEX is a modular platform that streamlines grid connections for photovoltaic installations, battery systems and emerging energy technologies.
EM-Power Europe, part of The smarter E, will present the latest products, technologies and trends in grid and energy management that will help make the energy system more flexible.
A climate-neutral, affordable and secure energy supply needs a strong Europe and even more European cooperation. This was a central message of the BDEW Annual Congress in Berlin, which took place this year in the run-up to the European elections.
The EU Council supports a series of measures for an interconnected and resilient electricity network in Europe, to ensure energy security and achieve decarbonisation in the EU. SolarPower Europe welcomes this and demands further steps.
Utility industry program management software PowerClerk has now processed more than two million distributed and utility-scale interconnection projects across the U.S., provider Clean Power Research announced.
Storage provider Intilion and the company Purpel Energy are building four large-scale storage projects with 48 megawatt hours at locations in northern Germany. The outdoor systems each have a capacity of twelve megawatt hours - they are intended to stabilise the electricity grid in future as grid-supporting systems.
Solar farms in the UK are getting bigger, research shows, as developers and investors look to maximise returns through economies of scale. Peter Curtain, Director of Allerton Communications, shares his insights.
Rolls-Royce has received an order from the Latvian transmission system operator Augstsprieguma tikls (AST) to supply a large-scale mtu battery storage system to secure the Latvian power grid. Together with the other Baltic states, the country will synchronize its energy supply system with the continental European power grid in 2025.
Plans for an electricity connection between Greece and Egypt are moving forward. It is to be used for the transportation of solar and wind power.
To achieve the goals of the EU Green Deal, the expansion of the grid infrastructure and the flexibilization of energy generation are fundamental, Martin Dürnberger and Jörg Menyesch of CCE state in a guest article. They give an overview about the situation in different European countries.
An EZA controller that ensures grid stability, a new series of heterojunction modules, a new version of a planning software and a new interface for power backup. These are our top products of the week:
