The €3.5 billion infrastructure package approved by the Irish cabinet marks the country’s largest grid investment and will support renewable energy expansion.
Grids are one of the bottlenecks for more renewable power. A new report from Eurelectric highlights how existing technologies can optimise grids, reduce investment needs and accelerate integration.
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is deepening its partnership with Italian DSO AcegasApsAmga to help decarbonise Trieste, with a key focus on electrifying the city’s busy port.
Power grids are increasingly impacted by extreme weather events driven by climate change. Eurelectric has issued proposals to help distribution system operators (DSOs) better prepare for these challenges.
UK technology consultancy Leading Resolutions advises that sustainability and net-zero goals will be futile if roadblocks in data science and outdated technology infrastructures are not addressed.
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.
A new large-scale PV project near Poland’s Baltic coast uses cable pooling alongside an existing wind farm to boost efficiency and streamline the grid connection.
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.
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 period, Poland’s PV market slowed in 2023. But demand remains robust, just different from previous years, says Michal Marona of SolarEdge.
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.
