IEA calls for more investment in grids and energy storage

-

For clean energy to continue growing at pace, greater investment in new energy systems, especially in electricity grids and energy storage, is necessary, IEA`s new World Energy Outlook 2024 says. Today, for every dollar spent on renewable power, only 60 cents are spent on grids and storage.

PV is the main driver of renewables growth, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

IEA: Three times more renewables by 2030

-

With solar leading their rapid deployment, renewables are on course to meet almost half of global electricity demand by the end of this decade, a new report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says.

 A new IEA report provides informative insights into the development of the global energy storage battery markets and their significance for the transformation of the energy system.
IEA report

Battery costs fallen by more than 90%

-

Many clean energy technologies on the market are growing very quickly – but none faster than batteries, which are set to play an increasingly important role alongside renewables and electrification in the global transition away from fossil fuels, according to a new special report of the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Global boom in renewables by almost 50 per cent to nearly 510 gigawatts

-

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global expansion of renewables has accelerated massively in 2023. China is the driving force behind this.

More investments in renewables are key to reach climate goals acccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Here we see a hybrid PV-wind project in the Netherlands.
Net Zero Roadmap

IEA critical of CO2 removal technologies

-

The update of IEA’s landmark Net Zero Roadmap shows greater ambition and implementation, supported by stronger international cooperation, will be critical to reach climate goals.

The new IEA report forecasts a huge upswing worldwide for renewables.

26.81% efficiency for silicon solar cells

-

The Chinese government is a drag on international climate protection as the recent UN climate summit showed, but Chinese solar companies lead the way. Longi has set a new record efficiency at 26.81% for its HJT silicon solar cells.

The energy crisis is a reminder of the fragility and unsustainability of the current global energy system, the World Energy Outlook 2022 (WEO) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns.
World Energy Outlook 2022

IEA: Global energy crisis as historic turning point

-

The global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is causing profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system, according to the latest edition of the IEA’s World Energy Outlook.

Study on Climatic Rating of PV modules

-

A comprehensive new study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Photovoltaic Power Systems Technology Collaboration Programme (PVPS) provides information on the energy yield of photovoltaic (PV) modules and systems in different climatic zones worldwide.

The portfolio includes not only solar modules for building integration, but also solar air heating systems, water-operated solar thermal collectors, motor-driven shading solutions and electrochromic window panes.
