The energy company LEAG plans to launch several wind and solar projects with the project developer EP New Energies (EPNE) this year. The aim is to create a network of green energy plants - the so-called Gigawatt Factory. It is one of the largest energy transition projects in Europe.
In a significant step for European Energy’s operations in Poland, the company announced that it has exceeded 130 MW of renewable capacity in the country.
An exciting technology park has been created at the entrance to the Phoenix Contact company premises in Blomberg. It shows which solar solutions, storage units, electrical heating technology and charging stations are already possible. What looks like the future was built exclusively with tried and tested technology.
The resilience of supply chains for key technologies for the energy transition, such as photovoltaics and wind power, is in a poor state in Europe. Import dependency, especially on China, is immensely high. A study shows this and gives recommendations.
Interview: Ireland is stepping on the gas with the energy transition and expects to reap a variety of economic benefits as a result. The goal is also to export green hydrogen and green electricity. This is emphasized by Ian O`Hora, Head of Green Economy and Engineering at IDA Ireland (Investment Development Agency).

BayWa r.e. is implementing a holistic energy project for the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT in Pfinztal. For this purpose, photovoltaic (PV) systems are being newly installed on the ICT campus and connected to the power grid without their own inverters, but via an existing wind turbine.
Renewable energies are clearly having a price-dampening effect. With 20 gigawatts more of onshore wind energy and 30 gigawatts more of installed solar energy, the electricity price per kilowatt hour on the exchange would have been more than eight cents lower in August.
Energiequelle (Germany) has moved into its office in Poznan, entering the Polish solar and wind market.
More investment than ever before went into expanding solar energy and wind power in the first half of 2022. Governments and companies are thus responding to uncertain fossil fuel supplies and the climate crisis.
In a climate and energy cooperation, Germany wants to advance the development of a green hydrogen economy with Namibia. Special envoy Rainer Baake, Director of the Climate Neutrality Foundation and former State Secretary, is to push this forward.

81 % of EU habitats have been severely deteriorated by unsustainable activities. This alarming reality is intrinsically linked to climate change: according to world leading climate and biodiversity experts, greenhouse gas emissions will become the leading driver for ecological loss and agricultural disruptions.
The impossible has happened. The imperial aggressor Putin invaded Ukraine and is dreaming of a re-established Great Russian Tsarist Empire, without regard for human lives, the rights of sovereign, democratic states and international rules.
