Fostering local competencies - “SPOT ON” Last week, the transnational solar cluster “SPOT ON” e.V. was founded in Halle (Saale). East German PV-stakeholders pooled their forces to strengthen their region’s position as a center for PV expertise. Co-founding the cluster, #WAVELABS is part of a team of regional top-players in PV-manufacturing and development. Founding members include envia THERM GmbH, NexWafe, AVANCIS GmbH, Qcells Europe, Leipziger Energiegesellschaft mbH&Co KG, CE Cell Engineering GmbH, Mounting Systems GmbH, Yokk Solar GmbH and Hochschule Anhalt. Furthermore, Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics CSP supports the initiative with intentions to join the association themselves. Dr. Torsten Brammer, WAVELABS co-founder and board member at SPOT ON, remarked: "With photovoltaics, we have a proven technology that is a central building block for the decarbonization of our energy supply. The cluster’s combined economic and scientific potential will be used to promote eastern Germany to an innovative and competitive site for solar technology. We are convinced that our region harbors the talents necessary to develop a serious standing in PV. Therefore, the best way forward is to reach out and excite boys and girls for solar and engineering! The latter are particularly needed if we want to bring a breath of fresh air into this old boys' club.” https://lnkd.in/eFGFgBBy #EnergyTransformation, #Photovoltaics, #Innovation, #SolarIndustry

🏅Our solar project in Wilhelmshaven has been awarded the EEG tariff Our 19 MWp solar project Voslapper Groden has been officially included in the German Renewable Energies Law (EEG) tender, as confirmed by the Bundesnetzagentur this week. 🔆The planned photovoltaic plant is to be built on the ash landfill site near the former coal-fired power plant in Wilhelmshaven. With over 30,000 solar modules set to be installed across approximately 14 hectares, this project not only promotes sustainable energy but also contributes to ecological revitalization efforts. Jörg Lennertz, our CEO for Renewables states: "The 19 MWp photovoltaic project is expected to generate 16,000 MWh of renewable electricity per year and thus provide the area of the former landfill with a meaningful new use. The German Renewable Energy Law (EEG) has proven to be an important catalyst for the success of renewable energy projects, as it provides a stable and supportive framework for their development. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the local authorities and the local community – it is only by working together that we will succeed in making the energy transition more sustainable. In that sense, this project marks one step of many more to come to bring our multiple GW of onshore wind and solar PV projects across Europe, often with co-located battery energy storage systems (BESS) to life.” Find out more about our renewables business here: https://lnkd.in/dJbMGw5Y #photovoltaic #Wilhelmshaven #EnergyTransition #renewable

15min ISP 💝 Led by the 🇨🇿 TSO ČEPS, a.s. and in close cooperation with the neighboring TSOs 50Hertz Transmission GmbH 🇩🇪, Austrian Power Grid AG as well as SEPS - Slovenská elektrizačná prenosová sústava 🇸🇰 we successfully switched from an Imbalance Settlement Period (ISP) of 60 to 15min in the 🇨🇿 Bidding Zone and the borders to the TSOs mentioned above. Until the inclusion of 15min ISP in 🇪🇺 Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) in 2025 the ISP with a finer granularity will be exclusively applied in 🇪🇺 Single Intra-Day Coupling (SIDC) auctions as well as continuous trading. Last but certainly not least many thanks to all relevant NEMOs and Market Participants for making this important innovation possible 👏 #MCSC #SDAC #SIDC #TSOs #NEMOs #sustainability #energytransition

Interesting, that Sinovoltaics lists mostly Taiwan headquartered solar module makers as the most stable/bankable Tier1-OEMs globally. With Tainergy Tech Co., Ltd , Eterbright Solar Corportation First Solar taking the podium. And not e.g. China based 2-3-digit-GW-Scale integrated solar module makers like LONGi Solar or Tongwei Solar. This is in stark contrast to how BloombergNEF normally structures their lists. Why is that? Btw, for any European relevant ranking, shouldn't the topic of supply chain risks & ability to regionally fulfill full warranties and/or service with a full, adequate equity equipped legal entity, also on any recycling or team pension obligations, play a much higher role in both rankings? Disclosure: I professionally believe in the value or regional upstream supply chains & equipment, also in cleantech. Especially in this dramatic decade where extremeweather and other climate breakdown impacts increasingly affect supply chains. And where European R&D & manufacturing equipment makers like of the German #Mittelstand are on the brink of bankruptcy if governments act as slowly as the German government currently does ... #solar #energy #GigaFactoryOfTheSun #Renewables

👣 Step by step on the right path to further milestones for renewable energies. This is shown by the latest report on net public electricity generation in Germany in the first half of 2024 from the Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme ISE.   Wind energy continues to lead the way, generating an impressive 73.4 terawatt hours - a nearly 10% increase compared to the same period in 2023. A special shoutout goes to offshore wind energy, which contributed a remarkable 13,817.09 gigawatt hours. This accounts for approximately 6.4% of Germany's total electricity generation!   These achievements underscore the vital role that renewable energy, especially offshore wind, plays in our transition to a sustainable future. #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #OffshoreWind

How can cities and regions lead the charge in the renewable energy transition? In partnership with three cities and regions, we unveiled groundbreaking roadmaps for achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050. The roadmaps, developed in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, offer tailored pathways for each region. They focus on practical steps, policy recommendations, and potential sources of finance, aiming to turn ambitious goals into tangible results. 🔹 Avellaneda, Argentina: Prioritizes bioenergy and solar power, with plans for a 5 MWp solar park and shifting transport towards renewable energy. 🔹 Kisumu County, Kenya: Focuses on increasing access to reliable electricity and clean cooking technologies, leveraging its existing renewable energy mix. 🔹 West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia: Aims to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels by harnessing bioenergy from agricultural waste and enhancing energy efficiency across industries and buildings. The roadmaps culminate the 100% Renewables Cities and Regions Roadmaps project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI).

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW) and SHS - Stahl-Holding-Saar GmbH & Co. KGaA have signed a 15-year PPA for the He Dreiht offshore wind farm in Germany. Under the agreement, SHS will secure 50 MW of clean power from EnBW’s offshore wind farm, which is located 90 km north of Borkum and is set to come online by the end of 2025. Once operational, He Dreiht will feature 64 wind turbine with a total capacity of 960 MW. “The cooperation with EnBW is a real win-win situation,” said Stefan Rauber, Chairman of the Board of Management of SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar and Chairman of Dillinger und Saarstahl. “We supply the steel for the wind farm, while the electricity generated here from renewable sources in turn helps us to drive the transformation process for our companies Saarstahl and Dillinger. “Our steel production operation is still based on classic blast furnace technology. From 2030, we want to generate fewer emissions when manufacturing 3.5 million metric tons – about 70 percent – of our steel.” “We are delighted to have signed the long-term power purchase agreement with Stahl-Holding-Saar,” added EnBW CEO Georg Nikolaus Stamatelopoulos. “This allows us to supply an industrial partner with a further 50 MW of green electricity from our planned ‘He Dreiht’ offshore wind farm. “The interest shown by customers proves that our strategy of constructing the wind farm without any state funding and hedging most of the electricity generated through long-term supply contracts is working really well. This is a good sign that the market mechanisms are functioning.” #cleanenergy
