The success of the #EnergyTransition is of extraordinary importance for future generations!!! Winning this race against the clock is fundamental for our future, therefore it is vital not to fall into the same mistakes again and again... Reviewing some of the articles I read recently, I found one again referring to the #German #EnergyTransition that contains some interesting reflections... https://lnkd.in/dMxv95Cz

The transformation of our energy system is a good example of how a number of challenges can no longer be solved at the national level alone. The energy transition calls for cross-border cooperation with European and global partners. We see this every day when working on our projects. It takes instruments like the European Green Deal and the EU taxonomy to set the right course for a climate-neutral future. And it takes the European even global financial market to finance the modernization of the energy system. After all, the green transformation can only succeed with sufficient national, European and international capital. In short, we can only rise to the challenges of our time together in Europe. Let us therefore exercise our right to vote in the European elections on 9 June. There is a great deal at stake: The European Union and the euro are cornerstones of our security and our economic success and prosperity. Above all else, however, for all its differences, the EU is also a community of shared values. And a strong economy needs values such as diversity, openness and tolerance. At EnBW, we have therefore joined forces with various German companies in the alliance #WeStandforValues to make it clear why it is important to vote in the #EUelections and stand up for European values. #VoteForEurope #useyourvote #GreenDeal #EnergyTransition

If you're wondering how much your battery storage system could have earned last month, we at suena have the answer. From now on we compare monthly, how different trading strategies for battery storage systems perform. Here are the results for May - with a clear favourite: a multi-market approach that combines all relevant wholesale markets with ancillary services. 🔋

🏅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

Like in 2023, Finland is again in the lead of the competition for most often occurring negative prices during H1-2024. This is another symptom of the severe flexibility deficit we currently have in Finland, manifesting itself either in security of supply and affordability concerns or in energy waste. For both, the cure is more flexibility from both demand and supply, not forgetting a need for an adequate national, Nordic and European energy infrastructure.

New article in Deutscher Mittelstands-Bund (DMB) e.V. 🏭 In this insightful piece, our Deputy Head of Sales, Ralph Stemper, discusses why modernizing the grid is crucial for effectively using renewable energy. With high energy costs, the German Mittelstand faces challenges, especially with limited grid capacities for solar power. ⚡ Key points include: 1. Current Grid Limitations 👉 Outdated infrastructure can't handle increasing solar energy production. 2. Challenges for Solar Projects 👉 Many solar installations can't connect to the grid due to local infrastructure and high transformer station costs. 3. Decentralized Energy Supply 👉 Decentralization is needed but requires significant adjustments. 4. Long-term Benefits 👉 Enhancing the grid will make renewable energy more accessible and cost-effective for SMEs.

🔋 Advancing Sustainable Lithium Extraction for Clean Energy German energy supplier EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG and British company LevertonHELM have successfully produced lithium carbonate with a purity greater than 99.5%. Key achievements from their joint demonstration project include: - 🌊 Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE): EnBW extracted a lithium chloride solution from thermal water at the Bruchsal geothermal plant in Baden-Württemberg. - 🔬 Refinement Process: LevertonHELM transformed and refined this solution into high-quality lithium salt, suitable for battery production. EnBW and LevertonHELM aim to continue their collaboration to further advance sustainable lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide production for batteries. Their efforts focus on: - 🌍 Supporting Electromobility and Energy Storage: Developing local lithium resources to bolster the growing demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. - 🌱 Environmental Benefits: Utilizing high lithium concentrations in geothermal water to extract lithium in a regional and eco-friendly manner. This initiative not only represents a significant step towards more sustainable lithium production but also highlights the potential of innovative technologies in supporting the clean energy transition. #SustainableEnergy #LithiumExtraction #CleanTech #BatteryInnovation #RenewableEnergy 🌍🔋🌱

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

Another one bites the dust of dry & slow European cleantech & industrial policies. Truly sorry for SOLARWATT Germany for now! When the last plant is closed down, we will learn that importing basically everything doesn't drive a sustainable energy transition & resilient future for our children. Or am I wrong? #solar #manufacturing #cleantech #RePowerEU #NZIA

#BalanceNeueEnergien a 100% subsidiary of #VNGAG has acquired another Biogas plant in my home province of Saxony-Anhalt further driving the development of sustainable alternatives for #NaturalGas, since #Biomethane #RNG can 100% substitute fossil #Methane and is 100% backwards compatible with the existing natural gas infrastructure, on top it helps stripping #CO2 from the air and use it either to replace #fossil #Carbon or sequester it permanently and create negative #CO2 emissions.
