The Dutch State and the shareholders of regional grid operator Stedin have reached an agreement on the terms the Dutch State will acquire a 11.9 percent stake in regional grid operator Stedin for 500 million euros. The Council of Ministers agreed to this on the proposal of the Minister of Finance (Sigrid Kaag) and the Minister for Climate and Energy Policy (Rob Jetten).   Stedin requires additional capital to continue to invest in the expansion and reinforcement of the electricity grid. In the coming weeks, the agreed transaction will be dealt with in the current shareholder bodies and presented to the municipal councils. Stedin will continue to invest in the expansion of the electricity grid: at least 8 billion euros by 2030. Read more: https://lawand.tax/3ZkbYrF #loyensloeff #lawandtax

🌐 Today at the European Commission’s 10th Energy Infrastructure Forum in #Copenhagen, Dr. Annegret Groebel, CEER President, highlighted the findings of the ACER/CEER joint Position on Anticipatory Investments: 🔹 Emphasising the implementation of existing measures rather than introducing new actions. 🔹 System operators' proactive planning to meet future demands. 🔹 Applying similar regulatory treatment for anticipatory and other grid investments. 🔹 Addressing long permitting periods to accelerate grid development. 🔹 Considering the impact of investments on tariffs. Key recommendations include strengthening national energy regulators' roles, improving decision-making processes, encouraging early connection requests, enhancing coordination, and expediting project implementation. #EnergyInfrastructure #RenewableEnergy #GridExpansion #SustainableFuture EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER)

 🚢 Exciting News from Stillstrom! 🌊   We are thrilled to announce the approval and publication of our offshore electric supply methodology through Verra (Verified Carbon Standard). This significant milestone provides us with increased flexibility when deploying our innovative offshore power and charging solutions and generating carbon credits. Now, with published methodologies through both Gold Standard and Verra, we can offer our clients even more options.   While this development is particularly relevant where mandated markets like the EU ETS are not in play, it offers us and our clients additional liquidity in various locations. This new methodology, VMR0010 Electricity Supply for Ships, v1.0, is a revision of the CDM methodology AMS-III.BP., expanding its scope to include offshore electricity supply systems such as power buoys. This expansion enables us to displace electricity produced from ships' auxiliary power generators that use fossil fuels, further contributing to emission reductions.   We are proud to lead the way alongside great partners in decarbonising the maritime sector and contributing to a greener, more sustainable future! https://lnkd.in/dxeC8Bvf #OffshorePowerAndCharging #OceanCleanTech #Partnerships #Decarbonise

The fallout from the recent fat-finger incident in the Finnish bidding zone of the Nordic power market continues…. the Norwegian energy regulator (NVE-RME) has announced that it is investigating Nord Pool’s role in the 23 November incident on behalf of the regulatory authorities of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. 👉Energiavirasto, the Finnish energy regulator, will lead a parallel investigation into the conduct of the market participant. NVE-RME wants to understand what Nord Pool did in connection with the mis-trade and clarify what routines they have in place for checking the validity of incoming bids, as well as what measures they can implement to avoid a reoccurrence in the future. https://lnkd.in/duvEN2nT https://lnkd.in/diyqN-mW 👉The outcome of both investigations will be keenly watched by the market where the focus on short term power trading in Europe is coming under increasing regulatory focus due to REMIT 2 and a steadily rising REMIT enforcement case count in this area. 🇫🇮🇳🇴 #NordPool #NVE-RME #electricity #REMIT #RegTrail

Last Friday Unitial Technologies participated in a workshop for Zero Emission Construction for governmental agencies organized by Emissieloos Netwerk Infra (ENI). The transition in the construction area is going fast, which is only possible by sharing knowledge between various parties involved as was demonstrated by Eric Withaar from HWBP. Two take aways: - governmental agencies and companies are struggling to estimate how much energy is needed at the end of the day: "Usually we are miles off from the actual number" - governmental agencies need to support Zero Emission projects by bringing energy supply and energy demand closer together. These are areas Unitial can help you with, contact us in case you want to discuss your projects with us. #ZeroEmission #SEB #Construction #OffHighway
