A very good panel with Calogena and Newcleo to discuss the key role of Nuclear une the energy transition. All scenarios for energy consumption compatible with net zero are predicting a dramatic increase of the share of electricity in the energy mix up to 50%. Decabinization of an electric mix requires dispatchable low carbon energy sources. For the time being only a mix including nuclear and hydropower may support this kind of transition in a safe and affordable way. Still 50% of the energy consumption will not be electric and again nuclear might be a good solution to provide low carbon heat whenever it is required. Small and large reactors are a key pillars to decarbonize the energy mix and support a net zero approach by 20250.

French hybrid solar-storage developer ZE ENERGY has raised €54 million from funds managed by Amundi, Demeter and Groupe SORÉGIES. ZE Energy develops, finances, builds and operates hybrid power plants, and markets the green energy to end consumers. The company’s solar-storage portfolio consists of 1 GW of photovoltaic solar power and more than 400 MW of batteries. “Against a backdrop of increasingly volatile solar energy tariffs, ZE Energy’s model is proving to be an effective solution for a controlled energy transition. There is growing interest in the model, which combines solar production and energy storage,” said Mathieu Lassagne (pictured, left), founder of ZE Energy. “In the first half of 2024, solar energy prices became increasingly negative, due to overproduction at certain times of the day. The fact that we can store this energy, and therefore avoid price volatility, is a major advantage.” Matthieu Poisson (pictured, right), CEO of Amundi Energy Transition, added: “We are very optimistic about the development of infrastructure solutions combining solar energy production and storage. We are delighted to be joining forces with the founders, existing shareholders as well as the management team of ZE Energy, a team with a proven track record and we look forward to supporting them in this plan for European growth and expansion.” #energystorage #investment #finance #france

https://lnkd.in/g3j32VC8 if you have so much green electricity plus a CO2 issue associated it makes more sense, and energy yield, to use it in one of our reactors to produce precursors to renewable fossils ( SAFs and other energy sources) , chemicals etc.oder? ps if you use non renewable electricity your co2 balace will sky rocket.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a key element for the success of the energy transition – and that is why MET Group acquired COMAX France, a Bordeaux-based BESS developer with a project pipeline of several hundred MW in various stages of development. “We will provide the capital needed to implement these projects,” MET Chairman and CEO Benjamin Lakatos told Elsa Bembaron, energy market reporter at leading French daily newspaper Le Figaro, in an interview last week. “We are convinced that the BESS market offers significant growth potential.”   “The first issue is security of supply,” Benjamin Lakatos added when talking about the acquisition of COMAX France. The French company is an operator and developer of battery storage systems, needed to compensate for the weather-dependent nature of renewable power generation. “When there's no wind or sun, consumers still need electricity,” explained the CEO.   To read the English translation of the article: https://lnkd.in/dwzSTztC https://lnkd.in/dBgq93yr

Wind and solar are not flexible assets! Or are they?   Well, almost. Wind and solar can be flexible assets with the right schemes and incentives.   In France, power produced from wind and solar farms is paid at a fixed price. During tenders, projects compete based on the level of the fixed price—the lower, the better for the state.   With subsidies tied to production volume, why would wind and solar farms offer flexibility to the grid? You know the answer—they don’t.   What you might not know is the condition behind this scheme—the fine print at the end of the contract.   A producer is not paid when Day Ahead prices are strictly negative. As a result, wind and solar farms are disconnected from the grid by asset optimizers. That's exactly what happened yesterday (Sunday the 13th).   By the way, do you know how many negative hours have occurred so far this year? #energymarkets #marketinsights #France #negativeprices #energyprices

TotalEnergies, VERBUND AG sign preliminary deal on #Tunisian #hydrogen supply to #Europe Austrian electricity provider VERBUND AG and French energy major TotalEnergies' joint venture with Eren Groupe S.A. TE H2 have signed a preliminary deal with the Republic of Tunisia for a #renewablehydrogen project to supply Europe The multi-billion-dollar project, H2 Notos, aims to produce 200,000 metric tons of hydrogen a year using desalinated water from the Mediterranean and electricity from wind and solar farms in southern Tunisia. A ramp-up to 1 million tons per year is possible. The hydrogen would be transported to Europe through a 3,300 km pipeline connecting #Tunisia to #Italy and continuing onto #Austria and #Germany which is being planned by companies including Snam S.p.A. Production could begin as early as 2030, with #Verbund taking some of the hydrogen and transporting it throughout #CentralEurope What is notable about this project is its ability to transport low-cost hydrogen directly to Europe via pipeline," TEH2 CEO David Corchia said Pipeline transport adds about 1 euro - $1.09/km. to the cost, compared with 3.5 to 4 euros /km when you transform hydrogen to ammonia, ship it on a boat, and re-crack it back into hydrogen." A final investment decision (FID) is expected in 2027 or 2028 Mohamed Koubassi Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

The 3 secrets to successfully implementing the Electricity Market Design Reform... UNPACKED 👇 📊 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: https://lnkd.in/edTkw5KR Effective hedging ensures suppliers’ financial stability, preventing situations where inadequate hedging leads to bankruptcies, as it happened during the energy price crisis when suppliers of last resort (SoLR) were forced to contract consumers who in turn often ended up with higher electricity bills. However, imposing hedging obligations is not the right solution. Efforts should target more impactful measures, like enhancing regulatory oversight, ensuring access to necessary financial instruments and promoting innovation. These approaches can strengthen the market without restraining suppliers' flexibility or competitiveness. 🔗 𝗔𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: https://lnkd.in/ePYQRR-6 Member States are expected to protect vulnerable and energy-poor customers from electricity disconnections. While we acknowledge that those households need dedicated support, prohibiting disconnections is not a constructive measure to tackle nor solve the root cause. Instead, consumer protection frameworks across the EU offer alternative supporting measures to effectively address the issue. Read this position paper to learn why. 🤝 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: https://lnkd.in/eQ_dg6zS Energy sharing, including peer-to-peer energy trading, collective self-consumption and energy communities, is a positive opportunity for small customers to participate more concretely in the energy transition in their local community. It will foster individual involvement and awareness on energy topics while providing an opportunity for new decarbonisation solutions for the energy system.
