Electricity access and reliability remain critical challenges in Haiti, especially in rural areas. To address these issues, USAID and NREL partnered with Haitian leaders to enhance energy resilience through innovative solutions such as microgrids, #agrivoltaics, off-grid #solar, and robust energy modeling. This collaboration also aimed to build local workforce skills and strengthen regulatory frameworks to support future technology adoption. While there’s still much to be done, we are committed to driving positive change across Haiti’s energy landscape.

At the ReBuild Ukraine 2024, GE Vernova, Ternopiloblenergo, and the Ternopil city council officially unveiled the Ternopil Energy Island (Microgrid) project for the first time. This ambitious initiative aims to establish a sustainable and resilient energy system for Ternopil, leveraging the city's existing and future generating capacities. These capacities are being developed with the support of utilities, donors, and private investors. The phased implementation of the project aims to enable the city of Ternopil to function independently in the event of a blackout. Recovery and Reform Support Team at the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine team is pleased to observe the ongoing implementation of the memorandum signed between the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and GE Vernova. This collaboration continues to advance through the active participation of energy companies, with the vital support of local municipalities and, importantly, under the guidance and oversight of the Ministry of Energy. This progress underscores a shared commitment to achieving the memorandum's objectives and fostering sustainable energy development. Moderator: Artem Pasko. Supported by EBRD Ukraine MDA.

🌞 Wind and Sun: Algeria's Power in Clean Energy I am sharing with you my contribution to the latest edition of El-Ayemm News, where I've written about The Future of Clean Energy in Algeria: Solar Radiation and Technical Innovation. In this section, I explored how Algeria’s environment offers remarkable opportunities while also presenting unique challenges. The intense solar radiation is a tremendous strength, but the high temperatures pose technical obstacles that require innovative solutions to overcome. I believe clean energy isn't just a technical ambition—it’s a shared responsibility. Together, through innovation, collaboration, and visionary planning, we can transform challenges into opportunities for a brighter, greener future. 🔗 Read more about my insights and the full article in El-Ayemm News: https://elayemnews.dz/pdf/ #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #Algeria

Ukrhydroenergo at the World Economic Forum: creating flexible power systems and the role of AI in optimizing energy processes On November 6-7, 2024, an event dedicated to clean energy, electrification and grid development took place at the World Economic Forum headquarters in Geneva. The event, organized by the World Economic Forum, brought together representatives of energy business, civil society and philanthropic organizations to develop a strategy to accelerate energy transformation and identify concrete steps for the implementation of clean energy projects Ukrhydroenergo was represented at the forum by Dr. Valentyn Gvozdiy Gvozdiy, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, who took part in panel discussions and roundtables. The creation of flexible power systems capable of managing variable renewable sources and growing demand for electricity, as well as the role of artificial intelligence in optimizing energy processes, were the key topics discussed during the discussions. The participants paid special attention to hydropower as a basis for stable energy supply and an important component of the development of renewable energy in Ukraine. In addition, the forum participants discussed the reports of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the World Economic Forum, which emphasize the importance of effective planning of energy systems, infrastructure and networks to support energy transformation. According to the 'World Energy Outlook 2024' (IEA), growing demand for electricity and decarbonization measures are key factors for a successful transition to green energy. The report “Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2024” (WEF) emphasizes the need to involve all stakeholders in the planning and implementation of new energy solutions, which is critical for Ukraine on its way to energy independence and integration into the European energy market. #energy #Ukraine #WorldEconomicForum #flexiblepowersystems a#AI in #energy #energyindependence #energymarket #transformation

Did you know natural gas has been a part of human innovation for over 2,500 years? Here’s a look back at its journey: ✨ Ancient Times: In 500 BCE, the Chinese used bamboo pipelines to transport natural gas to boil saltwater for salt production. ✨ The Renaissance: By the 17th century, natural gas was officially recognized as a powerful energy source. ✨ Modern Breakthrough: In 1821, the first commercial natural gas well was drilled in Fredonia, NY, igniting the modern energy era. Today, natural gas fuels homes, businesses, and innovation across the U.S., providing cleaner energy while supporting renewable advancements. At NEP, we’re proud to carry this legacy forward, delivering reliable, efficient energy every day. #naturalgas #energyhistory #cleanenergy #modernenergy #poweringamerica #sustainability
