🏡Getting renewables into homes at scale and speed. Developing new infrastructure to enable the supply of renewables is anything but simple – but SSE is stepping up to the challenge. It's committed to help creating enough offshore wind-power capacity to power every home in the UK, by shaping a supply-chain strategy for six crucial transmission network developments. ⚡ Read more about their journey here ➡ https://deloi.tt/3IjWRH3

📆 Last month, the webinar "Financing European Renewables: Challenges and Opportunities" took place, featuring an engaging discussion addressing the current opportunities and challenges in the realm of renewable energy financing in Europe. 🗣️ Hosted by Viola Caon, Head of Content at inspiratia, among the speakers was Fernando Salinas Loring, Managing Director of #FRV Iberia, along with experts from CIBC Capital Markets, MetLife Investment Management, and DLA Piper. 👉 If you missed it, here's your chance to watch this engaging debate discussing how #EmergingTechnologies are transforming the landscape of #RenewableEnergies and the path towards a future of net-zero emissions. From offshore wind to solar and onshore wind, opportunities for investment in 2024 are analyzed, highlighting Spain's key role in the Power Purchase Agreements (#PPAs) market in Europe. 📍 We take the opportunity to invite you to join us at the European Renewable Financing Summit, which will take place in Madrid on May 16th. During this event, we will explore how traditional renewable energies contribute to the deployment of new technologies and the achievement of #NetZero emissions goals. 📺 You can watch the complete webinar here: https://loom.ly/rbbMLaU

A speech by the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed the Government’s commitment to achieve at least 95% low carbon energy generation by 2030 by accelerating renewables deployment: https://lnkd.in/e_FrN_rr

#NewsIE | The latest UK #PPA report from Cornwall Insight shows that EDF is the leader, once again, in signing #PPAs in the UK. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/daNWrKsU Tom Abbott, Director of PPA, shared: “Our PPA team are very proud to remain the leading offtaker of renewable power in Great Britain. We’re committed to supporting all types of generators, offering expert routes to market, and facilitating bespoke agreements to meet specific needs. It’s amazing to see our contribution recognised as we continue working with generators to help Britain achieve net zero”. FYI: EDF (UK), EDF Renouvelables, EDF Renewables UK & Ireland, RenewableUK

Claire Mack, Chief Executive at Scottish Renewables, responds to the UK Government's announcement of the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 (AR6) budget increase. “Heightened ambition for 2030 must be matched by bold action and the welcome increase to the Allocation Round 6 budget sends a positive signal to industry that the UK Government is serious about achieving its clean power mission. “To maintain our globally competitive advantage, empower our supply chains and enrich our communities, it is essential that we enable deployment at pace across all clean energy technologies through the Contracts for Difference scheme. “Unleashing the full potential of Scotland’s renewable energy pipeline, in particular floating and fixed offshore wind, will require building on Allocation Round 6 to maximise deployment through future allocation rounds.  “This will drive economic growth, deliver energy security and achieve the UK Government’s clean power mission.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/epcKPCwA #renewables #CFD #AR6 #AllocationRound

In the Europe, Middle East, Africa region, limited and expensive land means many northern and western European countries are looking offshore to maximize their #WindPower potential. 💨 As well as generating electricity, #OffshoreEnergy assets can make a meaningful contribution to the production of green hydrogen, extending the offshore renewables sector’s role in meeting carbon reduction goals. ♻ Black & Veatch's eBook further explores how offshore renewables can make a difference in the #EMEA region: http://ms.spr.ly/6049W5sB5

Explore how our UK team has been supporting SSE plc to drive the UK’s transition to net zero: https://bit.ly/4cdD9tT 🌱 SSE’s ambitious Net Zero Acceleration Programme seeks to decarbonise the UK power system. Thus far, the organisation has contributed to developing and delivering over 2.5 gigawatts of installed offshore wind across the UK. In addition, SSE has made essential upgrades to the network infrastructure required to connect renewable capacity to the grid. 🤝 For over 10 years, we have partnered with SSE Renewables, SSE Networks, and SSE major projects across their businesses' generation, distribution, and transmission areas. ✅ Through several frameworks, our teams are helping to deliver improved performance across the development, construction and operational phases of onshore and offshore wind. In addition to other projects such as networks, hydro and carbon capture and storage in the UK and Ireland. #netzero #RenewableEnergy #UKPower

Credit article to offshoreWIND.biz.biz UK ESO Unveils GBP 58 Billion Grid Investment Plan to Reach 86 GW of Offshore Wind by 2035 Great Britain’s electricity system operator (ESO) has proposed a GBP 58 billion (approximately EUR 68 billion) investment in the electricity grid. The proposal outlines a vision for incorporating an additional 21 GW of offshore wind into the grid by 2035, which would bring the country’s total offshore wind capacity to a potential 86 GW. #Boyond2030Plan #ElecticitySystemOperator #QEDGroup #QEDEnergy #PrimeDispute

Great British Energy - competitor or ally to the private sector in the UK energy market? I’m not sure yet, would be interested to hear people’s thoughts. My first take is that if GB Energy focus on parts of the electricity market that struggle to attract investment such as new technology (floating wind, CCUS, hydrogen) and grid infrastructure then it will compliment the private sectors appetite to invest in established technology like fixed offshore wind. If GB Energy start to undercut the private sector (especially if buddied up with the Crown Estate who are meant to be impartial) by investing in offshore wind projects that are already attracting capital then it could potentially cause more harm than good (displacing direct investment with tax payers money). See carefully worded response from SSE in the link attached which also seems to echo that GB Energy should focus on new tech only.. https://lnkd.in/deedqaUq
