If you want to help Queensland become a renewable energy superpower I recommend you watch this video and then join QREC.

The Energy Ministers of the nine North Seas countries have reaffirmed their ambition to transform the region into “Europe’s green power plant” at the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) ministerial meeting in Odense, Denmark #offshorewind #windeurope #northsea #windpower #europe

A major step forward for Poland’s clean energy future. The European Commission has approved €1.2 billion in funding to support the installation of 5.4 GWh of electricity storage capacity. This will not only reduce reliance on fossil fuels but also ensure a smoother integration of renewables into the Polish grid. https://lnkd.in/dTkBrbqE #Poland #EnergyTransition #NetZero #ElectricityStorage #SustainableEnergy #RenewableEnergy

🌍🍀The decarbonisation agenda is a pressing priority for governments worldwide, and the #BalticSea region is emerging as a critical area for #renewableenergy development, particularly #offshorewind. In April 2024, eight countries bordering the Baltic Sea – #Lithuania, #Denmark, #Estonia, #Finland, #Germany, #Latvia, #Poland, and #Sweden – signed the Vilnius Declaration, pledging to collaborate on advancing offshore #energy infrastructure in the region. This initiative aligns with the countries’ shared goal of increasing offshore wind capacity from 3.1GW to 19.6GW by 2030, underscoring the importance of offshore wind to both energy security and national security in the Baltic region.

The Energy Policy Group (#EPG) organised an anniversary conference on 28 May 2024 to mark a decade of activity. The conference entitled ‘EPG at 10: The Clean Energy Transition in Romania and the Southeast European Region’ brought together leading energy experts, government officials and civil society representatives to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the transition to a low-carbon economy. https://lnkd.in/d2-TfkXb

Neil Kermode joined the relaunch of the Marine Energy All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) this week. The group reconvened with Orkney and Shetland MP as Chair and brought together MPs and industry leaders from across the political spectrum and country to discuss the actions required to ensure the UK realises its marine energy potential: 🌊 Energy security 30 GW of untapped marine energy potential in the UK, enough to provide a third of its current electricity demand. 🌍 Economic growth Global export market is forecast to be worth over £70bn by 2050. 👷♀️ Supply chain development Over 80% UK supply chain content going into projects currently being deployed. https://lnkd.in/eCxR_sFS UK Marine Energy Council

Here Rod Sims and I clarify what the 'superpower' opportunity is for Australia and why it's important to distinguish this from many of the challenges Australia faces in the domestic energy transition. https://lnkd.in/gPRMg_B4 

Ireland's Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan, brings Exciting News! 🔍 The draft South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP) has been unveiled, marking Ireland's first-ever spatial plan for renewable energy at sea. 🌬️ Four proposed areas off the south coast have been identified for offshore wind projects, aiming to deliver approximately 900MW capacity by 2030. 💼 An independent economic analysis predicts significant benefits, including €4.4bn inward investment and 49,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) years of employment. 🏝️ Over 65% of these opportunities could benefit the south coast region, fostering local economic growth. 📝 The draft South Coast DMAP is open for public consultation for six weeks. (From  3 May 2024-14 June 2024) Have your say and learn more here: https://lnkd.in/drVHbcDJ Let's shape a sustainable future together! 🌍 #RenewableEnergy #SouthCoastDMAP #SustainableDevelopment #IrelandEnvironment

"[I]t is undoubtedly hugely ambitious to get to clean power by 2030. It requires not only for us to do everything that we can do quicker, but also very, very differently as well.” ⛵ We've always known that 'business as usual' isn't going to cut it if the UK is to meet its clean energy targets. Now there's finally some wind in our sails—we can't let it go to waste. Time for bold action and a ground-up rethinking of our energy infrastructure. Let's get to work. https://hubs.li/Q02RCwG70

Energy communities will contribute to creating a sustainable energy system in 🇲🇩 This is the conclusion of a policy dialogue by the Ministry of Energy, UNDP, USAID, 🇸🇪 🇩🇰. Energy communities not only produce clean energy but also reduce energy bills.
