The Baltic electricity grid will be disconnected from the Russian controlled network BRELL and integrated into the European network in February 2025. From this moment on frequency of the electric grid has to be stabilized by local resources, and we will not be able to rely on outsider powers (in this case huge hydropower plants in Russia). On the top level these local resources are huge too. For example, nine big synchronous compensators will or are installed in the Baltics. The compensators in Latvia have been installed. Further the required Battery Energy Storage Systems are enormous as well. The plan is to have batteries with a total capacity of 160 MWh in two locations in Latvia. But the company Evecon in Estonia plans even more - two units with a total capacity of 400 MWh. But there is another level of local resources required – small and midsize companies working on infrastructure and storage solutions for electricity. Therefore @German-Baltic Chamber will host a conference on energy infrastructure and storage in Tallinn, Estonia on October 8. The conference will be followed by B2B meetings with the following German companies in Latvia on October 10 and 11: ·        AP Sensing ·        Elia Grid International (EGI) ·        ELTEC Green Energy GmbH ·        HIS Renewables GmbH ·        Megger ·        Notus energy Plan GmbH & Co. KG The project is financed by Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and carried out in partnership with Renewables Academy (RENAC). #grid #Latvia #Baltics #renewables #energy #bess #energystorage

It´s all about resilience! At the annual WindEurope event for onshore and offshore wind energy in Bilbao, VDMA Power Systems will be at the forefront of discussions on building a resilient supply chain in Europe!    Dr. Dennis Rendschmidt, General Manager VDMA Power Systems: “Ensuring the resilience of the wind energy supply in Europe is a central topic of our association’s work.“   The wind industry's call for establishing a European framework for a resilient energy system and ramping up future production includes:   ▪ Boosting demand  ▪ Ensuring and promoting fair competition ▪ Enhancing a regulatory framework for resilience For more information, please find our paper here: https://lnkd.in/eGVHm2uQ.   Here's the link to our program in Bilbao: https://lnkd.in/eBfcHqe8   Let's pave the way for a robust and resilient wind industry in Europe together!   #windindustry #windenergy #energysecurity #resilience #supplychain #VDMA

[Members News] Government of South Australia - Department of State Development and Hyundai E&C to Collaborate on Renewable Energy and Infrastructure During a visit to Seoul by South Australia's Minister for Trade and Investment, the Hon. Joe Szakacs, Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co.,Ltd. (Hyundai E&C) on October 21 signed a memorandum of understanding with the South Australian Government to collaborate on renewable energy, infrastructure, and housing projects. The agreement will focus on areas such as hydrogen, solar power, and offshore wind. With South Australia aiming for carbon neutrality and a 100% renewable energy mix by 2027, the partnership is expected to support the state's ambitious clean energy targets. Hyundai E&C also plans to contribute to infrastructure and housing developments to meet South Australia's growing needs.

On behalf of transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT, NKT has begun installing the 518 km of power cables for the SuedLink in Germany. The 525 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power cables will enable transmission of renewable energy generated in the northern parts of Germany to industrial areas in the South. SuedLink is one of the key corridor projects central to realising the Energiewende, Germany's long-term strategy for transitioning to renewable energy.

Celebrating one more milestone in the Europe and Central Asia Renewable Energy Scale-Up Program – #ECARES: the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors has approved $40 million for #Armenia's Energy Transition project, boosting the country’s efforts to modernize energy infrastructure and accelerate clean-energy transition. This investment will help: • Integrate 1.1 GW of renewable energy into Armenia's grid. • Reduce 540,000 tons of GHG emissions annually. • Attract $550 million in private investment. • Upgrade transmission substations with cutting-edge technology. • Increase the total capacity of transmission substations. ECARES is driving the renewable energy transition across the region, and this project is a key step towards a cleaner, more reliable energy future. I would like to thank our team on the ground for working hard on this important project and wish all involved successful implementation. Carolin Geginat Stephanie Gil Joern Huenteler Gor Khachatryan

Lightsource bp marks a milestone in #Poland with the 40MW Kotuń project reaching Commercial Operation. The Kotuń solar project reaching Commercial Operation marks the start of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement between #Microsoft and Lightsource bp inked in September last year for the 40MWac solar project. This drives further decarbonisation of the Polish grid and supports Microsoft's goal of achieving 100% renewable energy supply by 2025.
