If you watched the recent series of ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’ you would have seen the winner of the competition given a commission from the Science Museum to produce a painting reflecting the renewable energy revolution in Orkney. So, why did they chose Orkney to showcase renewable power generation? Orkney, a group of islands off the northeast coast of Scotland, has been quietly making waves in the renewable energy sector and is now leading the UK in clean energy generation. Surrounded by strong winds and powerful currents, Orkney is an ideal location for wind turbines and tidal energy projects. The islands are home to some of the most innovative renewable energy technologies in the country, such as the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC), which tests wave and tidal energy devices. One key factor driving Orkney's success in renewable energy generation is its community-driven approach to sustainability. Local residents are actively involved in planning and implementing green initiatives, ensuring that projects align with both environmental goals and economic development. Additionally, partnerships between government entities, private sector companies, and academic institutions have fostered a collaborative environment that fast-tracks innovation in clean energy technologies. As a result, Orkney has become a shining example of how local communities can lead the way towards a greener future for the entire country. Orkney generates more renewable energy than it needs. In fact, on some particularly windy days, the islands produce over 120% of their electricity demand. This surplus energy is often exported to the mainland through undersea cables. The excess renewable energy from Orkney helps to offset carbon emissions on the mainland by reducing the reliance on fossil fuel-powered plants. Additionally, as mainland countries aim to transition to cleaner and greener sources of power, they look towards Orkney as a beacon of success in sustainable energy generation and distribution. In conclusion, Orkney's commitment to renewable energy generation serves as a beacon of inspiration for other regions looking to transition away from fossil fuels. By harnessing its natural resources and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, Orkney has positioned itself as a trailblazer in sustainable development. With its innovative solutions and community-driven mindset, Orkney is setting new standards for clean energy production not just within the UK but on a global scale. #OrkneyRenewables #GreenEnergyUK #SustainableScotland #RenewableRevolution #EcoInnovationIsles

🌍 It's not (just) hippies - we promise! 🇧🇪 From offshore wind projects in Belgium, to a cooperative factory for the manufacturing of renewables technologies, energy communities are already showcasing that citizens can actively contribute to the re-industrialisation wave of Europe. Read on in our joint op-ed with our members ènostra, Seacoop , and Energifællesskaber Danmark for Euronews about this wave of green, and socially just industrial projects. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3xZakm3

5 ways district energy is powering the cities of tomorrow⚡️   As cities worldwide tackle the challenges of the energy transition, district energy has the potential to transform urban energy systems and pave the way for greener societies.   We have gathered five cases from Denmark’s district energy transformation showcasing how: 🔹 Smart “flexumers” in Copenhagen align energy consumption with renewable sources. 🔹 Seawater cooling cuts energy usage in Copenhagen by 80%. 🔹 Waste-to-energy at Amager Bakke supplies power and heat to 150,000 homes and captures CO2 emissions. 🔹 Renewable district heating in Hvide Sande keeps costs low and efficiency high. 🔹 Seasonal heat storage bridges the gap between renewable energy production and winter demand in Denmark’s capital region.   Read more and discover the cases: https://lnkd.in/dfg2wskR  Or download our full white paper on district energy: https://lnkd.in/dKz4wbMt

The Orkney Islands continue to be at the forefront of small-scale renewable adoption in the UK , with more than one in four households in the local authority having an MCS certified installation. There are a range of factors driving uptake in the region, from the cost of energy to local policies and community efforts.

I won't confess to having read every paragraph of this report, but I'm interested in finding out more when it comes to decommissioning and repowering our older assets, and developing new renewable low carbon energy projects: 🌍 There are opportunities for the UK to capture more of the value chain for key clean energy industries and the potential to drive inward investment in domestic supply chains. (Page 43). 🌍 We will ensure communities directly benefit from clean energy infrastructure they host by building upon existing approaches and encourage consistency in community benefits across technologies.
