𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗗𝗨𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥! 📈⚡ The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) reports a new record for total electricity demand in the NEM for the June quarter due to colder weather. Decreased wind and hydro power saw a rise in gas and black coal. Batteries played a key role in supporting demand peaks, with generation more than doubling since last year. These trends highlight the evolving role of renewable energy and the importance of flexibility in our grids. Stay tuned for more updates! #EnergyDemand #RenewableEnergy #AEMO

🌎 Offshore Wind & ☀️ Solar News I always feel incredibly lucky being able to recruit within an industry I am so passionate about. We're back with another series of Offshore & Solar News. 🚨 Eight Baltic Sea Countries signed a joint declaration on collaborating closer to secure critical offshore energy infrastructure which is fantastic to see. 🚨SOLAR could power 40% of US ELECTRICTY by 2035! It's no surprise that Solar is an increasingly more popular technology and it's really exciting to see such a long term ambition for the industry I am super positive about this being achievable. 🚨 Dominion Energy launches first US Offshore Wind Turbine Installation Vessel, this is super exciting for the US and hopefully the future of many more to come 👏🏼 If you would like to be featured in the next issue, or have an exciting news story about the business you are a part of I'd love to find out more. ✉️ becky.bradnam@jacksonhogg.com #renewablenergy #solarenergy #solarnews #renewableengineering #renewablenews #

"Revolutionizing Wind Energy: Meet KoalaLifter, the Future of Turbine Installation and Maintenance" KoalaLifter is a groundbreaking self-climbing crane system engineered to revolutionize the installation and maintenance of onshore and offshore wind turbines. Its distinctive feature lies in the use of friction collars, which provide a secure and efficient method for the crane to ascend turbine towers. This innovative technology enables the KoalaLifter to offer a universally applicable solution that enhances operational efficiency in the wind turbine industry. By streamlining the process of maintaining and erecting wind turbines, KoalaLifter aims to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with these critical tasks, thereby supporting the growth and sustainability of wind energy infrastructure.

My focus on geothermal here is quite timely given yesterday's Council conclusions on geothermal after the IEA's excellent report. But to be clear Europe's energy mix is much more than just growing geothermal - it's also getting off Russian gas, boosting cities' abilities to make local heating and cooling planning, reforming electricity markets to boot gas out of the merit order more often --> all in the name of energy security / industrial competitiveness / energy price cuts and climate action.

Understanding the Horrible Year for US Offshore Wind Interesting podcast discussion about the unique set of risks for offshore wind. "... renewable energy in general is very, very susceptible to rising interest rates and offshore wind, even the most of all of the renewable energy sectors because it's so capital intensive. Our fuel is free, we say, but our fuel is really the cost of capital because we put so much capital out in upfront. And so as interest rates rose 300 bps, it just fundamentally changed the economics of the projects. And then on top of that, we had bespoke inflation, not just generic CPI but industry specific inflation that led to 30, 40% cost increases." -- David Hardy, CEO of Ørsted Offshore North America
