Empowering the Green Transition - Week 47/2024
This week’s newsletter dives into key developments shaping the future of energy and mobility. From Europe’s efforts to enhance energy data sharing to New Jersey’s push for increased energy storage capacity, we explore how policy and innovation are driving progress. Discover insights from COP29 in Azerbaijan as nations collaborate on climate finance, and learn how EVgo and Meijer are expanding EV infrastructure across the U.S. Midwest. We’re also proud to share highlights from Codibly’s participation at the OpenADR++ Users Conference in London, where our experts discussed scalable energy solutions. ☀️🌿🚗🔋 Enjoy the read! ☕
Europe's 'Data for Energy' group initiates efforts to enhance energy data sharing
The European Commission has launched the 'Data for Energy' (D4E) working group, aiming to improve access to and sharing of energy-related data across Europe. This initiative focuses on developing recommendations and facilitating best practices for data access, sharing, and reuse within the energy sector. The ultimate goal is to establish a common European data space for energy, supporting the EU's energy transition and digitalization objectives. The D4E group operates under the broader Smart Energy Expert Group, which held its inaugural meeting in October 2024. Learn more here.
COP29 host Azerbaijan calls for collaboration as climate finance negotiations enter final stage
As COP29 in Baku approaches its conclusion, host nation Azerbaijan has urged participating countries to intensify cooperation to finalize a climate finance agreement. The primary focus is on establishing a new financial framework to support developing nations in addressing climate change. Azerbaijan's proposal includes developed countries contributing $250 billion annually by 2035, with a broader goal of mobilizing $1.3 trillion from public and private sources within the same timeframe. This initiative aims to bridge the financial gap and ensure global equitable support for climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. See the full details here.
New Jersey proposes incentives to boost energy storage capacity
The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) has proposed the New Jersey Storage Incentive Program (NJ SIP) to enhance the state's energy storage capacity. This initiative offers upfront and performance-based financial incentives for both grid-connected and behind-the-meter energy storage systems. The program aims to support privately owned, standalone energy storage installations and solar-plus-storage systems not covered by the existing Successor Solar Incentive program (SuSI). The BPU plans to launch the grid-connected incentive program in early 2025 and the behind-the-meter incentive program in 2026, aligning with New Jersey's goal of achieving 2 GW of installed energy storage capacity by 2030.

A number of the week: 63%
China currently produces 63% of the world’s solar photovoltaics (PV), driving the global shift towards renewable energy. This dominance has significantly reduced solar PV costs, making solar energy more accessible worldwide. Looking ahead, China is projected to maintain over 80% of global photovoltaic manufacturing capacity by 2030. With solar products priced 20-30% lower than competitors, according to the IEA, China's leadership in the solar and battery sectors continues to shape the future of renewable energy markets.
