Shaping The Future Technology of 15+ MW Offshore Wind

Top wind turbine manufacturers are in a competitive race to develop larger and more powerful offshore machines. These turbines commonly utilize permanent-magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) in direct-drive or gearbox-coupled configurations. However, due to the growing demand for critical rare-earth magnets, new generator technologies are emerging to ensure a stable supply chain. A collaborative study by

The Role of Semiconductors in the Renewable Energy Transition

Will the environmental cost of semiconductor production be offset by their contribution to the long-term green transition? Semiconductors facilitate the transition toward a decarbonised economy. Yet, the chip industry must build sustainability into its manufacturing processes to align with a net zero future. — Semiconductors are the basic building blocks of modern computing. They are

The Renewable Energy Law Review: Italy

The Italian energy transition represents one of the most important events towards low carbon Europe. In the country today renewable energy covers 39.4 per cent of electricity national generation. The main source is coming from hydroelectric plants (40%), followed by solar (20.4%), wind (17.4%), bioenergy (16.9%) and geothermal (5.2%). The development of renewable energy plants has increased, thanks also to the

Vertical farming could be the new big green investment adventure

Vertical farming could be the new big green investment adventure

Vertical farming is an upcoming and maturing farming concept that contributes to the green transition and leans on renewable energy development and production. The road to NZE 2050 demands a green transition in all sectors. Both well-known and innovative development and massive investments are needed, and it will create business opportunities. Vertical farming is an

Power Purchase Agreements – a driver for the green transition

A Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) is often characterised as a key driver for the green transition. But what is a PPA, and how does it work as a contract document within the green transition? A PPA is a power supply agreement between an investor/developer and a buyer on the purchase of a specific power production.

PPAs: Which One Do You Need?

Given the increased investment costs due to raw material prices of photovoltaic and wind plants (capital-intensive capacity), it is increasingly advantageous for developers to sign PPAs, securing the projects´ bankability. In fact, it is convenient that the cash flow of a new big plant coming online is known in advance, otherwise, it will be more

PPA Prices are Higher Than Ever 

The rush in wholesale prices of gas and electricity also drives up the average prices of long-term contracts (PPA) for renewable energy.  Long-term power purchase agreements provide the assurance that the project will bring the expected return on investment upon completion, reducing the uncertainty of cash flow derived from the sale of energy on the

The Case for New Electric Interconnectors

In October 2014, the European Council endorsed the European Commission’s proposal to extend the electric interconnectors target from 10% to 15% by 2030, considering cost factors and potential commercial exchanges. Electric Interconnectors: Facilitating Renewable Energy Exchange Across Europe Our energy production and consumption increasingly rely on interconnectors. Renewable sources like offshore wind and solar replace

What a clean power grid looks like

Massive amounts of new wind and solar will be a make-or-break ingredient of a net-zero grid. Solar power generated less than 4 percent of the world’s electricity in 2021; by 2050, solar’s share needs to jump to 33 percent. Wind power produced less than 7 percent of electricity globally last year; by 2050, that needs to grow to 35 percent. So said the International Energy Agency last year when it laid

Scientists Mapped Every Large Solar Plant

An astonishing 82% decrease in the cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy since 2010 has given the world a fighting chance to build a zero-emissions energy system which might be less costly than the fossil-fuelled system it replaces. The International Energy Agency projects that PV solar generating capacity must grow ten-fold by 2040 if we are to meet the dual tasks
