CorPower Ocean will contribute in a policy session during EU Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels (EUSEW 2024) exploring actions to reinforce Europe's role in renewables development and manufacturing. Senior Project Manager Eunice Silva joins the panel “Renewables Made in Europe: Competitiveness of wind, solar and ocean energy”, co-organised by WindEurope, SolarPower Europe and Ocean Energy Europe. Offshore renewables are poised to become a fundamental pillar of the energy transition and energy security in the EU. By 2050, they can provide more than 300 GW or 20% of the electricity mix.  Ocean energy will play an important role offering highly predictable and consistent renewable electricity. Eunice will explain more about the mission to develop a new sustainable industry across Europe generating 500,000 qualified jobs – using local supply chains, ports and small vessels, avoiding supply chain constraints. The event comes shortly after CorPower Ocean contributed to a new ‘Guide for Decision Makers’ through the Working Group on Offshore Renewable Energies, established under the Clean Energy Industry Forum (CEIF) by the European Commission. The group, which also includes wind sector operators Vestas and Siemens Energy among others, aims to increase understanding on supply chains, while identifying challenges and potential implementation bottlenecks for reaching 2030 and 2050 offshore renewable targets.

On the latest trends in renewable energy: Record achievements in Europe🔋 In 2023, Europe reached a new record in the field of corporate deals for the procurement of energy from renewable sources, achieving a mark of 10.4 gigawatts. This represents a 40% increase compared to the results of the previous year, demonstrating an accelerated transition to sustainable energy sources among businesses in Europe. ♻️Spain and Germany stand out in particular, together accounting for about half of all volumes last year. Spain continues to lead as the largest PPA market, while Germany is strengthening its position, intending to become the most active market in 2024. It's important to note that new countries, such as Hungary, Slovenia, and Portugal, have joined the PPA market, indicating the expansion of geography and diversification of participants. At DEREX, we believe that these data confirm the significance and demand for renewable energy sources more than ever before. Investing in clean energy not only contributes to environmental protection but also opens new opportunities for business. Are you ready to connect in person this year?

"Green electrons" are essential for the energy transition and a key for Galp’s decarbonization strategy. The targets for renewable production in Portugal set out in the National Plan are undoubtedly ambitious, they require us to do more by 2030 than we have been able to in the last 20 years. The fundamentals for renewables investments in Portugal are here but there are challenges, and social acceptance is perhaps the biggest of them all. Both in Europe and Portugal, we need to get people on the side of renewable projects and make renewable investments a bottom up process, where people and communities actively ask for them.   Great pleasure to take part of APREN - Associação Portuguesa de Energias Renováveis’s Portugal Renewable Energy Conference 2023 discussing “Challenges for Renewables in Europe and Portugal” with Álvaro Brandão Pinto (Total Energies), Pedro Norton (Finerge), David Rivera (Iberdrola), Rui Maia (Ventient), and Pedro Amaral Jorge.

Exploring energy standards across continents. Here’s what I’ve learned from working in Australia, Italy, and beyond. In Australia, the National Energy Productivity Plan aims for a 40% improvement by 2030, focusing on significant energy efficiency and a rapid expansion in renewable energy, with renewables expected to generate 83% of electricity by 2030. Meanwhile, Italy is advancing towards carbon neutrality with a strong push on renewable installations and reducing energy consumption, especially through building energy efficiency, aiming for substantial emissions reductions by 2050. Both nations are adapting quickly to global energy challenges, enhancing both energy security and sustainability. #GlobalStandards #EnergySector #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GlobalStandards #EnergySector
