im Winter 2022/2023. Es kam aber ganz anders, zeigt eine neue Analyse. Seit dem Kompromiss zum vorgezogenen Kohleausstieg zwischen Land, Bund und RWE wurde wesentlich weniger Braunkohle zur Stromerzeugung benötigt als von der Landesregierung angenommen. Auch in den kommenden Jahren wird der Kohlebedarf wohl deutlich unter den Erwartungen der Politik liegen. Das ist das Ergebnis einer aktuellen...

about the network fees. In total, a good 2023 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity were lost in 19 due to grid bottlenecks. For comparison: This corresponds to around four percent of Germany's total electricity generation. Wind farms at sea and on land were particularly affected. In return, other power plants that would not have actually entered the market during these phases had to produce a good 14 TWh...
Newsletter XIV 2024 - March 31st to April 6th - News+ - It's not just Germany that is getting out
The claim that renewable energies that depend on the weather and the season are reliable has been massively mistaken. [...] Worse, through our purchase of oil, natural gas, coal and even uranium to generate electricity in the EU, we are financing Islamist terrorist regimes and the Russian war in Ukraine. The attacks by the Yemeni terrorist group Houthi on transport ships in the Red Sea as well as...
attributed EnBW primarily to the “Sustainable Generation Infrastructure” segment, which the new boss Georg Stamatelopoulos has so far been responsible for. EnBW announced that the result developed positively, particularly in thermal power generation – for example from coal and gas. Due to increased market prices and fluctuations, the amounts of electricity generated are too significant compared to 2022...

This is not just due to the coal-fired power plants. CFO Michael Müller calculates: "Last year, 35 percent of our electricity came from renewable sources, with electricity generation from gas coming in second place and electricity production from coal coming last." Accordingly, coal and nuclear energy only provide eight percent of RWE's profits. [...] will not be extended...

In the United Kingdom, MPs complained that these protests were putting police under "continued pressure." Maybe that's the point of the protests. * Renewable | Electricity generation | Wind energy Wind power was the most important source of electricity generation in 2023. Almost a third of the electricity generated in Germany came from wind power in 2023. According to the Federal Statistical Office, this is due to more...
According to an analysis, the European Union fell more sharply last year than ever before. The 19 percent decline in emissions is due, on the one hand, to the sharp drop in electricity generation from coal and gas, according to a report published on Wednesday by the think tank Ember. Accordingly, electricity generation from coal has increased by 26 percent and from gas by 15...
shut down after 45 years of operation At 31:04 a.m. Moscow time on January 01, the second unit of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, an RBMK-1000 reactor, reached the end of its life and stopped generating electricity. It was put into operation in 1979. [...] The first unit in Kursk was shut down in December 2021. Originally, the service life of the four RBMK-1000 reactors of the...

Ramón Méndez Galain, who developed a plan to transform the energy supply. The British daily newspaper The Guardian now took stock: Today, Uruguay has almost completely eliminated fossil fuels for electricity generation.

In addition: In mid-2023, 407 reactors were online worldwide, four fewer than a year earlier and 31 fewer than the peak of 438 in 2002. The share of nuclear energy in global electricity generation even fell to its lowest level in around four decades in 2022, as the independent “World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2023” published on Wednesday shows. The renewable energies...

Although Brazil generates 78,1 percent of its electricity from renewable energies (mainly hydropower), preparations are already being made here to produce “green” hydrogen in the future and export it to Europe.

in hard coal and around 12 cents in lignite power plants. With wind energy, on the other hand, there are significantly lower running costs; once the wind turbine is set up, electricity generation is almost free. French nuclear power is comparatively cheap because the companies were nationalized and rehabilitated with tax money; otherwise they would have gone bankrupt. So you could also say:...

Businesses in the area should be supplied with electricity. However, as the costs of producing green electricity are falling rapidly, even SMRs no longer seem to be economical. Electricity generation from sun, water and wind is simply too cheap to invest in comparatively expensive nuclear power. Many supporters have therefore withdrawn from the project. The death knell...
Cadmium telluride base is lighter than existing alternatives. At the same time, they would provide significantly more electricity and would be comparatively cheap to produce.

should be included in the planned amendment to the Energy Industry Act (EnWG). The aim of the regulation is to use auctions to incentivize the use of otherwise regulated green electricity generation. Switchable loads such as power-to-heat systems or electrolyzers could then produce hydrogen or heat with these regeneratively generated amounts of electricity. On this path...
Electricity is treated. These private electricity supplies would be exempt from all duties and taxes. This would create an extremely favorable electricity price for industry, as solar and wind power generation is now the most cost-effective form of electricity generation - significantly cheaper than electricity from natural gas, coal or nuclear power, as recently reported by US investment bank Lazard...
