The accelerated build-out of #renewables will increase #energysecurity in Central Europe and bring down the #electricityprice for local industry and households by up to 29%, according to @EmberClimate research.
Our CEO says: "Wind is 17% of all the electricity consumed in Europe today and will be 43% by 2030. The whole of Europe is going to have to contribute. #NECP update offers a great opportunity to nail new targets and spell out the policies on #permitting and #grids."
🧵| G7 leaders will meeting in Hiroshima🇯🇵 next week & they need to talk #grids⚡️
According to @Reuters and @e3g, to scale up electricity grids & storage infrastructure to meet our #renewables goals by the mid-2030s, policymakers must turn targets into a clear "grid agenda".

2/3 | Grid interconnection is a strength in the EU and we must continue working together to develop clear outlines for new #electricity infrastructure, notes @FactFisching.

3/3 | We also welcome @johnpodesta's perspective: legislation to speed up grid deployment should “not push communities out of the decision-making process, but bring them in earlier”

🧵| What lessons can the 🇺🇸#US learn from the 🇪🇺#EU's 🔆#EnergyTransition?
As states and the Biden administration move towards #electrification, the US needs to rapidly expand its electric⚡️#grid to tap the potential of 🌱#renewables and lower carbon emissions.

2/5 | New York recently became the first US state to require its public power provider to generate all electricity from clean energy by 2030.
This will require more connections between renewables and the 🔌#grid.

3/5 | Plugging in 🚙cars, 🏠homes, and 🏭factories to renewables is a cornerstone of Biden’s plan to cut emissions, which means electricity demand in the US could roughly double by 2050, even as overall energy use goes down.

Reminder: While U.S. is arresting adults and abusing kids from Central America, China is pledging to invest $38 Billion to rebuild SA power grid, incl new #solar, #wind generation - goo.gl/uTx2VV #climatechange
Money quote: "We can install a (transmission line) that can send (#solar and #wind power) where it needs to go. We could even send it all the way to the U.S." goo.gl/uTx2VV - #renewables
Ironically, this was precisely the strategy of "Connect the Americas 2022" program launched by Secy State @HillaryClinton under @BarackObama in 2012 - goo.gl/A9htzY - #climatechange #RenewableEnergy
