España se ha marcado algunos de los objetivos más ambiciosos de toda Europa en el ámbito de la energía renovable. El país tiene la intención de duplicar el porcentaje de energías renovables en el mix eléctrico e ir de un 37% en 2015, aproximadamente, a un 74% en 2030, con la energía solar y eólica encabezando la marcha hacia esos objetivos. Pero seguimo...
Spain has set some of the most ambitious renewable energy targets in Europe. The country is planning to double the share of renewables in its electricity mix from roughly 37% in 2015 to 74% in 2030, with solar and wind power leading the way towards those targets. But a question remains: How can Spain reap the full benefits of the energy transition while ‘keepin...
In a webinar organised by the Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) on Modelling Electricity Generation & Transmission Systems’ Adequacy, Christos Kolokathis spoke about how to achieve reliability and system flexibility at least cost in a decarbonised power system. He highlighted well functioning energy and ancillary services markets....
At the end of January 2020, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, ENTSO-E, opened a public consultation to solicit comments on its proposed methodologies associated with cross-border participation in capacity mechanisms. ENTSO-E is developing the methodologies in response to the requirement set out in the EU regulation on the inte...
In December 2019, the European Network of Transmission System operators for Electricity, ENTSO-E, asked stakeholders to comment on the organisation’s proposal for a Methodology for a European Resource Adequacy Assessment (ERAA). The purpose of the ERAA is to assess the risks to a secure supply of electricity over the next 10 years. These public comments were ...
Nella recente proposta di Piano nazionale integrato per l’energia e il clima, l'Italia ha fissato degli obiettivi ambiziosi per aumentare le quote di energie rinnovabili e si è impegnata a chiudere tutte le centrali a carbone entro il 2025. In seguito a tali sviluppi, alle preoccupazioni sulla sostenibilità economica delle centrali elettriche e alla generale ...
With global electric vehicle (EV) sales on the rise, policymakers around the world are accelerating efforts to facilitate development of the necessary charging infrastructure and to integrate EVs into the power system at least cost. Turkey is just starting down this path, with around 1,000 electric vehicles on the road. However, as the population grows and car ow...
In its recent draft National Energy and Climate Plan, Italy set ambitious targets for increasing the share of variable renewable energy and committed to closing all coal plants by 2025. These developments, coupled with concerns about the economic viability of power plants and the ability to “keep the lights on,” resulted in the government introducing a capaci...
In this webinar from the International Energy Agency’s User-Centred Energy Systems programme, Dr. Julia Hildermeier and Christos Kolokathis explored three promising practices for EV grid integration: smart pricing, smart technology and smart planning. They also shared policies for accelerating the transitions to cleaner transport and energy at least cost....
