The European Union has committed to a net-zero economy by 2050. To get there, it must decarbonise the building stock, which accounts for 36% of EU carbon emissions. The current rate of renovation, however, is only one-third of that needed. Even the improvements that are being undertaken are delivering meagre savings of 9% to 17% primary energy. Europe therefore n...
Low-cost renewable energy can help to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon power system. These same resources offer the opportunity to optimize supply-side costs and substantially bring down a distribution utility's (discom) aggregate expenses. Reduced expenses can lead to the lowering of retail tariffs and an increase in the discom's cost-competitiveness...

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...

How do we take Europe’s building stock to net-zero by 2050? Currently, only around 1% of the building stock is renovated each year. Even worse, only 0.2% of the renovated floor area undergoes a deep renovation that saves more than 60% primary energy. To get Europe on track to decarbonise the building stock by 2050, the renovation rate needs to triple and the am...
