“On a tour of a destroyed power plant—unidentified for security reasons—the monumental damage wrought by Russia’s spring campaign against Ukraine’s electricity-generation infrastructure is clear. The vast Soviet-era coal-fired power station is gutted: walls charred by a fire that that burnt for over 24 hours, windows blown out, roof collapsed, machinery wrecked, pipes and ducts broken; everywhere a mess of rubble, twisted metal support struts, flayed steel cables, wire.”

“Mingyang may be poised for its biggest European breakthrough yet as an Italian developer confirms it is in talks with the Chinese turbine maker to supply a 2.8GW floating offshore wind project. Renexia, the renewables arm of Italy’s Toto construction group, announced on LinkedIn that it has been in discussions with Mingyang over its planned Med Wind project off the coast of Sicily.”

“The UK’s 2030 target to cut greenhouse gas emissions is at risk unless the country can rapidly deploy renewables, ensure nearly all cars sold are electric and fit heat pumps in 10 per cent of homes, according to a report. The Labour government urgently needs to reduce emissions across the transport, building, industry and agriculture sectors in order to meet its decarbonisation goals, the Climate Change Committee said.”

“In May 2022, the European Commission published the REPowerEU plan. This plan aims to achieve dual objectives: (1) reducing dependence on Russian fossil fuels, and (2) fast-tracking the clean energy transition. We are publishing this dataset to assess whether the European Union achieved its short-term objectives in 2022 and whether the EU as a whole is on track to reach its ambitious 2030 targets under the REPowerEU plan.​ Given the interconnectedness of energy markets across Europe and globally, the level of progress towards the REPowerEU goals will have wide-ranging implications for the consumption and import of certain energy sources, including natural gas.​ This dataset will be updated regularly as new data becomes available. To the extent possible, we rely on publicly-available data sources.”

“The EU has had mixed success in providing the building blocks for the emerging renewable hydrogen market, according to a report by the European Court of Auditors. While the European Commission has taken a number of positive steps, challenges remain all along the hydrogen value chain, and the EU is unlikely to meet its 2030 targets for the production and import of renewable hydrogen. The auditors call for a reality check to ensure that the EU’s targets are realistic, and that its strategic choices on the way ahead will not impair the competitiveness of key industries or create new dependencies.”
