More united approach needed for nations to completely eliminate coal-fired power plants
Active coal-fired power plants are enough to prevent the world from achieving the global warming target set in the Paris Climate Agreement. Currently, more than 60% of the major active coal power capacity is in the Asia-Pacific region, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Somik Das, Senior Power Analyst at GlobalData, comments: […]
US, China and India to be major markets for power transmission and distribution conductors over next four years
The global markets for transmission and distribution conductors are forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1% and 3.6%, respectively, between 2020 and 2024. The US, China, and India will propel the global markets over the next four years, with the three countries accounting for a share of 42.4% (transmission) and […]
Greece’s target of phasing out coal by 2028 is ‘highly optimistic’
Greece apportioned EUR5bn (US$5.9bn) to phase-out the use of coal by 80% by 2023, to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint. These are highly optimistic targets, particularly considering the fact that back in 2015 coal-based generation formed 41.6% of the generation mix. In 2019 this reduced to 27.9%, which, by 2030, if not entirely staged out, is […]
Renewable energy in Chile gets more attractive with its major capacity build-up during 2019-30, says GlobalData
The Chilean renewable market stands to reap the benefits of its renewables’ potential and its intent to lower the price of electricity for the customers. The country has put in gigantic efforts to promote renewable expansion to contribute to its decarbonization plan and achieving the target of attaining carbon neutrality by 2050. The Chilean renewable […]
Italian renewable industry expands future renewable development amid land constraints and commercial viability
The Italian Government is expanding the integration of renewables in its generation mix to create an infrastructure for supporting sustainable green generation, thereby tackling the issues of land constraints and making continuous strides in meeting the net carbon neutrality ambition by 2050. The constant decline in the development costs for offshore wind and floating solar […]
Offshore wind capable to support Norway’s power export while it remains majorly dependent on hydropower, says GlobalData
Norway has majorly been a net electricity exporter and is amongst the top 10 electricity exporting nations in Europe. Primarily reliant on hydropower, the country is an open electric market and its grid is well integrated with the other Nordic countries namely Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. To further support its electricity export, Norway […]
Poland’s ambitious amendments to PEP40 is strong enough to expedite the shift from coal power
A combination of rising carbon emission costs, the EU’s ambitious climate policies and the impact of COVID-19 is encouraging Polish authorities to expedite its energy transformation. The upgraded energy strategy, currently awaiting government approval, demonstrates the country’s desire to decay coal-based generation’s share in electricity generation, with investment pointed towards atomic and offshore wind project […]
APAC to lead global wind gearbox and direct-drive equipment markets over next four years, says GlobalData
Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to continue to lead the global wind gearbox and direct-drive equipment markets between 2020 and 2024 with a projected market share of 50.7% and 64%, respectively, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. GlobalData’s latest report, ‘Wind Gearbox and Direct-Drive, Update 2020 – Global Market Size, Competitive Landscape and Key Country […]
Proposed offshore wind auction entry fee to delay energy transition in Germany
The German economy ministry recently proposed an amendment to the offshore wind law to introduce a second bid component, which will evaluate competing players offering to construct subsidy-free offshore wind projects and encourage them to contribute to an ‘entrance fee’ for participating in the auction. This move will eliminate small players from the auction such […]
