Electrification is efficiency. When we electrify our energy systems coupled with clean electricity, something remarkable occurs: significant inefficiencies disappear. In a decarbonized world, our energy demand will be much lower than it is today. www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electrific...

European gas demand is already declining expected to decline further in years ahead. The longer regulation allows for continued investment into the gas grid without a credible plan for decommissioning, the bigger the problem of stranded assets becomes. gasoutlook.com/analysis/eur...

Europe needs to decommission gas infrastructure as demand plummets - Gas Outlook

A new paper argues that governments need to minimise investment in gas infrastructure and plan for decommissioning.

Yes. You are totally right TWh also for solar

Others have considerably lower values, especially for nuclear but the same conclusions comes from this. PV delivers more electric energy than nuclear this year. www.pv-magazine.com/2024/05/20/s...

Solar and wind generation will soon pass nuclear, hydro

In a new monthly column for <b>pv magazine</b>, the International Solar Energy Society (ISES) explains how solar and wind are dominating power plant construction.

The capacity factors used are from the US www.energy.gov/ne/articles/...

What is Generation Capacity?

Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it's running at full blast. Learn more about this confusing energy term.

My calculation was as follows 367 GW of nuclear power times 92% capacity factor times 8769 hours in the year gives 2958 TWh of nuclear electricity, 1600 TW installed PV power (we will reach 2 TW only end of year) times 24% capacity factor gives 3364 MWh of solar electricity.

PV will produce more electricity than nuclear power in 2024 globally! And more PV capacity will be added this year than all existing nuclear power plants combined. www.pv-magazine.com/2024/09/19/w...

World now has five times more PV than nuclear power

Authors of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 the world had 408 operational reactors producing 367 GW in the middle of the year, which is significantly less than installed capacity predicti...

CEO Gunter Erfurt of Meyer Burger leaves the company. He was a tireless fighter for photovoltaics and the European PV industry. The lack of political support in Germany unfortunately even he could not overcome. www.pv-magazine.de/2024/09/18/c...

CEO Gunter Erfurt verlässt Meyer Burger

Neuer Chef des Schweizer Photovoltaik-Unternehmens ist Franz Richter. Das teilte Meyer Burger am Mittwoch mit. Auch der bisherige CFO Markus Nikles scheidet aus der Führungsriege aus. Im Zuge des R…

Gute Besserung!

Wind- und Solarstrom haben in der EU den Kohlestrom überholt. Vor 5 Jahren lag war der Kohlestromanteil noch doppelt so hoch wie der aus PV & Wind.
