With Gerard Reid, we bring in the star of the week, Ember Dave Jones Dave Jones , to discuss the Global Electricity Review 2024, published last week.
Main take aways (thank you Nat Bullard ):
- Renewable sources (hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass) are now…

A meal out for two🥣 Or 430 watts of solar..?

If this the most important thing to protest on in Germany's energy transition (I'm not sure these guys will ever NOT protest?!)... then I think Germany's energy transition should take this as a compliment👍

STUBBORN OPTIMISM:

It's really cool that the amazing Christiana Figueres cites our work, showing how the fast-moving clean energy transtion counters some of the despair that there is in the world right now💪

April in the EU🇪🇺 was the lowest ever monthly...
- Fossil generation (24%)
- Coal generation (9%)
- Gas generation (12%)

Wow

Battery prices in China are crashing 🤯

The clean energy transition is about to get very interesting...👀

More evidence that if gas/ #LNG needs to be imported, the future for gas is not as bright in baseload power generation. Renewables/batteries are putting a dent in gas demand investments & while data centers may need 24/7 power, they don’t necessarily need gas to provide it. #ONGT

A thread on global gas generation🧵

Global gas generation would be falling, if it wasn't for the US..
