Australia’s National Science Agency issued data on the cost of electricity technologies 2023 & 2030. LCOE range for variable renewables (solar PV & wind ) with integration costs is the lowest of all new‐build technologies. [GenCost 2023‐24: Final report, CSIRO,Australia]

#RenewableEnergy will supply most of the power capacity (MW) growth in the #USA in 2024 ( #Solar >60% ). In 2025, solar may exceed hydropower for the first year in history.
BUT, #FossilFuels still dominate all #Electricity production (almost 60%).

The race in green transition leadership gets new dimensions: #USA set to impose 100% tariff on #Chinese #electricvehicle imports ahead of the US election.
Is a full trade war between the U.S. and #China looming? New #Geopolitics affects Finland, too.

#ElectricVehicles honeymoon is ending.
Governments slap taxes on EVs as $110bn fuel duty shortfall looms. The net #Fuel tax loss in #Europe >€30B in 2030.
#Finland will not be an exception here.

The digital world will need much more clean energy in the future. Here's an example by #Microsoft how to response to the quest: largest-ever corporate clean energy deal for 10.5 GW.

UK ‘not exciting’ for green investors says former climate adviser. Many countries view that UK steps back on #ClimateAction .
If #Finland follows UK that will jeopardise the huge potential of green investments (€260B).

#PuertoRico can reach 100% #RenewableEnergy by 2050 with focus on energy affordability, resilience and reliability, land use, economic benefits.
Such a multidisciplinary approach fits #Finland too, lacking policy goals on wind and solar.

#USA plans to speed grid connections to unlock 2.6TW backlog. It is recommended that generators can elect energy-only connection & be curtailed instead of paying for network upgrades
Dynamic curtailment is interesting for #Finland too

The world installed 117 GW of new #wind #power capacity in 2023, a 50% increase from 2022, making it the best year for new wind projects on record.
To meet the Paris #climate goals, some 300GW/a of wind will be needed by 2030.

Global solar PV capacity hit 1.6 TW in 2023; 11-fold
growth in 10 years. With 20%/a growth, PV will exceed world power capacity (now 9 TW) in 2031.
Solar is a mover shaker technology, plays a key role in #energytransition

Record #renewable growth in 2023, representing 86% of world power capacity expansion.
Many countries are cut off from the benefits of #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition e.g. in #Africa .
Overcoming structural barriers and creating local value
is needed.

#SolarPower awaiting interconnection permit reaches 1086 GW (wind 366GW) in the USA. Pending transmission interconnection is increasing, also in #Finland , calling for more investments in grid infrastructure and regulatory support.

Soon 1yr ago Germany closed last #nuclear plants. Predictions of supply risks/price hikes/dirty coal replacing carbon-free nuclear have not materialised. Instead, record #renewables use/lowest #coal use in 60yrs/falling energy prices/major drop in #CO2 .

New #nuclear reactor types will not solve waste and safety issues , says a new study. Substantial R&D is still required and their potential boost for #climate action therefore had to be considered “not realistic'.
