Ahead of next year’s World Energy Congress in Rotterdam, Claudio Seebach, regional vice-chair, Latin America & Caribbean at the World Energy Council, explains how countries can learn valuable lessons from Chile when it comes to increasing energy storage deployment and accelerating the energy transition
Inflation, permitting delays and supply chain disruption have dominated wind industry discussion in 2023, but there are reasons for the industry to be positive as we head into 2024 too.
The US Department of Energy is set to invest $7bn in seven regional hubs for green hydrogen development, to unlock total investment of $50bn. This has also given a major boost to serial winners including Air Liquide, GTI Energy and Plug Power.
A lack of consensus on the optimal storage technology is acting as a 'barrier to growth' of the sector, here Tamarindo's Energy Storage Report identifies the storage technologies expected to substantially increase market share by the end of the decade
New York has rejected calls from the developers of four offshore wind and 86 other renewables projects to boost PPA prices. This puts the US offshore wind industry in a perilous position ahead of our Financing Wind Offshore conference, but a new 4GW tender could offer a way forward.
