Statkraft’s Post

Tuesday has arrived so we're taking a look at our first #TravelTuesday from our new summer issue of Energy Global! ⛱️ 🌴 In this issue, Wilmar Suárez, Latin America Energy Analyst, Ember, highlights the benefits and challenges of renewable energy development in Latin America and the Caribbean. 🌎 The article provides an overview of renewable activity in the region, how renewable potential can be optimised using flexibility as an engine for investment and efficiency, and more! 🤔 Read the full issue today. 😎 🔗 https://bit.ly/3NwDhus #Renewables #LatinAmerica #Caribbean #Power #Flexibility #Grid #EnergyGlobal

Costa Rica is one of the world's leading examples of clean electricity. During favorable years, the country has generated nearly 100% of its electricity from renewable sources including hydropower, geothermal energy, wind, solar, and biomass for extended periods. Surplus renewable electricity can also be exported through the Central American regional power grid to neighboring countries when available. Although Costa Rica still relies on fossil fuels for some transportation and industrial activities, its electricity system demonstrates how a modern nation can operate largely on renewable power while maintaining a reliable and stable electrical grid.

“Denmark leads with the highest share of electricity from renewable sources in the EU at 90 per cent – mostly wind power – according to Eurostat. In second place thanks to an abundance of hydropower, Portugal boasts 82.9 per cent, followed by Lithuania, with 75.7 per cent.”

An efficient & great example of #HydroSolarCombination : China Commissions Massive #Hybrid #Hydro-#Solar #PowerPlant, with a smart coordination systems using #reservoirflexibility to balance #solarvariability. 🌞💧 As #renewableenergy capacity continues to expand, one of the industry's biggest #challenges remains unchanged: how to manage intermittent power generation at scale. China may have found one answer. : Huaneng Group has officially commissioned Xiaowan Hybrid Hydro-Solar Project in Yunnan Province, combining an existing 4.2 GW #hydropowerplant with an additional 1.23 GW of #solar capacity to create a #renewableenergycomplex with a total capacity of 5.43 GW. Rather than treating #hydropower and #solar energy as separate assets, the project integrates both technologies into a coordinated system. ☀️ 1.23 GW of newly added solar capacity + 💧 4.2 GW existing hydropower infrastructure = ⚡ 5.43 GW total renewable capacity, with a smart coordination systems using #reservoirflexibility to balance #solarvariability As more countries increase their reliance on renewables, #hybridsystems that combine #complementary #energysources are emerging as a potential blueprint for maintaining reliability without sacrificing decarbonization goals. #Hydropower #Solar #Wind #RenewableEnergyProjectDevelopment #BlueEnergy #HybridSolarandHybridWindProjectsDevelopment #FloatingSolar #ElectricityGenerationPlannningandOptimisation #ElectricityPurchaseProcurementSalesTradingandAggregationServices #PlantOperationalManagement #ManagementConsulting #RenewableEnergyConsultingServices #EnergyStorage #EnergyManagement #AssetManagement #OperationalIntelligence #ArtificialIntelligence #Digitalisation #PreventiveandPredictiveMaintenance #CleanEnergyTransition

Sri Lanka is emerging as a renewable energy leader, generating over 63% of electricity from clean sources with a 70% target by 2030. Strong solar, wind, and hydropower drive its shift toward sustainable energy 📈 For more info: https://bit.ly/4y6usgm #RenewableEnergy #SriLankaEnergy #CleanEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #GreenEnergy

Statkraft is expanding its renewable energy footprint in Peru with the development of the 72 MW Emma wind project in Piura. Expected to generate 325 GWh of clean electricity annually, the project will become the company’s first wind farm in the country and complement its existing hydropower assets and growing solar pipeline. With capacity factors exceeding 50%, the Emma project highlights Peru’s strong renewable energy potential and the increasing role of diversified clean energy portfolios in delivering reliable, competitive, and low-carbon power. 🔗 https://ow.ly/hgSw50ZjzcY #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Sustainability

All renewable energy news. Very different stories. Here’s what’s been happening in the US and Europe: Europe: records. - EU renewable share hit 26.2% of total energy use, up from 25.2% last year (Sweden's at 65.4%, mostly biomass, hydro and wind) - $30B Morocco-Germany undersea cable, the longest power link ever proposed, just stalled over guarantees and corporate structure disputes. US: mixed signals. - Solar PPA prices dropped 4.8% quarter-on-quarter, the first decline in two years, as corporate buyers cool off. - Wind PPA prices jumped 5.5% on permitting delays and supply chain costs. - University of California, Berkeley researchers say off-grid solar, wind, storage and heat pumps could economically cover a third of US industrial heat demand by 2035. Everyone's watching the price swings. I think the industrial heat number is the one that gets underrated.

SPAIN'S GRID HIT 100% RENEWABLE POWER ON A WEEKDAY Spain's peninsular grid met all weekday electricity demand with renewables on April 16, driven by wind, solar, hydro, and smaller renewable sources, according to Red Electrica. It was a one-day milestone rather than proof of a permanently fossil-free grid, but it shows how fast renewable generation is pushing grid operations into new territory.
