| Study Charts Rapid Growth of Wind and Solar in US  A new report from the non-profit research group, Climate Central, analyzing historical data on wind and solar energy in the US from 2014-2023 finds the amount of electricity produced from these two sources has increased over that period. | Electric/Hybrid | The Changing Nature of the Forecourt in the Face of Growing EV Adoption  More and more countries are identifying their official phase-out dates for the sale of petrol and diesel cars. The European Union announced in 2023 that member states will be required by law to ban the sale of these vehicles by 2035 , while other European countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Greece are among the countries looking to phase them out earlier. | Poland
Ascend Elements and Elemental Strategic Metals establish EV battery recycling JV Report Finds Fundamental Changes Needed to Scale Electric Vehicles in US Geothermal | Sinopec Completes Drilling of China's Deepest Geothermal Exploration Well  China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation has successfully completed the drilling of China's deepest geothermal exploration well, the Fushen-1 Well in Hainan with a well depth of 5,200 meters. The milestone has revealed the mechanism of deep geothermal formation and enrichment in South China, the new breakthrough in the exploration of hot dry rock in terms of demographic region and depth is of great significance to enhance the large-scale development and utilization of geothermal resources in South China and aid the energy structure adjustment. | Hydrogen Hydrogen uncertainty could delay uptake of low-carbon heating says Cornwall Insight Interviews | Addressing challenges in the commercial EV space: An interview with Mark Braby of Synop  Earlier this year, energy management provider for commercial fleets, Synop, announced the launch of Synop Link to enable streamlined, automated and seamless management of distributed energy resources (DERs) at onsite commercial EV fleet charging stations. REM spoke to Synop’s Chief Commercial Officer Mark Braby to discuss how this new system will address complex challenges in the commercial EV space, as well as enabling greater sustainability. | Ocean Energy Panorama | Grid Connection Backlog in US Grows by 30% in 2023  The backlog of new power generation and energy storage seeking transmission connections across the US grew again in 2023, with nearly 2,600 gigawatts (GW) of generation and storage capacity now actively seeking grid interconnection, according to new research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. | European Solar Heating and Cooling Sector Delivers its Manifesto US Bureau of Land Management publishes final rules to implement SEIA solutions Wärtsilä calls for urgent action in the US to enable more flexible power systems Solar Heat Sector Welcomes Council's Adoption of EPBD and its Solar Mandate PV Storage World's Largest Thermal Energy Storage to be Built in Finland Italy
Nuveen Infrastructure and Exus to co-develop 800 MW Italian battery storage project BESS safety report highlights urgent need for enhanced safety standards Wind | Global Wind Power Production is “Very Predictable” Finds Eoltech Study  Eoltech, a leading wind and solar resource assessment consultancy, released today the findings of a new study that aimed at assessing the variations of the global wind resource over the last 15 years. The data show that worldwide wind power production is very predictable, with annual variations remaining within a ± 3 % range. These results are based on irec index, the wind energy index covering 80% of the world’s onshore wind farms installed as of 2023. | DNV calls for bold action from the US to build HVDC transmission for offshore wind Agenda EV Charging Infrastructure Summit - North America ACP RECHARGE: Energy Storage Summit |
