SPD state leader Florian von Brunn calls for the construction of large battery storage systems at the previous locations of nuclear power plants in Bavaria - and accuses the state government of inactivity in this area as well. "Today, battery storage with many hundreds of megawatts of power is possible. I want such storage as soon as possible in the Free State," said the SPD's top candidate in the state parliament of the German Press Agency in Munich. Bavaria must...

Status: 02/04/2023 06:25 a.m Private solar systems are being installed on more and more roofs. In local energy communities, sourcing electricity from neighbors could greatly reduce costs. In practice, this is hardly possible - at least in Germany. Around 2.2 million solar systems are installed throughout Germany. Owners often use part of the self-generated electricity in their own home and feed excess electricity into the public grid. However, the state feed-in tariff has fallen noticeably in recent years: 8.2 cents...

It is thanks to renewable energies that Europe has been able to avoid a more serious energy crisis than the one it has gone through.

A year marked by energy upheavals precipitated by the war in Ukraine.In detail, wind and solar provided in 2022 almost a quarter (22%) of...
A significant increase in wind and especially solar energy and a sharp drop in electricity consumption in recent months has saved the European Union from a worse energy crisis in 2022. This is the conclusion reached by British environmental and energy think tank Ember in its "European Electricity Review" analysis of the EU's electricity market. Accordingly, wind power and photovoltaics contributed more than a fifth (22 percent) to consumption for the first time. Meanwhile, the revival of coal feared for...

Opponents of pension reform have not finished expressing their anger. While waiting for the new day of national, interprofessional and inter-union mobilization next Tuesday, the energy sector - from power plants, to refineries, via ports and docks - was affected by a strike by employees on Thursday. Result: new drops in electricity production were recorded overnight.These reductions, strictly supervised by the manager of the RTE high voltage lines, normally have no effect for the general public and above all affect...
