But this year’s Europe Day might be different from others – Covid-19 requires a new solidarity between european citizens and member states. But #EuropeansagainstCovid is not the only reason why we need to discuss what kind of european solidarity
[FREE WEBINAR SERIES] Lessons learned: How to achieve a better Solar Park Performance Why does my solar power plant underperform and do I need to send a technician on-site? A number of experts decided to join forces in order to help IPPs and Solar Asset Managers better understand the challenges of the variability of solar park performance. Reuniwatt is proud to host the first webinar
In his Climate Speech on 23 Jan 2020, UN Climate Change Deputy Executive Secretary Ovais Sarmad called 2020 "a critical year for addressing climate change." In Europe, where tenders and PPAs are expected to push the market for largescale installations in the coming years, self-consumption is an important aspect, and the consumers are ready for the transition to renewables, too: 70% of Europeans surveyed intend
On 17 August 2015, the french government adopted the energy transition act for green growth. Almost five years later, Reunion Island is taking a lead with respect to their installed solar capacity and the country's energy transition. Stepping up the game When France set up its plan for energy transition, it aimed to cut the consumption of fossil fuels by 30% by 2030 and reduce
Following a tender for solar energy forecasting services in 2019, Reuniwatt has been one of the selected service providers. Reuniwatt’s solar irradiance forecasts will allow grid operator Terna to safely increase the PV share in Italy’s national grid, where around 10 GWp of new solar capacity are expected by 2023. Forecasting necessary for a successful energy transition in Italy Reuniwatt is a market leader in
Reunion Island is facing the challenge of saying goodbye to imported fossil fuels and reaching energy self-sufficiency by 2030, a goal defined in the region’s Multiannual Energy Program (PPE). In 2019, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency ADEME has delivered the latest report on the island’s development and future scenarios, which will allow this plan to become reality. Renewables on the Rise In March
