The inclusion of development projects in Mpumalanga is an attempt to cushion that region from the economic impact of facilities closing down. Almost all of South Africa’s electricity — more than 80% of which comes from coal — is generated in the province.

Russia is expected to reduce both oil and natural gas production this year, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. Oil is projected to fall by 8 million tons to 527 million tons, compared to 535 million tons last year, he said.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $3.5 billion from the Infrastructure Law to boost domestic production of advanced batteries and battery materials nationwide.

Indonesia’s investment plan, known as the Comprehensive Investment and Policy Plan (CIPP), states that Indonesia aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its power generation to 44% by 2030 (18% in 2022).

Kazakhstan’s National Atomic Company Kazatomprom has signed a contract for the supply of natural uranium concentrate with China National Uranium Corporation Limited (CNUC - a subsidiary of China National Nuclear Corporation).

The Paks II project was launched in 2014 by an inter-governmental agreement between Hungary and Russia for two VVER-1200 reactors (units 5&6) to be supplied by Rosatom.

The agreement also said necessary regulations should be developed to create the conditions for the construction and operation of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. In addition, the permitting process for nuclear power plants must be shortened.

Blockchain's ability to enable peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions and operate a decentralized marketplace can facilitate consumers to be the producers of energy.

The Commission set up a European SMR pre-Partnership in June with the overall objective of identifying enabling conditions and constraints, including financial ones, towards safe design, construction and operation of SMRs in Europe in the next decade and beyond in compliance with the EU legislative framework in general and to the Euratom legislative framework in particular.

Many oil and gas, drilling, and extraction operations take place in remote locations, and in many cases, it is not possible for these processes to be fuelled by electricity from the grid. It is here that microreactors (MRs) or small modular reactors (SMRs) could provide a low carbon alternative.

A total of $3.5 billion will flow to 58 projects selected in 44 different states for funding. All the named projects are designed to make energy infrastructure climate-proof. Anticipated results include expanding clean energy suppliers, microgrid investments, and significantly increasing gigawatts of renewable energy capacity.

Addressing electric transmission capacity constraints and congestion is an existential necessity to maintain grid reliability while meeting demand.

The ceiling for bids from offshore wind companies in the next auction round is likely to be considerably more than this year’s £44 ($54) of guaranteed revenue per megawatt-hour of power produced, according to people familiar with the matter.

In the United States last year, according to the Energy Information Administration, natural gas accounted for 39.9 percent of electricity production; coal, 19.7 percent; nuclear, 18.2 percent; and renewables, the rest, although these are coming on fast.

Funding and support are abundantly available for clean energy projects in America. The federal government has allocated billions in funding to incentivize Americans to move to clean energy.
