Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has entered into a partnership with Bute Energy (Bute) to invest in a 2,000 MW portfolio of onshore wind and solar projects, some with co-located battery energy storage systems, under development in Wales (United Kingdom).

Halting the certification process means the 55 Bcm/year pipeline -- which was completed in September -- will be unable to begin commercial operations.

Swedish Modular Reactors has been granted just over SEK99 million ($10.6m) in support of demonstrating a smaller lead-cooled reactor. Solkompaniet Sverige has been granted SEK14.4 million to support demonstrating a smart solar park.

"What we've seen over the last six months is that Gazprom has delivered always at the lowest level," she told the Munich Security Conference.

EDF says it is to raise EUR2.5 billion (USD2.8 billion) to help cover the costs of measures imposed to limit French energy bills and a projected fall in nuclear output.

Russia and Brazil already have ties in the nuclear energy field with a memorandum of understanding signed in 2017 by Rosatom and Brazil’s Electrobras and Electonuclear to promote cooperation in nuclear power.

The Company's gas exports to the countries beyond the FSU amounted to 17.9 billion cubic meters, which is 35.5 per cent (or 9.8 billion cubic meters) lower than the figure for the same period of 2021.

The lodged offers represent over AUD 100 billion (USD 71.7bn/EUR 63bn) of potential investment in 24 solar parks, 13 onshore and seven offshore wind farms, 35 large-scale batteries and eight pumped hydro plants. It is estimated that these projects have the potential to deliver more than 100,000 GWh of total electricity per year.

The recent decision by the European Union to include nuclear power in the Taxonomy showed that nuclear power will be the driving force for decarbonisation.

Romanian energy trader and developer Enero Furnizare plans to develop solar projects with a total capacity of 1GWp in Romania this year

The $11-billion pipeline, which has faced stiff opposition from the United States and some European states, was built last September across the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, but has been idle pending German and EU regulatory clearance.

The main negative effect for consumers is that energy systems become less predictable and less stable as the share of RES in their structure grows bigger. Generation of power from RES depends on weather and lacks stability. For instance, this factor had a significant influence on the European energy market in 2021.

The Swedish Energy Agency has now awarded the partners SEK99 million to put towards building an electrically powered non-nuclear prototype SEALER at Oskarshamn for testing and verifying materials and technology in an environment of molten lead at high temperatures.

Austrian oil company OMV is one of Russian gas giant Gazprom's partners in the pipeline project connecting Russia to Germany, which has been completed but is not yet operational as it is awaiting German and EU regulatory approval.

The proposed transaction would bring together GE's nuclear steam turbine technology and services expertise, with EDF strengthening its commitment to the nuclear power sector,
