Australia added 6.3 GW of new renewable capacity in 2019, against 4.8 GW in 2018

Renewables only accounted for 18.2% of total energy generated by November 2019, while coal alone produced 23.4% of the country’s electricity.

global electric power generation from renewable sources will increase more than 20% throughout the projection period (2018–2050), providing almost half of the world’s electricity generation in 2050. In that same period, global coal-fired generation will decrease 13%, representing only 22% of the generation mix in 2050.

В ходе встречи стороны обсудили широкий спектр вопросов взаимодействия России с Израилем, в том числе в энергетике. Было отмечено, что по итогам 2019 года товарооборот между странами превысил 5 млрд долларов, из которых половина пришлась на энергетический сектор.

Brent crude oil spot prices will average $65 per barrel (b) in 2020 and $68/b in 2021, compared with an average of $64/b in 2019. EIA expects West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices will average about $5.50/b lower than Brent prices through 2020 and 2021, compared with an average WTI discount of about $7.35/b in 2019.

Based on current policies, India’s energy demand could double by 2040, with electricity demand potentially tripling as a result of increased appliance ownership and cooling needs.

Enter the Distribution Fault Anticipation, or DFA for short. Developed by a team of researchers at Texas A&M, the DFA is a suite of technology designed to monitor grid systems and identify potential problems before they happen. More specifically, it’s a distributed computing system that works autonomously to give operators a non-stop picture of the condition of each circuit.

Germany's economy is aiming for renewables to provide 65% of its power mix by 2030.

Министр рассказал, что в 2019 году были достигнуты исторические цифры по добыче нефти, газа, по выработке электроэнергии, установлены очередные национальные рекорды. Ожидается, что добыча нефти по итогам года составит порядка 560 млн тонн, газа – 737 млрд кубических метров, угля – 437 млн тонн, выработка электроэнергии прогнозируется на уровне 1,102 трлн кВт.ч.

If your business case depends on the cost of energy or the cost of storage remaining where they are, ask yourself, what if the cost goes down 50%? That’s only 3 years of decline at 20%/year.

The decentralization of our electricity grid is inevitable. Distributed energy resources (DERs) are becoming increasingly attractive for consumers as prices continue to drop and political and environmental pressures continue to mount.

Electricity generation from coal will rise only marginally over that period, at less than 1% per year – and its share will decline from 38% in 2018 to 35% in 2024. This means coal remains by far the single largest source of power supply worldwide.
