RusHydro Group (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”, ticker symbol: MOEX, LSE: HYDR; OTCQX: RSHYY) announces its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

That brings the total shortfall to nearly $2.5 billion, according to a market notice.

"The entire energy sector failed Texas," said NRG Energy Inc Chief Executive Mauricio Gutierrez, who testified.

Those essentials include power for natural gas wells, processing plants and compressor facilities, but Texas Energy Reliability Council Chairman James Cisarik said keeping natural gas flowing to power plants requires operational water, communication and transportation infrastructure.

France’s installed renewable capacity, including hydropower, increased by more than 2 GW in 2020

Severe cold weather in parts of the USA last week contributed to power outages affecting millions of electricity customers across Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.

The power supply collapse in Texas was caused by extreme and aberrant cold weather, freezing the electric generators. The system wasn’t designed to withstand what occurred -- and what may occur elsewhere in a time of new and terrifying instability in the world’s weather systems.

EDF has maintained its 2021 French nuclear output target in a range of 330 TWh-360 TWh after 2020 output fell to a record low of 335.4 TWh, the French utility said Feb. 18.

Decarbonising the power sector will not be sufficient to achieving net-zero emissions. We also need to decarbonise the non-power sectors - transport, buildings and industry - which represent 60% of emissions from the energy sector today.

One of the key mitigation measures is development of adequate energy storage capacity in India.

This dramatic growth in renewable energy capacity reinforces the fact that India is witnessing an unprecedented energy transition to low-carbon development,

Budget 2021-22 is a mixed bag in terms of support for India’s transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy.

Based on assessments of energy venture capital deal flow, market analyses, and conversations with industry insiders, below are four indisputable utility sector trends -- regardless of whether the 2020 craziness repeats itself -- and the emerging, venture-backed technologies on the market to support the energy transition in 2021.

Combined, they accounted for or 22,451 megawatts (MW) or more than three-quarters (78.09%) of the 28,751 MW of new utility-scale capacity reported to have been added last year. Wind (13,626 MW) and solar (8,543 MW) each contributed more new generating capacity than did natural gas (6,259 MW).

China grid companies will steadily increase the amount of power purchased from clean generation sources from 28.2% in 2020 to 40% by 2030,
