The recent Russian SolarWinds hack has been identified as one the most significant cyberattacks against the US.

China added nearly 72 GW of wind power capacity and 48 GW of solar capacity in 2020.

China electricity consumption rose by 3.1% in 2020

In addition to clean electricity, nuclear energy is the only low-carbon energy source that can also produce low-carbon heat.

The European Commission is planning to issue new proposals for gas legislation in the last quarter of 2021. EU gas markets are on the cusp of dramatic changes.

Assuming human behavior holds steady, a big transition to electricity will send demand skyrocketing. Making matters worse, this will all be happening as we transition away from easily scaled fossil fuel sources to more finicky renewables.

The modern grid, also known as the smart grid, is interconnected and automated, with many technologies involved, including artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Electricity consumption in the Unified Energy System (UES) of Russia decreased by 2.4% in 2020.

Brent crude oil spot prices to average $53 per barrel (b) in both 2021 and 2022 compared with an average of $42/b in 2020.

Renewable power generation in Britain accounted for 37.3% of total production in 2020 (24.8% from wind, 6.5% from biomass, 4.4% from solar, and 1.6% from hydro).

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest inventory of electricity generators, developers and power plant owners plan for 39.7 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity generating capacity to start commercial operation in 2021.

Home to a growing population and rising energy demand, the UAE is leveraging its abundant renewable resources and global technology partners to dramatically reduce its carbon footprint. Chief among its collaborators is the UK, which has a long history of greentech expertise and implementation.

Combined, they accounted for almost 71% (14,734 MW) of the 20,803 MW of new utility-scale capacity reported to have been added thus far in 2020. Year-to-date, wind (8,042 MW) and solar (6,485 MW) have each contributed more new generating capacity than has natural gas (6,039 MW).

There are three primary keys to achieving climate goals: decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation.

There are several new undersea power cable interconnector projects about to become operational across Europe. These high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) projects will enable significant transfers of renewable energy.
