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.

“Отношения между Россией и Ираном планомерно развиваются, следуя курсу руководства наших стран. Наши лидеры находятся в постоянном контакте. Благодаря выстроенному конструктивному диалогу мы достигли существенного расширения взаимовыгодного российско-иранского взаимодействия в различных областях торгово-экономического сотрудничества, включая энергетику”,

Особое внимание было уделено сотрудничеству в сфере энергетики, в том числе проекту нефтепродуктопровода «Пуэнт-Нуар – Лутете – Малуко-Трешо», работе российских нефтегазовых компаний АО «Зарубежнефть» и ПАО «ЛУКОЙЛ», перспективам взаимодействия в области электроэнергетики, а также сотрудничеству в области атомной энергетики.

Technology continues to grow in its importance in all industries, including the utility sector. Utilities face special challenges as they try to meet increasing demands from customers, regulators, and a market that’s becoming increasingly diverse.

As with many industries, the expectations for distribution power companies are that they either hold their operating costs flat year over year, or that they reduce their O&M expenditures each year.

While toilets and indoor plumbing are taken for granted in developed countries, in the developing world — India, parts of Africa or Southeast Asia — it’s not a given.

India's power demand fell 4.3% in November from a year ago, representing the fourth straight month of decline, government data showed, potentially reflecting a worsening industrial slowdown which has stifled overall economic growth.

The government sources said the carbon price would now increase annually, hitting 55 euros in 2025.

The use of nuclear power will need to increase to decarbonise electricity production, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said today at a side event during the United Nations COP25 climate summit in Madrid. Meeting sustainability and climate goals requires a significant use of nuclear energy, he said.

“We also see that the human capital, at 46 percent, comprises the largest share of wealth in Russia, with the natural capital share, standing at 20 percent. As a rough approximation, we estimate that Russia's forests provide annual absorption of about 640 million tons of CO2 equivalent.”

“Well-designed carbon pricing instruments can be a transformative part of the climate action toolkit. Over half of countries worldwide are thinking about how carbon pricing can help them meet their climate targets”, said Laura Tuck, Vice President of Sustainable Development, World Bank.

The largest-ever group of investors has called on governments to phase out thermal coal power worldwide, put a price on carbon, end subsidies for fossil fuels, and strengthen nationally-determined contributions. The 631 institutional investors managing more than USD37 trillion in assets urged governments to step up efforts to tackle the global climate crisis and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, in a joint statement issued yesterday at the United Nations COP25 climate summit.

Under this option, EU importers of steel, aluminum and other products with high carbon footprints would have to buy carbon allowances, as EU producers do under the EU Emissions Trading System.
