Nuclear power and renewables can, if planned properly, be exemplary partners as we strive towards building a clean energy world following the pandemic, while ensuring that we do so without leaving a large percentage of world's population behind.

Canada will need to triple its power production levels over the next 30 years to enable the electrification of economic sectors, and this will require the simultaneous development of all available zero-carbon generation technologies simultaneously including large and small nuclear reactors as well as renewables and hydro

Vietnam will need about US$320bn to develop its power sector in 2021-2045,

The South Australia government has given planning approval for the massive $3 billion Goyder South wind, solar and battery storage project

By 2024, the renewable capacity is expected to more than double from 1.8 GW to 4.3 GW (+139%).

Brent crude oil prices in the forecast average $58/b in the second half of 2021. Brent prices will average $59/b in 2022.

Fukushima has certainly left its mark on the nuclear industry. When the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, 2011, there were 54 nuclear reactors in Japan.

This 2.1 GW programme is part of South Korea's strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050.

As Texas plunged into darkness last month, its power markets turned to chaos. The financial repercussions of that chaos are becoming apparent now.

The polar vortex which incapacitated much of the electric grid in Texas is gone, but the financial vortex is happening now in the state and will be around for years, if not decades.

After this record year for wind turbine capacity additions, total wind turbine capacity in the United States is now 118 GW.

State Grid expects wind and solar installed capacity to hit 1,000 GW by 2030

Europe is seen to install 105 GW of new wind over the next five years, adding to the 220 GW it has now.

The share of renewables in the total daily power production stayed above 50% throughout the month and twice reached 68.4%,

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