Nu træder akutplan om elnet i kraft med uholdbar regel om elkedler
I dag den 19. oktober træder elnettets akutplan med bekendtgørelser i kraft. For fjernvarmen betyder det, at man som udgangspunkt prioriteres i kategori 2 ved ansøgning om tilslutning til elnettet, men der spændes ben for elkedler til at levere fjernvarme og fleksibilitet til elsystemet. Det er uholdbart, mener Dansk Fjernvarme.

Jokeren er kriteriet om netvenlighed, hvordan det bliver fortolket og kommer til at fungere i praksis. Ideelt set vil det tillade begge produkter at blive tilkoblet hurtigere når de letter det overordnede pres på elnettet.

Der er potentielt nogle uhensigtsmæssigheder ved den nye akutplan for elnettet, herunder at batterier og åbenbart også nogle elkedler placeres i kategori 3 og derfor kan få lang ventetid til at blive koblet på elnettet.

Som du skriver, er den fransk-tyske aftale kun et forslag, og skal stadig vedtages i EU systemet. Man kan da håbe, at de to store lande ikke bare får lov til at diktere forringelser af EUs grønne politik. bsky.app/profile/giul...

1. Med afsæt i den nylige fyring på RUC reflekteres der om forholdet mellem viden og magt i det moderne DK. Universiteterne er blevet indrettet til at gennemføre en kurs fastlagt oppefra. Værnet om dem, der kunne anfægte kursen, er blevet nedbrudt. Et demokrati har brug for uafhængige Gavelink

Tidligere dekan:Problemet er ikke RUC. Det er hele universit
Tre årtiers universitetsreformer har samlet magten hos ledelserne og svækket forskernes beskyttelse. Resultatet er øget risiko for selvcensur og et demokrati med færre kritiske modstemmer.

Indeed, so in general, trade between countries is a good thing. I don't have the complete overview of all the different power producers and their price bids. I just think, intuitively, it seems a bit odd that the prices are so much higher than when wind is setting the price.

We need more wind 😃 I guess it's because we can sell the wind power to our neighbours at a better price, which will then lower their electricity prices. But it does seem a bit odd.

Agree. Electricity is also already quite clean and increasingly so. Governments are typically not too interested in increasing prices either, though I think in principle it should always be an option. But I think directly taxing CO2 or indirectly flying or meat is better if you want to raise a tax.

It's important to recognise is that this *isn't* about the US getting "back" to business with Russia, because there's never been much US-Russia business of any kind beyond arms control. What the Trump admin is pushing for is an unprecedented alignment of the US with Russia.

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.

I don't see anything erratic here. For over a decade, Trump has prioritised "getting along with Russia"; since 20 January 2025, Trump administration policy has reflected that priority. It's perhaps the most consistent aspect of Trump foreign policy. 🧵on Trump and sanctions.

Trump’s announcement to buy diesel from Russia is a big deal. It’s a major shift from US policy to limit Russias revenues from oil products. This brings us a bit closer to a future where the EU increasingly implements the most important sanctions without the US. Here is what I would keep and eye on👇
