Fortune published my piece on the @e3g.bsky.social report showing 97% of execs support a transition to renewables. This maps onto the fact that we underestimate how much appetite there is for climate action globally, with 89% of people favouring stronger climate action. @coveringclimatenow.org

Broad, societal support for better insulation standards in the private rented sector. It's an important issue, and not easy to get it right. But the status quo of unaffordable bills& mouldy homes is unacceptable. Read here what a policy package could look like: www.e3g.org/publications...

European Union's #CBAM is routinely justified citing "carbon leakage". I have been skeptical about the extent of leakage because the real world is more complex than theory allows on paper.

Renewables helped Spain cut electricity prices by around 20% since 2021. The EU avoided €59B in fossil fuel costs since 2019. Clean energy is the best shield against volatile energy prices. Read more: www.e3g.org/news/clean-e...

Clean #energy has already made the #EU more secure, and more can and must be done. Within 2 years, the EU eliminated 20bcm of annual gas use via renewables and heat pumps alone. Meanwhile, additional US #LNG imports since 2022 are 30bcm, coming at a hefty annual bill. ▶️ www.e3g.org/news/clean-e...

Just saying this again because it's important: fossil gas was responsible for the biggest chunk of the rise in emissions in the energy sector from 2023 to 2024 Gas is a fossil fuel and a pollutant: dumping it and burning it causes suffering and death to living things [note the truncated y axis]
gas responsible for most of the rise in energy emissions

An eye-opening stat from the recent @bruegel.bsky.social report on European grids. The value of the French DSO's assets are over three times those of the French TSO 🤯 Great work by @cheussaff.bsky.social. www.bruegel.org/policy-brief...
A screenshot from the report reading:

"The transmission grids of most neighbouring European countries are interconnected. There are 30 transmission system operators (TSOs) 4  in the EU and several thousand distribution system operators (DSOs). Electricity-distribution grids account for most electricity-grid infrastructure and this is reflected in asset values. For example, the grid operated by the largest French DSO, ENEDIS, is worth €54 billion, while the asset base of French TSO RTE is €17 billion (S&P Global Ratings, 2024). The returns earned by TSOs and DSOs and their investment incentives are determined by national regulators, with each EU country taking a distinct regulatory approach. "

There are no subsidies for residential solar in England. But solar is back due to lower costs + improved business case. It is at the highest level since the government ended its subsidy scheme & almost back at record levels seen in 2011.

Most importantly: where is the government analysis that this is the best way of providing that type of capacity? what #flexibility need are they serving and is this the only way to serve it? For short/medium term flexibility batteries, interconnection & smart systems provide alternatives.

Low cost #gas no longer a significant pull for industrial location decisions in #chemical and #steel industries in the future - whereas access to #renewables is what counts. Interesting survey by @laimaeicke.bsky.social. www.rifs-potsdam.de/en/blog/2023... - hopefully full data set to come?
Managers ranking of factors influencing investments in their sector by 2050 - low cost renewables, supportive policies and subsidies, trade barriers are the top 3
