Circuit boards are the lifeblood of most electronics, but they are particularly empowering to renewable energy infrastructure as it undergoes buildout. They convert and transmit power, and years of innovation have transformed them into the most efficient versions of this crucial component. Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to be a welcome disruption, making it smarter and … Continue reading Blog by Jane Marsh – How AI-enabled circuit boards are revolutionizing renewable energy systems in Europe

Blog by Rose Morrison – The Digital Twin revolution: How virtual modelling Is optimising real-world energy systems
Image via Unsplash Digital twin use cases are rapidly expanding as the urgency of the zero-carbon transition intensifies. The energy sector is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this shift. Nations worldwide — especially across Europe — are under pressure to meet ambitious climate goals, cut emissions and adapt to a renewable-heavy grid. At the … Continue reading Blog by Rose Morrison – The Digital Twin revolution: How virtual modelling Is optimising real-world energy systems
Energy in Demand News, September 7-8, 2025
As we are decarbonising our economies, electrification become more and more important. A Financial Times newsletter this week, however, notes that EU member states are set to miss a deadline for linking their electricity grids more closely. “By the end of this year, EU member states should have increased cross-border transmission capacity — the maximum … Continue reading Energy in Demand News, September 7-8, 2025
Energy in Demand News, August 31, 2025
The expression Energy Efficiency 1st is not just a PR slogan. This week, 67 Industry players and 26 national and EU industry associations wrote to the EU’s Danish Presidency, concerned about the draft compromise text on the EU Climate Law from 31st July, which removes explicit references to the Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) principle. The … Continue reading Energy in Demand News, August 31, 2025
Thanks to a change in regulations in UK, residents in social housing in London can now access the clean, affordable energy coming from their own roofs
Frampton Park Estate, a series five-story apartment buildings in east London that have rooftop solar, gained microgrid capabilities after Emergent Energy succeeded in lobbying for regulatory change in 2023. Before the change, most of the 1 MW of solar energy was sold back to the grid, so tenants gained no direct benefit, says the article … Continue reading Thanks to a change in regulations in UK, residents in social housing in London can now access the clean, affordable energy coming from their own roofs
Where batteries reach their limits, green molecules can step in
We often talk about batteries for grid flexibility but there is less discussion of green molecules for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Thomas Brostrøm, Chief Investment and Development Officer, ACWA Power and Sandeep Kashyap, Chief Executive Officer, Renewables, RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group write on the World Economic Forum website about their role in our energy transition. Why … Continue reading Where batteries reach their limits, green molecules can step in

The New York Times this week reported on how cultural festivals in France are adapting to the summer heat. The theatre festival in Avignon has banned events from 2 pm to 5 pm. And in order to lower the carbon footprint, the Avignon festival will only accept foreign acts if they also have other engagements … Continue reading Energy in Demand News, July 20-21, 2025
Blog by Ellie Gabel: How infrastructure degradation impacts energy efficiency
Energy professionals, urban planners and policymakers are collaborating to fight persistent issues with outdated infrastructure. The U.S. demands modernization, primarily as power demands spike and efficiency drops. Systems will only continue to age and erode. What are the most prominent concerns jeopardizing electricity transmission, and what can you do to compensate for degrading equipment? Deterioration … Continue reading Blog by Ellie Gabel: How infrastructure degradation impacts energy efficiency
Blog by Jane Marsh – Smart Grids and Digitalization: The Future of Energy Management in Europe’s Power Systems
Europe’s race toward climate neutrality by 2050 transforms how power systems operate, with smart grids and digitalization taking center stage. As part of the European Green Deal, grid modernization is beyond updating old infrastructure. It reimagines the energy system to handle a massive influx of renewables while maintaining stability and security. Traditional grids weren’t built … Continue reading Blog by Jane Marsh – Smart Grids and Digitalization: The Future of Energy Management in Europe’s Power Systems
