Lead Market Analysis NL at TenneT TSO | ir. | Energy nerd | Gedreven | Nieuwsgierig | Behulpzaam | My opinions are my own

Two-thirds of global energy is wasted, mostly as combustion heat. Electrification gets rid of most of that waste rather than replacing it. From my keynote at the Eurelectric PowerSummit.

We have something new for you! Today we launched the Bruegel ETS Tracker. Based on the great work by Jan Abrell you can now easily access: - emissions by sector, location, installation, time - allocation - auction revenues - carbon prices ets.bruegel.org [feedback more than welcome]

De woningnood is nog steeds niet opgelost, het klimaatprobleem is groter dan ooit. Er zijn 100.000 wachtplekken bij de GGZ. De vermogenskloof is gigantisch. Veel kinderen kunnen niet, of alleen met honger, naar school. Maar gelukkig gaan we dankzij de VVD extra streng kijken naar onnodig toeteren!

Gisteren kwam TenneT met haar jaarlijkse monitor voorzieningszekerheid. Een fraaie analyse met een heldere boodschap: de NL stroomvoorziening loopt nog meer risico dan eerder gedacht. Interessant daarbij zijn de aannamen, ook de verschillen met de vorige editie. Een draadje. (1/n)

JUST DROPPED: Europe thought it won the energy war. Build LNG terminals, swap Russian pipelines for LNG, job done. Then Hormuz closed & prices doubled. We didn't end our dependency. We just changed who we are dependent on. But bright spots on horizon. open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

From Russian pipelines to American tankers - how Europe swapped one dependency for another

What the Hormuz closure revealed about Europe's energy security

France has ended up in a strange position after using some €250bn of tax-payer money to build a fleet of nuclear power stations. Wind and solar power is merrily entering the French power market at prices nuclear production can't match, resulting in huge surpluses of power. 1/

Électricité : un rapport confidentiel d’EDF anticipe une explosion des coûts et des risques

« Le Point » s’est procuré le rapport interne d’EDF sur les conséquences de la modulation de son parc nucléaire pour faire place aux renouvelables. Un document explosif, alors que le gouvernement s’ap...

Er is bij mij ingebroken en de inbreker zit in de woonkamer. Een buurman zes huizen verderop overlegt nu met de inbreker over in welk deel van mijn woonkamer hij voortaan mag wonen.

The capture rate of solar in Spain ⬇️⬇️ Where there is now nearly 35GW of solar live. A strong signal for required flexibility, from storage or elsewhere and a leading signal for across Europe.

South Park just had ICE raiding heaven. KRISTI NOEM: “Remember, only detain the brown ones. If it’s brown, it goes down!” The most effective mass media analysis of Trump is now coming from South Park. Shows what you can do if you don’t care about WH access or your billionaire owner. (🎥Paramount)

We were told nuclear's cost problem resulted from not building enough reactors to the same design. Sizewell C - if it goes ahead - would be the 7th and 8th of EDF's EPR design. Any ecomodernists out there want to hazard a guess as to what N is needed to deliver Nth-of-a-kind cost savings?

Jim Pickard@pickardje.bsky.social · last yr.

when the FT revealed in January that the cost of building the Sizewell C nuclear plant had risen to around £40bn they all denied it now we can reveal the actual price tag - to be announced this week - and it is £38bn www.ft.com/content/d431...

DON’T LOOK AWAY: Children seen shackled and escorted by federal agents out of a downtown Los Angeles detention center. Multiple minors. In chains. In public. This is not a “border issue”—this is a fucking human rights crisis.
