The EU’s Plan to Scale Up Renewables by 2030 Implications for the Power System

April 12, 2022

The EU’s Plan to Scale
Scaling up renewable energy (REN) is
paramount for climate protection and
energy security, but it is also a major
industrial challenge for the European
Union (EU). The REPowerEU plan requires
multiplying the installed capacity for solar
photovoltaic (PV) power by a factor of 3
and raising wind capacity by a factor of
2.5 in less than 8 years from now.

Energy System Efficiency: How to maximise the contribution of consumers to cost-effectively accelerate the clean energy transition

whitePaper | October 21, 2022

smartEn has engaged in an internal exercise to provide answers to these questions. We are convinced that a more efficient energy system is possible, with active consumers at its heart. Consumers must be enabled to contribute to an acceleration towards an efficient, secure and fully decarbonised energy system, instead of being the passive victims of a centralised and fossil-dependent energy system. This is possible if consumers of all types - from households to industrial players.

Cumulative Effects Analysis for Wind Energy Development: Current Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities

whitePaper | April 12, 2022

The increasing global deployment of wind energy has given rise to concerns about potential adverse effects on certain wildlife species and habitats. The United States and European nations use environmental impact assessments (EIAs) to evaluate the environmental effects of wind energy and inform wind energy planning, siting, and operational processes. A key component of the EIA is the cumulative effects analysis/assessment (CEA). CEAs consider the effects of a proposed development in the context of past, present, and future developments, as well as other (non-wind) activities.
