#DYK that #CopernicusMarine products can be used for ocean energy research or project development❓ Last year, @OceanenergyEU & @MercatorOcean co-hosted a webinar demonstrating the practical applications & benefits of our services in #OceanEnergy activities 🌊 Watch the replay here 👇 oceanenergy-europe.eu/event/copernic…

Our second speaker for the webinar "Boosting Hydropower II: best practices for research" is Clément Van Straaten, who will be presenting the Renewat Project 🌍🔋. Register here: register.gotowebinar.com/register/64968… #ETIPHYDROPOWER #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #Store2Hydro

Ce week-end, l’ouest des #Pyrénées a été touché par d’importantes inondations, notamment dans les vallées d’#Aspe et des #Nestes. Dès vendredi et durant tout le week-end, une trentaine de salariés EDF Hydro s'est mobilisée pour assurer le passage des crues et la mise en sécurité des installations, conformément aux procédures. Comme pour de nombreux habitants des vallées, l’heure est aujourd’hui au déblayage. Si nos ouvrages ont résisté, les équipes travaillent maintenant pour nettoyer rapidement les installations de la boue et embâcles charriés par les crues. Un grand bravo à nos équipes sur le terrain pour leur mobilisation, leur professionnalisme et leur solidarité avec les habitants. #DLDDéc

Let’s meet our speakers who will join us on 18 September 2024, from 13:30 to 15:00 CET at the "Boosting Hydropower II: best practices for research" webinar! 🌊 🖥️ Register now to secure your place: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/64968… #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

📢#CEFEnergy news: 3⃣ new cross-border #RenewableEnergy projects have obtained the status to join the CB #RES list! They cover #hydrogen #offshorewind & #hydropower and contribute to filling a gap of renewable #electricity production in their regions 👉europa.eu/!MNn7hh

Hydro needs a strong strategy! ✅Stable regulations & key market design principles ✅Simplified authorisations & improved financing ✅Preserved EU value chain & promoted global knowledge sharing ✅Recognised central role in resource management & climate adaptation #EHA #Hydro4EU

BRUSSELS HYDROPOWER DAY has started! Stay tuned to know more about the power of #hydropower in the #EnergyTransition #HPD #HPD24

The power of water 💧 💦 🌊 is in focus today, on #WorldWaterDay. Renè Ostermann works as an electrician at a #hydropower plant in Austria🇦🇹, providing 900 households with #cleanenergy. Long (and other linguistic) versions 📹 europa.eu/!8XpFmN

The production of European electricity must be carbon-neutral, reliable, and affordable. All technologies to decarbonate production are crucial: #wind, #solar but also #nuclear and #hydropower must be included in #NZIA Net Zero Industrial Act. @MarionLabatut @Equili_Energies

The phase-out of fossil fuels is the key to achieving European decarbonization ambitions. Massive electrification is the most effective solution. @MarionLabatut

Looking forward to @Standards4EU event next week: The Road to Net Zero: Standards for the All-Electric Society Including speaker from @OneNetProject Professor Antonello Monti, Aachen University web.cvent.com/event/eb595e12… #standards4aes #AllElectricEU

💧⚡ Hydropower is a key player for the success of the energy transition in Europe. This was discussed at today's conference of the EU #Hydropower #Alliance in cooperation with the @EU_Commission in Brussels. #hydro4eu

'@EU_Commission announced #WaterResilience as one of 2024 major priorities. We need a systemic transformation of the way water is managed, used and valued - and @EU_EESC is an important strategic partner for this agenda.' @VSinkevicius #EUBlueDeal ▶ europa.eu/!9FMcdP

#Hydropower is a crucial source of renewable electricity in the EU. Thanks to flexibility & large storage capacity, hydropower plants are key technologies complementing variable #renewables. Happy to have my say at an event by the EU Hydropower Alliance. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

🔋 Investing in & maintaining our existing #PumpedHydroStorage capacity is crucial. And there's exciting potential in new installations too, with 28.6 GW of PHS projects in the pipeline for 2022-2027 (IRENA). Let's harness the power of #PHS today for a sustainable tomorrow!

Europe's energy transition is within reach, but not without #hydropower. We need an appropriate, reliable and sustainable economic, political and legal framework that values the assets of hydropower & encourages investment in it in the same way as other renewable resources.

We at the Commission @Energy4Europe see the need for more #hydropower alongside #solar and #wind says @MWorsdorfer #Hydro4EU in a discussion with Emmanuelle Verger @EDF_Hydro @EDFofficiel and Eddie Rich @IHA at the EU hydropower Alliance event today

“Energy Commissioner @KadriSimson has been a guiding force in putting #electrification at the heart of the Green Deal over the course of this past mandate, making it an easy choice to present her with this electrification award" - said @kristianruby ⚡️
