COP29: climate finance increase from 100 to 300 billion USD/y until 2035. Success? Not really. Also the discussion point is wrong > poor begging the rich for 💰. Instead why not foster domestic innovation and rule of law to get the projects going? #cop29 reuters.com/sustainability…

Why I’m optimistic about the energy transition: Humans tend to underestimate the pace of innovation and overestimate the inertia of incumbent technologies. Clean energy technologies have scaled much more rapidly than predicted by modellers

I just published my first PhD paper with @LenaKitzing. We interview bankers and project developers to learn about the effects of auctions on #windenergy financing. Download link 👉bit.ly/3rmH28c 🚀 #renewableenergy Thanks to @WindEurope for support with our workshops!

A historic agreement? These pan-European projects were planned in the first version of the rescue package but had to be scrapped because of “frugal” demands ❌European research: -60% ❌Climate change: -70% ❌Employment: -80% ❌Health: -100% Frugality is the new stupidity

The new EU budget should be fair and distributive if the EU is to hold together. If you accept Southern countries into the club then you must also live with their weaker economies. But to make a compromise the south should control spending. #EUbudget #COVID19

How can utilities turn around? Fascinating story from @Orsted Offshore CEO Martin Neubert w @McKinsey. Some key factors: in-house expertise, acquire critical supply chain components, standardize, develop critical mass, overcome internal skepticism. mckinsey.com/business-funct…

Will utilities with fossil fuel exposure be able to service their debt if we take climate change seriously? Probably not. Stark implications for current lending and investment decisions... #StrandedAssets

Der aktuelle Strommarkt in Corona-Zeiten: Wir erleben gerade, was 2030 normaler Standard sein wird - oder anders formuliert: "a postcard from the future" (quote @MLiebreich). Quintessenz: Technisch kein Problem.

Am at #offshorewind ⁦@WindEurope⁩ in Copenhagen. IEA predicts offshore will become the lead renewable energy globally due to stark price reduction > cca 100 USD per MWh at 4% cost of capital in 2018.

I am at this investor dialogue and it is great to see how the Danish Energy Agency engages investors in providing early comments and feedback on the Thor #offshore #wind tender. Such processes de-risk investments and enable lowest #financing costs! ⁦@auctions4RES⁩

Glad to share our two new very thorough reports on #auctions for the support of #RenewableEnergy in the UK, and on theoretic aspects of cross-border auctions. Available at aures2project.eu/reports/

I had a great time at @oie_hr “Dani dobrog vjetra” (Days of Good #windenergy) where I presented on #auctions for #renewables and their effect on #financing. First Croatian round to be announced until end 2019. Wind market booming. Thanks @WindEurope for co-hosting the event.

@mtaylor_nz Can you please share the source?

Although I keep an eye on German and UK wholesale markets, it hadn't quite twigged in my mind that #Germany had the lowest electricity spot prices last year. Amazing how you can miss the simple things when you are deep in the hourly data... forest, trees, etc...

I just gave a presentation on @auctions4RES (AURES II project) report on effects of #auctions on #financig conditions for #renewables. Thanks @IRENA for the invite to the workshop in Sarajevo on #energy in #southeasteurope
