A new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) outlines the need for Red Eléctrica de España (REE) to address increasing pressures linked to the integration of renewable energy into Spain’s power grid. Spain aims to produce 81% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, placing the transmission system operator at the centre of the national energy transition with implications for neighbouring countries and the wider European market.

The report Efficient integration of mixed connection concepts for offshore wind and hydrogen production, written by Frontier Economics for Aqua Ventus, assesses how combining offshore wind connections with hydrogen production and pipeline transport could help lower the cost of integrating future wind capacity in the German North Sea. Germany’s statutory 70 GW offshore wind target for 2045 is analysed, alongside a more conservative 55 GW scenario.

An increasing number of wind turbines are approaching the end of their operational lifetime. Europe has 290 GW of wind capacity, and around 80 GW will reach the end of their theoretical operating life by 2030, although many turbines will continue to run. Some will be taken out of service, raising the question of how to manage blade materials. WindEurope’s new circularity hub presents current approaches to reuse, repurpose, recycle and recover blades once they are decommissioned.
