EU gas demand is set to drop 7% by 2030, and could fall even further as the EU seeks to phase out Russian fossil fuels. Expanding gas capacity risks creating a big oversupply, leaving behind costly stranded assets. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

NEW: Cheaper batteries mean near-24/365 solar is now economic☀️ We analysed 18 years of hourly insolation data at 12 places, to see how close to 24/365 electricity it was possible to get. The sunniest places get over 90% - and up to 99% - of the way... from just $100/MWh. 🧵

The AI race is driving a surge in demand for new data centres 📈 But despite high growth expectations, forecasts show the EU falling short of its goal to more than triple data centre capacity by 2030–and grid constraints risk delaying further deployment. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

🚨NEW | This summer solstice, Ember finds that 24-hour solar power, nearly all year-round, is now economically viable for sunny places Falling battery costs can enable affordable & reliable solar+storage options for some of the world’s sunniest cities☀️ ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

☀️+🔋= affordable solar electricity, almost every hour of the year For the sunniest cities in the world, getting over 90% of the way to constant 24/365 solar generation is viable, thanks to solar+storage solutions⚡ ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

From bigger watts to shorter waits, the AI race now depends on faster grid connections 🔌 As the EU is now third globally in data centre capacity—according to the International Energy Agency Energy & AI Observatory—grid development must keep up to attract AI investments 💹 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

🥁104 $/MWh - that’s how low it costs to achieve solar electricity, 97% of hours annually in the world’s sunniest regions (based on global average cost) This is already cheaper than nuclear and than new coal in many regions⚡ ember-energy.org/latest-insight…
