In today’s study, we take a look into the pockets of European citizens and find 176 BEUR of potential renewable financing. Enough to cut in half the investment gap of reaching 32% European renewable energy by 2030.

PhD researcher Cristian Pons-Seres de Brauwer from DTU Wind presents his and his colleagues' study Analysing the potential of citizen-financed community renewable energy to drive Europe's low-carbon energy transition.

Cris' study is part of the MISTRAL Project.

In the Peer Review section, Cris recommends the Volts blog by David Roberts.

Links to the topics discussed:  

• Numbers on electric storage (batteries) 8 GWh (IEA) - 12 GWh (Greentech Media). Danish pit thermal storages: 44 GWh heat (see White Paper).

• Radiolab

Which transmission architecture is the most beneficial to integrate large shares of renewable energy in the North Sea region? And what are the consequences of the planning horizon when planning such a system towards 2050? 

PhD researcher Juan Gea-Bermudez from DTU Management elaborates these questions in the study Optimal generation and transmission development of the North Sea region: impact of grid architecture and planning horizon. Co-authored with Lise-Lotte Pade, Matti Juhani Koivisto and Hans V. Ravn.

We discuss the projects Promotion, Flex4RES and NSON.
