Exceptional venue for International Energy Workshop #IEW2025 in Japan! Happy to be here with @unigeenergy.bsky.social team of Xin Wen, Nik Zielonka and Hui Shen

📣Today @sweet-edge.bsky.social is also releasing its second #Renewable #Energy Outlook for Switzerland. Check out a brief video on it here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=PuqX... Comments are welcome!

🤩🤩🤩Overly excited to be heading to the second Swiss conference on #decentralized #renewable #energy as part of @sweet-edge.bsky.social. Looking forward to all the discussions on how to increase the share of renewables in Switzerland and what are the implications for cross-border electricity trade

Bringing together proponents of rival theories to test their ideas against each other can advance science — but only if all sides can accept that they might be wrong. https://go.nature.com/437SQ2t

Compared to the single price zone, splitting Germany in five zones will lead electricity wholesale prices to -increase in the South by <3% and in the West by <1% -decrease in the North by > 10-16% As network cost will also drop, impact on electricity cost in the South/West should be rather marginal.

The AR7 outlines are public following country-level inputs at IPCC-62 in China. www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/.... Looking at the WGI outline, it's pretty consistent with what what came out of the scoping meeting. All chapters present, with the same focus areas. Short thread:

Europe becomes pro-nuclear? Not quite. ~50% supports it, except in PL 70% and ES, IT 40%. A survey of 4,800 shows "a marked increase in support for #nuclear" compared to before the 2022 energy crisis. Higher support among men and right-wing. See the paper in Energy Policy doi.org/10.1016/j.en...
