Energy abundance suggereert dat overvloed van duurzame energie vanzelf tot verduurzaming leidt. Maar dit is al zo vaak weerlegd. Zonder actieve vraagstimulering ontstaat geen structureel gebruik. Overvloed zonder consumptie is verspilling. Mijn stuk in De Standaard: www.standaard.be/opinies/over...

It's fun these days to be able to turn a feeling or thought that passes the mind into a quick comic.

After again seeing some people freak out about primary energy figures, I felt it was time to write this post. The energy transition is, in some ways, easier than it looks. www.linkedin.com/pulse/primar...

Zonnepanelen, windmolens, EV's, warmtepompen, new nuclear, upgrades aan elektriciteitsnetten en de bouw van compleet nieuwe netten om waterstof en CO2 te transporteren. De rode draad is: een verschuiving in de balans tussen CAPEX en OPEX in ons energiesysteem. Een draadje 🧵

With current regulatory conditions - dynamic tariff, intraday optimisation, optional time-varying network tariff starting April - German EV drivers can already reduce charging cost by -68%. Making taxes time-varying as well: -84%. With #V2G: €355 net revenue www.rabot.energy/wp-content/u...

I just gave a 2h lecture about electricity markets, with a focus on futures and the day-ahead market. Slides: bit.ly/4gKMg6v Video: youtu.be/nHywOS1mHLQ?... Enjoy! 🍿

Just learned that China is now building windmills with a capacity of 26MW *each*. Unthinkable just a few years ago.

Thuisbatterij eigenaars hebben er baat bij dat "iemand" hen helpt om hun thuisbatterij zo snel mogelijk terug te verdienen. EV eigenaars om hun laadfactuur to laag mogelijk te krijgen WP eigenaars om hun verwarmingsfactuur zo laag mogelijk te krijgen. 1/6

(Existing) heat pumps (and 🔋) are getting smarter by the day: on top of optimising for ☀️ & energy tariffs, these devices can now also be controlled to run the national grid more efficiently. GBP 5 - 20 / month bonus for participants, a more efficient and therefore cheaper energy system for all.

Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy? Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy. The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why. medium.com/@jan.rosenow...

*taps mic* Each year, I hear about all the reasons that EVs will fail, and each year sales keep going up. On track for just under 17 million in 2024, in line with BNEF forecast's from the start of the year about.bnef.com/blog/are-glo...

Charging can be added with remarkable speed.
