1. Quarter is done, and so is 1. April, so time for some facts.

With

2306 MW offshore wind
4710 MW onshore wind
2230 MW solar

🇩🇰 wind & solar generated 6.1 TWh in Q1-2023.

With 9.2 TWh load, that is 67% wind+solar penetration, leaving 3.5 TWh residual load (purple area).
The 3.5 TWh residual load was covered by:

Import 0.9 TWh
Waste 0.2 TWh
Biomass 1.1 TWh
Fossil gas 0.6 TWh
Coal 0.8 TWh
By 2031, following capacities is projected to installed acc. to @Energistyr AF22:

13251 MW offshore wind
7415MW onshore wind
18640 MW solar

Incl. 9 GW offshore wind to be tendered in 2023.

/1 new research @UniLUT on #100RE bibliometrics ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/99446… Key insights: 550+ articles known; research field is growing with 26%/yr in research output for more than a decade and more than 1400 authors have been involved so far. 2021 articles counted until mid-2021.
/2 Europe, the US and Australia are the global research centers for #100RE, while a huge research gap for Global South countries still limits the impact of the research findings. Research from Global South for Global South is even more limited.
/3 most applied energy system models for #100RE are EnergyPLAN (74), LUT-ESTM (63), HOMER (22), TIMES (19), PyPSA (16), LOADMATCH (10), REMix (10), GENeSYS-MOD (10) - all others are below 10 articles. Balmorel articles were detected just recently.

/1 Latest @UniLUT research shows that #100RE in global power sector in 2030s is the least cost case: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. Comparison to #WEO scenarios of #IEA and @SvenTeske /DLR scenarios. Modelling in 1-h temporal and 9 global regions resolution. Image
/2 The @UniLUT scenarios reveal that #100RE anytime in 2030s is a least cost solution. Solar PV-battery is the inner core of least cost supported by wind power and other renewables. Sector coupling was not investigated but would further reduce system cost. Image
/3 Comparison to @SvenTeske /DLR reveals an interesting societal choice: low-cost with PV-wind-battery in the core vs higher resource/technology diversity for higher cost (+10-20%). Finally, different paths lead to #100RE and societies have the choice what feature to rate higher.

Tonight on the @CNN #climateforum, Democratic candidates will talk through their plans to rapidly transition our country to clean energy. We’re guessing we’ll hear a lot about #renewables & carbon pricing. But what will they say about #nuclear energy?

#DemDebates
Will they mention that it’s the largest source of carbon free electricity in the US?

thx:@GovNuclear
Will anyone point out that, considering the scale of the challenge, we should get rid of fossil fuels before even thinking about getting rid of nuclear?
