This report by Ember analyzes how Spain's strategic expansion of renewable energy has decoupled electricity prices from volatile gas prices, shielding consumers during the 2026 energy crisis triggered by the US-Israel war with Iran. It details the reduction in gas influence on power prices, the resulting savings for typical households, and policy responses following the April 2025 Iberian blackout to improve grid resilience and electrification.

This report by Ember examines the critical role of electricity interconnectors in maintaining European energy security, preventing blackouts, and mitigating the impact of geopolitical conflicts and sabotage. It argues that expanding and securing cross-border grid capacity is a vital element of protecting European society against hybrid warfare and technical failures.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics examines the causes of power blackouts, arguing that failures in network infrastructure, human error, and extreme weather are the primary drivers rather than renewable energy generation. It highlights a significant global investment gap in grid infrastructure, which the IEA warns could become the "weak link" in the energy transition.

The report argues that the European Union's 2020 hydrogen strategy was overly ambitious and requires recalibration to align with market realities. It advocates for a pragmatic, implementation-focused approach that prioritizes 'hard-to-electrify' sectors—such as steel, maritime, and fertilizers—while utilizing a combination of mandates ('sticks') and targeted funding ('carrots') to bridge the cost gap between renewable hydrogen and fossil-based alternatives.

This fact sheet details a EUR 600 million green bond issued by Energias de Portugal Group (EDP) on October 12, 2018, marking the first green bond issuance in Portugal.

This document is a publication list from October 2011 for the project "Landuse change, biofuels and rural development in the La Plata Basin". It lists various academic articles, theses, and reports focusing on ecohydrology, land use change, and biofuel policies in South America, particularly in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay.

This technical policy briefing note describes the climate change projections used in the ClimateCost project, focusing on temperature and precipitation changes globally and across Europe. It evaluates three emission scenarios—A1B (medium-high), E1 (mitigation), and RCP8.5 (high)—using a combination of Global Climate Models (GCMs) and Regional Climate Models (RCMs) to assess future impacts and the associated uncertainties.
