We launched into 2021 with a couple of fantastic events. Our first webinar for 2021 was Focussing on Multi-Sector Decommissioning on Tuesday 19 January. This multi-sector webinar looked at key energy Jo Campbell markets in the decommissioning industry, highlighting specific new business opportunities in the oil and gas, nuclear and wind sectors. On 26 January we partnered with PEEL Environmental to host an incredibly popular webinar looking at the decarbonisation plans for the North West of England. As the country pushes forward with a green industrial revolution designed to drive economic recovery while meeting net zero emission targets, this webinar looked at the range of projects taking place in the North West. We also heard the latest from Peel L&P on its strategic energy and resource hub Protos and the company’s plans for a new district heat network in Liverpool. They also presented an update on their pioneering waste plastic to hydrogen technology which Peel L&P is planning to roll out across the UK as part of its ambition to create plastic parks to deal with all kinds of plastic waste. Decarbonisation is of course the hot topic for 2021 with the run up to COP26 in Glasgow this November. The EIC will be hosting a number of webinars in the run up to COP26 under our Road to COP26 series. Look out for the COP26 series stamp as we address all energy transition related topics and innovations for a net zero future.

Spanish solar PV market dives head-first into 2021
Spain’s solar market continues to flourish. A succession of large utility-scale projects were added to the existing portfolio, leading the country’s green energy transition. Ellomay Capital connected the 300MW Talasol solar plant in Talaván to the grid and began hot commissioning tests at the start of the year. In Cáceres, Encavis started operations at the 300MW Talayuela project, the largest development in its portfolio. Enel Green Power also completed the La Vega and La Vega II plants totalling 86MW, in the municipality of Teba. The €60m plants are expected to produce 171GWh of electricity per year.
