Last week, our webinar explored how circular strategies for copper can strengthen Europe’s energy security and grid resilience ♻️ Invited speakers from International Copper Association, Aurubis & Europacable shared practical insights💡 Interested? Recording & presentations are live!👇 buff.ly/ZSCdzDM

⚠️In interview for the @financialtimes.com, EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen and IEA's chief Fatih Birol highlighted the need for Europe to accelerate electrification rate. ⚡️Birol also mentioned how grid capacity could unlock the 600GW of renewables in the queue for connection. +Info👇 buff.ly/q0wKTAR

As the second energy crisis in 5 years, the Middle East conflict is changing global energy investments, according to @iea.org 💪 The 'World Energy Investment 2026' report highlights how decision-makers are prioritising security and moving towards diversifying investments. Here are some takeaways👇

New analysis from @ember-energy.org shows batteries, electric vehicles & heat pumps are ready to scale across 🇪🇺, helping shift demand to times when renewable electricity is abundant. By 2030 🔋 Battery capacity could grow 4x 🚗 1 in 6 cars could be electric 🏡 1 in 5 households could have a heat pump

🇩🇪 ☀️ From Jan-June, Germany hit a new record: renewable energy sources accounted for 58% of electricity consumption! In this same period, renewables generated 152.2 billion kWh of electricity, driven primarily by a growth in offshore wind 🌊 Learn more: www.cleanenergywire.org/news/renewab...

⏳Time is running out. This is your final week to apply for the #RGIGridAwards 2026. Across the world, organisations are developing innovative practices that make electricity grids more effective, inclusive & environmentally responsible. If your work is one of them, now is the time to share it.

Renewables are scaling fast, but a RES-based economy will only succeed if the infrastructure behind it keeps pace ⚡ As @ren21community.bsky.social’s Renewables-Based Economy Tracker shows, the challenge is also about transforming how energy is used across transport, buildings, industry & beyond.

🏆 What practice could inspire the future of grid development? For 13 years, the #RGIGridAwards have recognised the ideas, partnerships & innovations helping to build the grids needed for the energy transition while addressing environmental & societal challenges. ⏳ 2 weeks left to apply by 5 July.

Join us on 🗓️ 1 July for a dialogue on Connecting Vegetation Management & Cultural Ecosystem Services in Grid Planning. 🌿 We'll explore how vegetation management choices influence how communities perceive biodiversity, landscape quality & stewardship.  Register now 👉 us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

🇬🇧 In Great Britain, @neso-energy.bsky.social partners w/ @metoffice.gov.uk to enhance grid resilience in energy system planning 🔄 By embedding weather & climate data into planning, the initiative drives proactive risk management and improves strategic decision-making. Learn more 👉 buff.ly/d4wUyFQ

Grid projects deliver meaningful community & local benefits by addressing economic, social & environmental needs holistically with: 💡Local infrastructure & business support 👥Educational programs & heritage preservation 🌱Nature-based solutions & climate resilience +Info 👉https://buff.ly/3bWaFry

⚡ Europe could reduce fossil fuel imports by 80%, lower power prices by up to 40% and source 95% of its electricity from clean energy by 2050. That's the vision outlined in a new report by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. 📖 www.cip.com/media-insigh...

How can we overcome disruptions in grid supply chains to ensure European climate goals & energy security?🤔 #Circularity offers a solution to help reduce dependency on primary resources, minimise environmental impacts, and build more resilient grid supply chains! ♻️ Learn + at our webinar on 8 July👇

🌞On the longest day of the year, we celebrate the power of the sun - and the people behind the energy transition. This European Solar Day, we are joining @solarpowereu.bsky.social and partners to share the stories of communities, businesses and individuals already benefiting from solar energy.

(1/3) 🎯The energy transition doesn't need one breakthrough. It needs thousands. A new way to engage local communities. A smarter technical solution. A better approach to protecting biodiversity. Most breakthroughs don't make headlines.

Europe’s #EnergyTransition is accelerating with cost-competitive renewables, smart grid integration, and storage solutions! Here’s today round of good news on how innovation is #PoweringProgress 🧶👇

🗓️On Wednesday, our high-level roundtable with @bsc-cns.bsky.social took the discussion further. 💬 Bringing representatives from @ec.europa.eu's DG ENER, grid industry and the wind energy sector, we explored challenges and benefits from applying DestinE to different sectors and infrastructures.

🗓️On Tuesday, our workshop with @dlr-de.bsky.social brought together over 30 participants from industry, research, civil society, and public authorities. 💬 Discussions centred on how DestinE’s tools can be refined to meet users’ needs

🌍Two days, two events, one mission: exploring the Destination Earth’s real-world applications for adapting energy infrastructure to climate change! This week, we were happy to collaborate with partner organisations on 2 events under #DestinE's 5th User eXchange (UX5) in Brussels👇

To create meaningful and legitimate community & local benefits, these 3 principles help ensure the buy-in from both local stakeholders and project developers👇 💡 Community empowerment 👥 Lasting community value 🔄 Clear and transparent procedures Explore our Brochure to learn more 👉 buff.ly/3bWaFry

(1/5) ⚡How can Europe ensure that the recent energy crisis is its last? The Electrification Alliance, of which RGI is a member, has launched a new Annex to its Electrification Action Plan paper, outlining 10 key actions to strengthen Europe's energy independence, competitiveness, and resilience.

(1/5) ⚡🇪🇺 At the Energy Council on 26 June, Europe’s energy ministers will discuss a challenge that sits at the heart of the energy transition: how to accelerate electricity grid development across Europe.

(1/2) Are you working on electricity grids and renewables? This is for you👇 The #RGIGridAwards invite submissions from: 🔹 Grid operators 🔹 Project developers 🔹 NGOs 🔹 Public authorities From Europe and beyond 🌍

⏳ 1️⃣ month left to submit your practice for the 13th edition of the #RGIGridAwards! Curious what makes a winner? 🏅Let’s revisit last year’s outstanding projects driving forward a renewables-based, community-engaged energy future 👇
