Managed by the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry (MECI), this scheme facilitates the deployment of hybrid energy systems (combining renewable generation with storage) to mitigate energy curtailment and enhance grid stability. The programme is divided into two phases:

Phase A (Investment Aid): Backed by €40 million from the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF), this phase provides grants for the installation of storage units at both existing and new RES plants. The investment aid is capped at €125,000 per MW of storage capacity.

Phase B (Operating Aid): Funded by the national RES Fund, this phase supports new hybrid projects through two-way Contracts of Difference (CfDs).

Key Requirements & Technical Details:

Eligible Technologies: Targets mature technologies including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and pumped hydro storage.

Storage Duration: Systems must have a guaranteed discharge duration of at least 2 hours (for systems up to 120 kW) or 3 to 4 hours for larger plants.

75% Rule: To ensure clean charging, the storage component must absorb at least 75% of its energy from the directly connected renewable energy installation on an annual basis.

Contract Length: New projects under the scheme are eligible for 10-year contracts.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
