New Year's Revolution: Hornsea, SunZia, and beyond

In this episode, we discuss the $11.05 billion debt package for one of the largest green infrastructure projects in US history,  Pattern Energy Group's SunZia Wind and Transmission projects.

We also take a look at Corre Energy's Green Hydrogen Hub project in Denmark, an initiative in long-duration energy storage, Mulilo Energy's participation in South Africa's second battery energy storage tender, and the UK's £300 million funding for a HALEU fuel production facility.

We also focus on Ørsted's final investment decision on the Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm, which is poised to become one of the world's largest offshore wind farms after months of back-and-forth in government negotiations.

We delve into Statkraft's €6 billion investment programme in Norway, a plan encompassing upgrades to hydroelectric power plants and the construction of new onshore wind farms. And ask how Norway's net-zero ambitions are pushing it towards becoming a major offshore wind player.

Finally, we examine the vital role of microgrids in the energy transition, exploring their emergence as decentralised, resilient power solutions. We contrast Europe's cautious approach with the US's proactive adoption, highlighting challenges, advancements, and the pivotal role microgrids play in shaping a sustainable, net-zero future.
