Energy Storage Re-imagined (RheEnergise)

Instead of a European sovereignty fund, Brussels’ new clean tech financing facility falls short of investment expectations.

In response to calls for a European sovereignty fund to invest in green tech, the European Commission responded with a mere financing facility, the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform, or STEP, prompting observers to question its potential impact - even before its details were revealed.

On August 3rd the Government of Alberta suspended approvals on all new renewable electricity generation projects. The moratorium will remain in place until February of 2024. 
As part of the announcement the government said the Alberta Utilities Commission would start an inquiry examining future rules for new projects. The inquiry would focus on the impacts on agricultural land and viewscapes, requirements for post-project cleanup, and how the growth of renewable energy would affect the province’s over power grid. 
There was no notice of the moratorium and at the time Iron & Earth called for the government to engage with the renewable energy sector. 
On September 7th Iron & Earth hosted a panel discussion on the moratorium. The panel was made up of Stephen Buhler, a Community Engagement Officer with Iron & Earth, Luisa Da Silva, Executive Director of Iron & Earth, and Jason Markusoff, a journalist with CBC. The webinar was moderated  by freelance broadcaster and host of our Renewable Conversation podcast, Don Hill. 
Here is the audio recording from that event.
