We would like to kindly inform you that the guests of the first episode of E.ON Talks were Włodzimierz Ehrenhalt, vice-president of the Renewable Energy Association and Michał Skorupa, CEO of E.ON Foton.
The conversation concerned the dynamics of the development of photovoltaics in Poland and the new rules for the settlement of prosumers, which will come into force on April 1, 2022.
One of the most important tasks adopted by 193 member states of the United Nations, defined as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, is the issue of a significant increase in the share of renewable energy sources in the global energy mix. According to the experts of the International Energy Agency (IEA), the RES capacity will increase by 4.8 thousand tonnes by 2026. GW. China is leading the way in this change, as it will install renewable energy sources with a capacity of 1.2 thousand tonnes four years ahead of its self-imposed deadline. GW. Despite many optimistic signals, some skeptics emphasize that the rate of growth of RES is not sufficient to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Włodzimierz Ehrenhalt, vice-president of the Renewable Energy Association looks at the whole process more broadly: “What is currently happening on the energy market around the world, especially in Europe, is a complete change of the living system of societies and the economy by electrifying entire areas of life. […] It is not energy that is being created, but non-fuel energy, ie renewable energy. […] In a few dozen years, renewable sources will take over the entire energy sector, not only energy, but also heating, because electrification of heating is a matter of time. And the transition to electrification of the whole life, the entire economy will significantly improve the climate, because they are emission-free ”. This view is shared by Michał Skorupa, President of the Management Board of E.ON Foton, and emphasizes: “Today this is the direction from which it is difficult to say that we have a retreat. We have specific regulations, which are also a kind of signpost in which way this transformation is to take place ”.
