Global Energy Review 2025 – IEA

This edition of the Global Energy Review is the first comprehensive depiction of the trends that took place in 2024 across the entire energy sector, covering data for all fuels and technologies, all regions and major countries, and energy-related carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.

European Electricity Review 2025 – EMBER

The European Electricity Review analyses full-year electricity generation and demand data for 2024 in all EU-27 countries to understand the region’s progress in transitioning from fossil fuels to clean electricity.

Renewable Energy Benefits: Leveraging Local Capacity for Concentrated Solar Power – IRENA

The IRENA report in the leveraging local capacity series highlights the job potential of concentrated solar power (CSP). The analysis shows that a 100 MW CSP plant with 10-hour thermal storage can generate around 1.16 million person-days of work.

Key developments in Europeanelectricity and gas markets: 2025 Monitoring Report - ACER

The ACER Monitoring Report on key developments in EU energy markets highlights major trends in 2024, focusing on the interaction between gas and electricity. It sets out ACER’s recommendations on how Europe can unlock a clean, secure and competitive energy future.

EU imports of Russian fossil fuels in third year of invasion – CREA

This report by CREA highlights that in third year of conflict, EU fossil fuel imports from Russia surpassed Ukraine's financial aid. It details Russia’s export strategies, including the role of 'shadow' tankers and sanction evasions, which modestly reduced Kremlin revenues.

The Greek electricity system is characterized by pronounced seasonality. The drop in demand during spring and the rise of renewable production leads to lower prices, but also increased curtailments.

Already, the ministry, the regulator and the two grid operators have enacted a plan in order to curtail renewables in the distribution grid, to avoid overproduction and possible black-outs. The danger is especially present for this year's Easter, when demand traditionally craters.

However, this is only a partial solution. The timely installation of energy storage units will be crucial from now on, as it will end the problem.

This year, the first installations of projects from the first two battery auctions (700 MW) are expected to take place. In the following years, commercial battery units under the new ministerial decree (4.7 GW) will be added in order to surpass 7 GW of storage by 2030.

The ministry has enforced strict timelines for the connection of these projects and investors have warned about the possibility of delays. In such a case, renewable curtailments will stay high for longer.

A clearer picture will be formed later this year, but the main message is that both investors and authorities are in a race against time.

For yet another year, the 8th Ecomobility Conference, the event that reflects the dynamic growth of electromobility in our country, was successfully concluded. The conference was organized by the Hellenic Association for Energy Economics (HAEE) in collaboration with insider.gr, on January 29, 2025, at the Hellenic Motor Museum, under the auspices of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE).

The conference showcased the latest developments in the market and the future of the electromobility sector through a series of engaging speeches, discussions, and presentations and it was honored by the presence of distinguished speakers from the fields of politics, industry, and research.

🎥 If you missed the Conference, all discussion panels are available on demand here. 

As part of the 8th Ecomobility Conference, HAEE's scientific team prepared a special issue on ecomobility, highlighting developments in the market and charging infrastructure, as well as the relevant legislative framework in the EU and Greece.

The feature was published as a special issue in the digital magazine gMotion by Gazzetta, issued by Liquid Media (Issue 111, March 2025), and is available below.

The sixth edition of InFocus, titled "From Dubai to Baku: A Year of Climate Diplomacy", delves into the pivotal climate initiatives and international agreements shaping the future of the energy sector. This issue explores the themes highlighted at COP28 in Dubai and anticipates the priorities of COP29, hosted in Azerbaijan, with a focus on fostering global collaboration in climate action.

The standard version of the report, including the valuable contributions of our Members is open to all.

The full version, including the scientific section prepared by HAEE team, is available only for HAEE Members.
