The battery system includes six battery containers, three inverter/transformer containers, and one distribution point container, providing a total electricity capacity of up to 20 MWh. This would be enough to power one electric car for 115,000 km, one household washing machine for 19,000 wash cycles or nearly 3,000 households for one day, Utilitas Wind said.
"Alternative sources of electricity generation such as wind and solar are weather-dependent. If there is strong wind during a particular period, this is likely to be the case throughout the region. This results in a surplus of electricity generated. The opposite is true when there is no wind, when there is a shortfall, but the system we have in place gives us a great advantage - the ability to store 'excess' electricity to make up for when there is a shortfall," said Urbanovičs(..)
P.S. History has been made in Latvia! The Russians' attempt to blackmail the energy market of the Baltic states has suffered a major defeat in Latvia. The first battery of industrial scale will be connected to the energy system...
Utilitas Wind is part of the Estonian energy company OÜ Utilitas. OÜ Utilitas Group develops and manages wind farms in all three Baltic countries and has invested €70 million in the development of the Targale wind farm. Utilitas Wind has an installed capacity of 78.8 MW in Latvia from autumn 2022, generating 171 000 MWh of electricity in 2023, enough to cover the electricity consumption of 56 000 households. In early 2024, Latvenergo AS acquired the Telšiai wind farm project in Lithuania, with a capacity of 124MW, built by Utilitas Wind Ltd(..)

Could Joe Biden STOP draining our strategic fuel reserves in an attempt to cover up the damage his moronic green energy policies have done to consumers and our economy? President Idiot has already drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve down to the dregs. Now he’s emptying our emergency gasoline supplies. Your re-election is not more important than our national security! In the event of a war that interrupts our oil purchases (which we now need because he has knee-capped our domestic drilling) we’re going to be in a world of hurt.

Researchers at MIT discover Clean, Abundant, Renewable and Low-Cost ... Infinite Energy. Could this be the 'Golden Ticket' Solution to Our Massive Energy Needs Future?
Clean electricity generation offers so many opportunities that it would be impossible to name them all. From doing it at the bottom of the sea (as in New York) to on the roofs of buildings (as in California), we have found numerous options. One of them, however, has just attracted the interest of the entire international community. White speckled rocks with trapped, 100% renewable, clean hydrogen…

What He Said
“We’re producing more energy than ever before in this nation. We have the strongest economy in the world, and we are beating China for the first time in decades. More people went to work this morning in America than at any other time in our nation’s history. So I’ve got a message to Donald Trump and all his negativity and his whining: Stop sh*t talking America. This is the greatest country on earth, and it’s time that we all start acting like it.”
– PA Governor Josh Shapiro

“Finland’s wind power capacity increased by 75 per cent last year, according to the Finnish Wind Energy Association (FWPA).
With almost half of Finland’s wind power domestically owned, the renewable energy source is providing a significant lifeline during the current energy crisis.
“Wind power is now increasing our country’s energy self-sufficiency at a really good pace - just when new and affordable electricity production is most needed,” says Anni Mikkonen, CEO of the FWPA.
Renewable energy investments are surging across Europe
As with other European countries, Finland sped up its renewable energy transition in reaction to fuel shortages after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In December, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that global renewable power capacity growth will double over the next five years...
...The growth in renewables is also helping Finland achieve its ambitious climate goals. The country hopes to be one of the first in Europe to reach net zero, setting a 2035 target - well ahead of the EU’s 2050 goal.
How much did Finland’s wind power capacity increase in 2022?
In 2022, Finland put 427 new wind turbines into operation, adding 2,430 megawatts of capacity. One megawatt could power an estimated 1,000 homes, meaning the new turbines could service over 2.4 million households.
The country now has a total of 1,393 wind turbines producing a combined power of 5,677 MW - potentially enough to power an estimated 5.5 million homes in a country with a population of 5.5 million.
Wind power capacity is expected to increase by around 1,000 MW annually over the next few years. By 2025, wind is expected to cover at least 28 per cent of Finland’s electricity consumption, up from almost 10 per cent in 2021.
How is wind power affecting Finland’s economy?
The wind power Finland added in 2022 brought €2.9 billion in investments to the country.
“No other industry currently brings as many annual investment euros to Finland as wind power,” says Mikkonen. “Wind power also brings vitality to many small municipalities, where investment targets may otherwise be few.”
With the cost of renewables trending downwards, it could also reduce the country’s energy prices in future.
“No other electricity generation can be built in Finland as quickly and as cost-effectively right now,” says Mikkonen.
According to Oxford University researchers, ending fossil fuel use by 2050 will save the world at least $12 trillion (€11.3 trillion).
The production of wind power has increased by 23 percent a year globally. As capacity surges, costs will continue to fall.
Meanwhile the price of fossil fuels - when adjusted for inflation - has not dropped significantly over the past 140 years. Any major changes have been due to geopolitical events like the war in Ukraine.” -via EuroNews, 1/12/23

We've never had a time when we've exported more crude oil than we've imported, but there are times that we've exported more petroleum products than we've imported. Petroleum products includes crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuels, jet fuel, plastics, and much more. Anything that can be made from what comes out of oil wells.
That negative net imports era began in 2020 under Trump, and he touted it as 'energy independence.' Exporting more plastics than we import doesn't really relate to energy independence, though. Real energy independence starts with exporting more crude oil than we import.
But the net exports of petroleum products that Trump celebrated as an accomplishment are greater now than they ever were then.

Life . Where I am right now and where I wanna be are two different places . Right now am struggling with finishing my diploma , just one more semester and am done .
But the question is I don’t want to go ahead with my degree but at the same time I’m that girl with big dreams , that girl that always wanted expensive stuff and I really don’t want anyone to sponsor me bcoz in the end they will get tired of you.
Nothing sweeter than having your own money, I mean that which you worked for and spending on yourself. Yes it’s good when someone buys you something but that can’t be me . I always have this feeling that when are they gonna use against me coz it happened to me in the past Soo I don’t want it repeated.
I rather be broke than someone buy me something out of mercy , that shiit really haunts bad. I know there are people who are genuine & love doing good for others but as for me It’s the opposite, would do anything for anyone,that I am sure I will definitely forget unless I get reminded . Which I don’t really like to be reminded ofcoz , it’s not that am being rude but I get shy and overwhelmed.
Soo am really praying that I never get to depend on anyone , that May Allah use me as means to support his creatures, that I never forget how it feels to have nothing, that I really get rich and not forget my religion and where I came from,that I become a blessing to my family, community and the whole of the ummah.
May I never have bad intentions,may I always attract good people and good things for I know how it feels to be surrounded by bad intentions. May I become independent and humble enough.
May we all get what we cherish ya Rabb 🤲, Ameen ya Rabb 💞

About That Big Solar Power Plant …
Meanwhile, Sunly has not let the grass grow under its feet. Last week the company rolled out its first project under the new financing, a 244-megawatt solar power plant located in Risti, in Lääne County. A 144-megawatt battery array will complement the solar panels, and Sunly is in discussions with local communities to determine the location of nine wind turbines.
At 244 megawatts, the size of the project is a giant step up for Estonia. The current record holder for solar power plants in the country is the 77.5-megawatt Kirikmäe Solar Farm in Pärnu County, which started operating in October. The Kirikmäe project more than doubled Estonia’s installed solar capacity in one blow. Now here comes the Risti project, which is more than triple the size(..)
