How windy is Europe’s windiest country in reality?

Speaker: Michael Jefferson, EMC Advisory Board Member, and International Advisory Board Member of the Energy Policy journal

The talk looks closely at the performance of wind energy developments, particularly onshore in the UK and over the past 15 years, and concludes that given the strength of annual mean average wind flows over the UK (especially over Scotland), the performance has been disappointing. For example, in terms of annualised load factors nearly 46% have recently been underperforming according to one of the basic criteria long applied by the industry itself. Explanations are given as to why this is the case along with suggestions for improvement.

The webinar will take place on Zoom at 6 pm GMT on Wednesday, 29th January.

Breaking with Russia – The European Energy Awakening

Speaker: Dr Adina Revol, Author of the "Rompre avec la Russie. Le réveil énergétique européen”, ed. Odile Jacob (Breaking with Russia: The European Energy Awakening)

Since the post-war era, energy has been central to European integration, beginning with coal, steel and nuclear power. However, Europe's dependence on Russian energy exposed critical vulnerabilities. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted a rapid transformative decision to end this historical reliance, marking a significant geopolitical shift towards energy sovereignty and a unified European stance toward Russia. The path to energy sovereignty remains long, but energy is at the heart of EU autonomy: no great nation prospers without secure, stable and competitive energy.
