Spain urged to extend nuclear power stations' lifespans
Experts from the Nuclear Forum believe that by means of this measure the additional energy generated in Spain by the sector would prevent the emission of 50m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, thus respecting the environment and helping fulfill the Kyoto commitments.
The nuclear energy sector is also proposing to encourage a national debate to achieve consensus on the sector's future. The president of the Nuclear Forum, Eduardo Gonzalez, said the issue of nuclear waste and its effects had been brought under control and resolved at a global level. In his opinion, more information must be provided about the advantages of this energy, which is perfectly compatible with others and ever more widely accepted at a worldwide level.

Revenue from Energy Storage for Microgrids to Total More Than $22 Billion in the Next Decade
NEW YORK - A new report from Navigant Research examines the global market for energy storage for microgrids (ESMG), providing an analysis of trends and market dynamics, with forecasts for capacity and revenue that extend through 2026.
Interest in energy storage-enabled microgrids is growing alongside an increase in solar PV and wind deployments. Although not required for microgrids to operate, energy storage systems (ESSs) have emerged as an increasingly valuable component of distributed energy networks because of their ability to effectively integrate renewable generation.
“There are several key drivers resulting in the growth of energy storage-enabled microgrids globally, including the desire to…
