Icelandic Election Set to Usher In a Green Energy Boom

"The expansion that’s likely to be unleashed as a new government comes in may see more #hydro and #geothermal plants emerging across Europe’s most sparsely populated country. #Iceland’s first wind farm, run by the national power company Landsvirkjun, is due to join the grid in 2026 and several other #WindParks are on the drawing board. Harnessing of solar and tidal power remains an option too."

'Energy independent' #Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for 10 straight months
theprogressplaybook.com/2023/1 “#Renewables alone have powered the Uruguayan economy for 10 straight months.

Between 1 July 2023 and end-April 2024, the South American nation generated all of its electricity from #hydro, #wind, #bioenergy and #solar

Hydroelectric plants comprised 42.9% of the total mix, followed closely by wind farms at 40.6%. Bioenergy (12.9%) and solar (3.5%) accounted for the remainder.”

Since 23 September, Ecuador has been hit by rolling blackouts, which peaked at the beginning of November, with power cuts lasting up to 14 hours a day, mainly during daylight and evening hours, when demand is highest.

The country – which gets about three-quarters of its electricity from hydropower – goes through one of its worst droughts in decades, and people struggle to adjust to the relentless blackouts.

AGL issues warning on Duttons nuclear plan.

Power giant AGL says Australia has reached a critical juncture in the renewable energy transition and has no time to waste on the Coalition’s controversial pitch to build nuclear generators.

“The cost and the time of delays involved in nuclear assets are such that we simply cannot wait,” “We need to move ahead” with the rollout of renewables, she added.

Where do we go from here?

Unlike the Cowichan River, the #Koksilah is an uncontrolled #river with no storage and as such, there are limited options available to manage flows. The only options available to us are to change our current practices around #LandUse and #WaterUse. Most importantly, the #KoksilahRiver is challenging all of us to work together to collaboratively identify and implement solutions that will impact us all. New collaborations and partnerships are emerging.

An informal “Koksilah #DroughtManagement team” has been formed to discuss how to collaboratively make short term in-season decisions and work with water users to navigate periods of low flow. This ad-hoc group is comprised of representatives from #FLNRORD, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Cowichan Station’s Koksilah Working Group, BC Dairy Association, BC Agriculture Council, Cowichan Watershed Board, Farmland Advantage, Water Survey of Canada, Cowichan Estuary Nature Centre and private forestry representatives.

In the longer term, an innovative government to government partnership has been struck between Cowichan Tribes and the FNLRORD to explore and scope the feasibility of initiating a joint #WaterSustainability Planning process, an innovative new tool under #BCWaterSustainabilityAct (2016).

"As one element in the modernized provincial water regime, Water Sustainability Plans are a promising tool that can enable and enhance adaptive water management and new governance relationships that express core elements of government-to-government relationships for water and watersheds, as well as address the challenges of environmental flows, sustainable groundwater management, drought planning and protecting and enhancing watershed health."
