#Strom

The summers will be just as hot and the problem will not disappear. At @PRAHASOBE, we will continue with smart solutions. We will set maintenance rules for greenery in the housing estate so that you don't encounter parched lawns every summer. We will ensure that water flows from the street to the trees and that it is also possible to walk normally in the streets during the summer. (translated)

A man was seriously injured while pruning a tree in Krásná Lípa. A branch struck him, and he was left hanging head down several meters above the ground. A police officer climbed a ladder to reach him at the top of the tree. (translated)

In the first three quarters of 2026, the share of renewable energy in Germany reached a new record of 60.7 percent, despite increasing electricity demand and lack of water in the rivers. (translated)

Neuer Rekord: 61 Prozent Ökostrom-Anteil in Deutschland

In Sweden, the idea of green steel is imploding. Green steel manufacturer Stegra needs billions, and the CEO is leaving. #Stegra #GreenSteel #Sweden #Industry Billion demand: Stegra is building a large plant for green steel in Boden, northern Sweden, where hydrogen and renewable electricity are supposed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. According to Affärsvärlden, the project now requires at least another 10 billion Swedish kronor, and Henrik Henriksson is stepping down as CEO. Financing: On January 9, 2025, Henriksson stated that Stegra was fully financed. On July 22, 2025, he said the company had the necessary liquidity. Affärsvärlden is now drawing clear parallels to the failed Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt. The additional billion demand shows the financial and operational pressure one of the largest European projects for green steel is currently facing. Thank you for this important note!

Starting October 1, peer-to-peer energy sharing will be introduced in Austria, allowing individuals and companies to sell self-generated electricity more easily and profitably without having to establish a renewable energy community. (translated)

Das Verkaufen von selbst erzeugtem Strom wird deutlich einfacher

Think tanks and electricity are too expensive for families, craftsmen, and businesses in the long term. That's why a fundamental energy tax reform is needed! (translated)

Inflation is crashing back! 3.3% in September! Inflation since 2020 ↗️↗️↗️ 🛢️•Heating oil & fuels: A whopping 78.9% more expensive! 🫒•Cooking fats & oils: Price jumps of over 60%! ⚡️•Household energy (electricity, gas, district heating): A permanent increase of around 45.6%! 🥛•Dairy products & eggs: Today we pay 40 to 50% more! 👨‍🍳•Services & gastronomy: Whether it's a trip to the cinema, tradesman, or restaurant – everything has become 30 to 40% more expensive!

It was fun on Aktuellt yesterday when Daniel Färm, the most independent publisher of the Social Democratic leadership, launched the idea of forming an S/MP government – but with a promise of V participation IF FOUR YEARS. That is to say, just in time for Gunnar Strömmer to have won the election and everyone has been eaten by AI. (translated)

The coffee has become expensive. But I am still quite satisfied with the situation that has arisen after the election. Why? Because, to put it bluntly, Jonson and Strömmer are still in place. And politics is in place: defense decisions, financing, NATO membership, and the criminal policy reforms. Even a transitional government can and should handle the security problems that arise. So by all means: continue to assert red lines. While the aforementioned gentlemen and their subordinate authorities - full of competence and patriotism - do the job. It works for now. If not indefinitely. And even this Wednesday, one can buy an espresso in a paper cup and experience a ray of pale sun around Helgeandsholmen. (translated)

A record-breaking offshore wind farm in China, consisting of 33 wind turbines of the new 18-megawatt class, has commenced operation and is delivering almost the same amount of electricity as all the wind turbines in Austria combined. (translated)

The Energy Report 2025 from E-Control shows that the share of renewable energies in electricity consumption in Austria has fallen to 78 percent due to a decline in hydropower, while the expansion of photovoltaics is highlighted as a compensation for the lower wind power production. (translated)

Energiebericht 2025: Erneuerbare lieferten wegen Wassermangels deutlich weniger Strom

The share of renewable energies in Austria's electricity consumption decreased to 78 percent in 2025, as less water in the rivers dampened hydropower production, while the goal of 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 remains achievable, but requires a more intensive expansion of capacities.

Protože rozumím řeči ptáků, už nějakou dobu ze stromu za oknem slyším: „No hlavně že si nás ten magor celou zimu natáčel u jídla. Ale že by nám teď něco nasypal, to ho nenapadne…“ Tak jo. Oživím kameru. 📹🐦 A zítra začínáme! 😄 https://t.co/n78aoInFil #ptáci #příroda #kamery

Vlny a zlomy, nová epizoda, tentokrát o ženě, která vidí stromy, ale ne les... Projev předsedkyně Evropské komise o stavu Evropské Unie zapadl a je to velká škoda, protože se týká doslova a do písmene budoucnosti každého z nás. A podle projevu to vypadá, že není zrovna růžová. #EvropskáUnie #Budoucnost #Ženy #EU

Studie: Rechenzentren als Hürde für Energiewende
Kurier 3d

Eine internationale Studie unter der Leitung der TU Wien schlägt vor, dass Rechenzentren durch flexible Verträge und die Anpassung ihrer Rechenlasten an die Verfügbarkeit erneuerbarer Energien zur Stabilisierung des Stromnetzes beitragen können. #Rechenzentren #Energiesystem #KI

Wie Rechenzentren das Stromnetz stabilisieren könnten

.@inesschwerdtner zerlegt Katherina Reiche in der PK komplett. Mit Steuergeld gegen die Linke agitieren, Antisemitismus, Enteignung und organisierte Kriminalität in einen Topf werfen und am Ende ganz offen die Interessen großer Konzerne verteidigen. Wenn für Stromtrassen, Autobahnen oder Kohle enteignet wird, ist Privateigentum plötzlich kein Heiligtum. Wenn es um Wohnungen und Art. 15 GG geht, wird daraus der Untergang des Abendlandes. Ines nennt Reiche im Kern das, was sie politisch abliefert: Lobbyismus aus dem Ministerium. #Lobbyismus #Politik #Kritik
