Russia’s power grid, held together with spit and grit
MOSCOW — In big Russian cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg, 30 percent of applications to connect to the electric grid are denied because the system of distribution wires hasn’t been upgraded in decades, according to one energy expert.
Turn to solar? Not so easy; across the country, it is impossible to connect a solar panel to the electricity network. The technical specifications to feed electricity onto the network have never been written, and neither have the regulations to govern it, said another.

Kiev said that Moscow sent in money for February and March deliveries of Gas
That’s almost $ 800 million. But paid on Friday, at the end of the working day. And the claim that the money will be by Monday. Moscow has already said it has not yet reached a cent. Wait until Monday. And then – as appropriate.
[…]Canada has a strong interest in the European market. But it all depends on the construction of infrastructure. If Canada will be able to export its gas to the Atlantic coast, then together with the U.S., it can become a major supplier of natural gas to Europe” – notes the analyst of “NRG Expert Energy Intelligence “Edgar van der Meer Read the article

G.E.’s Bid for Alstom Units Puts Siemens in a Bind
If the American industrial giant General Electric has a corporate doppelgänger in Europe, it is the German company Siemens. Both are global conglomerates that make trains, medical scanners and — most notably at the moment — the turbines and other equipment that generate and transport much of the world’s electricity.

Community Energy (R)evolution
19th February 2014, London – Community energy schemes in the UK are on the up. Championed by the conservative energy and climate minister Greg Barker, supported by Britain’s first Community Energy Strategy unveiled last month and backed by councils across the UK, we are beginning to see a change in how we as a nation view energy management.
Catalysing factors such as rising energy prices; Citizen’s Advice project that prices have risen by 37% since 2010, leading to fuel poverty; Legal and General MoneyMood Survey showed that 4.98 million households in the UK were in fuel poverty this year as a result of rising fuel bills; and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the UK by 80% by 2050, are driving this transformation.
