Luxembourg Energy Storage: Powering the Future Through
Luxembourg''s solar installations now produce 34% more energy than the national grid can absorb during peak daylight hours. This imbalance creates three pressing issues:
Luxembourg's energy system is characterised by high import dependence and reliance on fossil fuels. In 2018, 95% of its energy supply (100% of oil, natural gas and biofuels and 86% of electricity) were imported. It had the fourth-highest share of fossils fuels in TPES (78%) and the highest share of oil in TPES (60%) among IEA member countries.
In addition to these bilateral or multilateral initiatives, Luxembourg also intends to make full use of the European Financing Mechanism, which allows European countries to join together to develop and finance renewable energy projects, from which the money will be invested in concrete and clearly identifiable projects for Luxembourg taxpayers.
The Benelux/NSEC provides Luxembourg with access to the sea (in a manner of speaking) and to offshore wind energy. The European Commission has estimated that offshore wind in the North Sea could supply up to 12% of the EU's electricity consumption by 2030.
The following are some of the priorities for achieving the objectives set out in Luxembourg's Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP): Self-consumption and sharing of renewable electricity. Targeted expansion of heat produced by renewable energy: heat pumps will become standard in new and renovated buildings.
