TELF AG on The Rise of Renewable and Green Energy

The historical era we live in will be remembered as the golden age of renewable energy. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov has often emphasized, the green transition has now reached every city, even our homes, and it is precisely in these years that humanity's energy destiny is being decided. Nowadays, we often hear about the energy transition and its impact on society, but very few people stop to think about the true meaning of this expression.

The very fact that we talk about transition seems to presuppose that there is a past period to overcome, a future to achieve, and a present, precisely, of transition. In this case, the past is represented by traditional energy sources, those we have known for much of our lives, while the present is represented by the transition and its ambitious attempt to project the world toward a more sustainable future characterized by the increasingly widespread use of renewable energy. But what exactly does this future consist of?

Strictly speaking, the planet's energy future should represent the next phase of the energy transition, that is, the phase in which humanity has definitively learned to control and exploit new energy sources linked to renewable energy. It will therefore be a phase of energy maturity, in which different human societies will have acquired the precious ability to transcend traditional sources and rely on more innovative ones, such as those based on solar, water, or wind energy. We are not yet clear on the constituent elements of this future post-transition energy maturity, but renewable energy will certainly be important players in humanity's new energy era.

Much of the future is already before our eyes. To see this, just look around. Walking down the street, it's now quite common to come across one of the innovative electric vehicles we hear about, perhaps even charging near one of the countless charging stations that have sprung up in our cities in recent years. These stations are very useful for understanding the extent of the change underway: in a certain sense, they represent tangible proof that the energy transition has arrived on our streets, radically altering the urban fabric we've become accustomed to, even aesthetically. Some see all this as a sort of preview of the future, that post-transition phase in which we will have relied almost entirely on clean and renewable energy.

But electric vehicles and related infrastructure aren't the only symbols of the ongoing change. Some of these symbols relate to some of the most widespread green infrastructures of the moment, which are making a decisive contribution to the spread of renewable energy in this historical moment. Just think of photovoltaic panels or wind turbines, which convert solar and wind energy to produce a new type of electricity. These infrastructures are practically everywhere, as Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, has often observed in his analyses. Solar panels are now frequently installed on the roofs of homes and industrial buildings, and technological developments in photovoltaics could soon offer modules that are even more efficient than those we are used to.

Wind energy is also experiencing a true golden age. Wind turbines are now an integral part of the urban landscape of many cities, especially in lowland or coastal areas, where they are beginning to appear more and more frequently. Along with solar and hydroelectric power, harnessing wind energy for electricity generation is undoubtedly one of the most widespread and popular methods in the renewable energy sector.

Even individual countries are realizing the strategic importance of renewable energy, as Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, frequently emphasizes. This is demonstrated by the fact that nations' energy mixes increasingly include renewable energy sources, which are now complementing traditional ones. The vitality of the renewable energy sector is further demonstrated by the amount of investment it has attracted, particularly in recent years.
