In a world increasingly valuing energy investments, renewables eclipse fossil fuels. A recent report by energy research institute, Ember highlights record-breaking wind and solar energy in 2022, signaling the decline of fossil fuels. In this era emphasizing renewable energy, ensuring secure energy control and distribution is crucial. Experts affirm that companies investing here will impact, highlighting the significant strides of Turkish energy giant, XKoren Electric.

XKoren Electric is a rising name, focusing on low-voltage protection and control devices for secure renewable energy. With a mission for a carbon-neutral world through widespread electricity use, it’s rapidly advancing globally with a strong portfolio and broad sales network in Turkey.

WIND AND SOLAR ENERGY BROKE RECORDS IN 2022, MARKING THE DECLINE OF THE FOSSIL FUEL ERA!

Energy, a critical global sector, is indispensable for daily life and economic productivity. Efforts to shift from fossil fuels to renewables intensify worldwide, aiming to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions and global warming. The United Nations annually hosts the ‘Climate Change Conference,’ where crucial decisions on reducing fossil fuel usage are made. The latest, COP27, held in Egypt with representatives from 194 nations, saw pivotal resolutions for curbing global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, signaling positive global progress.

The recent Ember report reveals compelling data. Wind and solar energy made significant strides, increasing their contribution to global electricity production from 10% in 2021 to 12% in 2022, setting new records. Projections in the report indicate that from 2023 onwards, wind and solar energy will drive a transformative era, witnessing a decline in fossil fuel production and subsequent reduction in energy sector emissions. The report confidently marks the initiation of the decline of the fossil fuel era. Lead author Małgorzata Wiatros Motyka stated, ‘These 10 years, critical for climate action, mark the beginning of the end of the fossil era. We are now entering the era of clean energy.’ Many researchers agree that 2022 signifies the start of the end for fossil fuels.

The global focus on renewable energy investments is growing, with countries offering substantial incentives. Secure energy control and distribution are crucial in this renewable era. Turkish company XKoren Electric made a bold entry into the global race with a 50 million euro investment, following its successful acquisition of a renowned Korean energy company, already attracting attention in the market.

More Named Storms — Is Your Luxury Pergola Ready?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted a 60% chance that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season would be above normal. The administration said to watch for between 13 and 19 total named storms — those with winds of 39 mph or higher.

For homeowners in hurricane-prone regions, this raises an urgent question: are your outdoor spaces ready to weather the storm?

PERGOLUX, a leader in durable outdoor structures, designs powder-coated aluminum pergolas with adjustable louvers to withstand the harshest environments.

“Today’s outdoor living spaces face the wrath of nature’s extremes,” says Tim Heneveld, Country Director of PERGOLUX North America. “Hurricanes, tropical storms, and flash floods bring powerful winds exceeding 100 mph. Their relentless rain and rising floodwaters can quickly devastate unprepared structures. If you want to protect your investments, resilient design is essential.”

Is your aluminum pergola and louvered roof ready to take on intense storms?

The open-air elegance of patio pergolas with slat roofs is perfect for a gentle breeze, but can make them vulnerable to the violent forces of hurricane winds. These storm winds pack powerful uplift and lateral forces.

Wind uplift occurs when gusts of wind flow beneath the roof, generating upward pressure that can lift the entire structure off its base. Lateral forces push a pergola horizontally, causing it to lean or even collapse.

The key defense against these powerful forces? A reinforced frame.

“Strong, well-engineered frames act as the backbone of your pergola,” notes Heneveld. “Aluminum is the ideal material for a pergola’s frame. It combines the strength needed to resist bending or breaking with a lighter weight that reduces strain on the foundation.”

PERGOLUX’s pergolas feature reinforced frames engineered to withstand intense storms with confidence. In fact, their latest model, the Skydance Series 3 Pergola, is specially crafted to endure winds up to 165 mph, which means that even when fierce hurricanes like Milton sweep through, these pergolas remain intact.

Reinforced aluminum frames designed with thickened beams and precision connections stand up to wind uplift and lateral pressure. Hurricane-rated bolts, brackets, and screws hold everything tightly together to prevent ‌weak points that storms so often exploit. When each joint is reinforced and well-anchored, your pergola can remain a steadfast retreat despite the wildest weather. Thicker beams and columns combined with robust engineering techniques give these pergolas superior strength. Extra support brackets, hidden fasteners, and precise assembly methods ensure the frame endures.

Elevated bases can protect your luxury pergola from floods

Along with high winds, storms bring torrential rain. Rising water can undermine structural footings and rot wooden materials, which can destabilize the entire installation.

An elevated base is a strategic line of defense. “By constructing your pergola on raised concrete footings or piers, you create a gap between the ground and the structure,” notes Heneveld. “During a flood, it keeps the water at bay. The elevation also prevents erosion caused by pooling rainwater.”

The best-quality outdoor pergolas offer high-grade materials and cutting-edge engineering

The key element of any storm-ready outdoor structure is its materials. PERGOLUX chooses 6063-T5 aluminum, a marine-grade alloy renowned for its incredible strength and exceptional resistance to corrosion, even when exposed to salty sea air and humid conditions.

“A wooden or vinyl pergola may look great at first,” says Heneveld, “but they often require costly upkeep or replacement after just a few seasons of storm damage. Our reinforced aluminum pergolas will give you years of worry-free durability. It will remain strong and look fantastic, no matter the weather.”

PERGOLUX’s advanced engineering solutions also protect what is inside the structure. Their patented RainLUX™ integrated gutter system channels rainwater away, preventing leaks that can damage furniture and floors.

“We offer a 10-year warranty to back up all of our claims,” Heneveld says. “It’s our commitment that these structures will protect your home’s exterior environment for years to come. We want you to focus on enjoying the moments that matter in your pergola, not on the coming storms.”

Practical outdoor living tips to prepare your louvered pergola kit before storm season

Even the strongest pergola will fare better when prepped for a coming storm. “Make sure to secure your loose items,” Heneveld warns. “Before a storm, remove furniture, planters, and décor. All of these can become hazardous projectiles.”

When homeowners hear that a storm is on the way, they will want to fully secure any screens or panels. Removing detachable panels before severe weather will help protect the pergola by reducing wind resistance.

Homeowners will want to take the time to routinely inspect and maintain their pergolas. A quick check for loose fasteners or other small signs of wear goes a long way in preserving the pergola’s strength.

“Combine simple preparation with a reinforced, elevated, and expertly engineered structure, and you’ll have an outdoor space built to last,” Heneveld concludes. “Investing in a storm-ready pergola is about so much more than just avoiding damage. You’re preserving a lifestyle. A long-lasting pergola will bring you years of shaded summer barbecues and fresh-air morning coffees.”
