February 10, 2025The European Commission warns of the urgent need for investment in electricity grids, hydrogen, and CO₂ storage to sustain the energy transition. More than 50% of the investment is concentrated in Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
February 10, 2025The UK solar industry warns that current energy policies could stall solar and battery storage development after 2030, jeopardising £26 billion in investments. Solar Energy UK’s letter urges the Government to revise capacity limits to prevent higher energy costs and a potential industry slowdown.
February 7, 2025The offshore wind sector faces key challenges in 2025, from the need for realistic subsidies of governments to financial uncertainty driven by interest rates and commodity prices. Peter Lloyd-Williams, Senior Analyst at Westwood Global Energy Group, analyses the factors that will shape the sector’s growth and the feasibility of new projects in conversation with Strategic Energy Europe.
February 6, 2025With a record 62.7% of renewable energy in its electricity mix, Germany is making strong progress in renewables. However, Irina Peltegova, Senior Green Power Market Analyst at Veyt, tells Strategic Energy Europe that the country faces key challenges in storage, price volatility, and new renewable energy support schemes. PPAs are emerging as an increasingly attractive alternative for the sector.
February 6, 2025The country generates more renewable energy than it can consume, but the lack of grid infrastructure threatens the development of new projects. “Much of what we generate needs to be exported, but the grid connection is not ready for that,” warns John MacAskill, Group Growth Director at ABL Group, in a conversation with Strategic Energy Europe. In 2025, Scotland’s grid constraints are expected to cost nearly £2 billion in compensation payments.
