August 26, 2025So far in 2025, cleantech start-ups have raised €557 million, six times more than in 2024. However, the lack of capacity in the electricity grid and recent regulatory decisions are raising concerns about the future.
August 26, 2025The Bundesverband Windenergie Offshore (BWO) calls for a practical approach to applying the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), warning that excessive bureaucracy could hinder investment and jeopardize offshore wind expansion. “The NZIA is an opportunity to strengthen Europe’s offshore wind supply chain, but only if implemented with agility and clarity,” says Stefan Thimm, Managing Director of BWO.
August 26, 2025Three major green hydrogen projects led by French firms are moving forward in the United Kingdom, backed by public funding and totalling over 250 MW of electrolysis capacity. With active roles in the Tees, Wallsend and Fawley initiatives, companies like Lhyfe, EDF, Hynamics and Hy24 are strengthening their global presence and shaping the future of renewable hydrogen deployment in Europe.
August 25, 2025A total of 40 battery and pumped storage projects have advanced through authorisations over the past three years. With solar and wind hybridisations leading the way and several strategic stand-alone schemes, companies such as Enel Green Power, Iberdrola, OPDEnergy, Statkraft and Grenergy stand out as key players.
August 25, 2025A Wood Mackenzie report warns that European refineries could become the initial driving force for green hydrogen: they have already invested over US$5 billion, supported by RED III, although high costs and slow regulatory adoption are still hindering expansion.
August 22, 2025AEGE’s managing director, Pedro González, analyses the impact of the validation of the 80% discount on grid levies until July and stresses that only a wider deployment of renewable energy, decoupled from gas and CO2, will allow the recovery of competitiveness for industry.
