The country faces a surge in curtailments that could exceed 1.7 TWh in 2025, jeopardizing the economic viability of its renewable energy projects. Speaking to Strategic Energy Europe, Mr. Christos P. Gkikas warns that without storage, the financial impact will be severe and emphasizes that the only way to mitigate that risk is to facilitate the installation of large-scale BESS systems.
The Belgian company, the only solar panel manufacturer certified as a B Corp in Europe, is moving forward with an international expansion strategy and is committed to European industrialization in the face of “unfair competition” from Asian products.
The volatility of the European electricity market, intensified by renewable overcapacity and trade tensions between China and the United States, is prompting developers and investors to adopt risk hedging strategies to sustain the profitability of their assets.
According to a survey by Strategic Energy Europe based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MASE), 2.4 GW of renewable energy projects were processed in Italy in the first three months of 2025. Wind and agrivoltaic technologies lead the portfolio, with significant growth in projects with storage.
This is an important initiative, as for the first time our country sets the rules for the organization of the marine space. The MSP takes into account the interactions between land and sea activities and emphasizes the consultation and co-formulation of priorities per region, through the establishment of Marine Spatial Planning Frameworks.
“Product selection must be handled carefully, considering price sensitivity and local regulations,” states Bernardo Luis, CEO of DPV Energy, in an interview with Strategic Energy Europe.
In a context of volatile prices and limited energy stability, solar communities are emerging as an increasingly attractive self-consumption solution for businesses. However, regulatory constraints and a penetration rate below 1% are limiting their deployment across Spain.
As part of preparations for Easter, the Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy brought together key stakeholders in the electricity system to monitor the implementation of production limitation measures at renewable and cogeneration plants. According to preliminary data, producer compliance reached 89%.
Joao Costeira, of Repsol; Carlos Relancio, of Galp; and Carolina Nester, of Sonnedix, will lead panels at FES Iberia 2025, to be held on June 24 in Madrid. The summit, which will bring together more than 400 executives, will also feature important partners such as Wattkraft, 360 Energy, Risen, Chemik, Yingli, and BLC Power Generation.
These national grants will subsidize projects in Spanish territory preselected in the second auction as a service that were left out when the community budget was exhausted.
The agreement warns that more than 20% of current projects in Europe are at risk of cancellation or delay. Industry experts explain that achieving the goals will depend on expanding projects, investing in larger and more efficient turbines, optimizing processes, and adopting energy storage as a strategic pillar.
Emilio Nieto, Director of the National Hydrogen Centre of Spain, underscores that the Clean Industrial Deal introduces compatibility between funding mechanisms and opens access to projects that previously failed to meet the necessary criteria, delivering a decisive boost to Spain’s industrial decarbonisation efforts. “If the Innovation Fund covers 40% of the project, and the Clean Industrial Deal provides another 40% of the remainder, the developer only needs to assume 20% of the total cost,” he explains.
Aurora Energy Research highlights that renewable auctions in Portugal have primarily served as a mechanism for securing grid access, rather than offering immediate project profitability. This rationale remains relevant in upcoming tenders involving storage, hybrid systems, and green hydrogen as part of a broader national energy strategy.
In a conversation with the European Commissioner for Climate Action, Greek Minister of Environment and Energy Stavros Papastavros stressed that the new emission reduction targets must be realistic and enjoy political and social support. Greece reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement and EU objectives.
The solar manufacturer will attend the Madrid summit to strengthen its positioning in a context marked by growing uncertainty in the solar market. The company aims to reconnect with active developers and anticipate trends in pricing, technology, and industry consolidation.
The firm reaches 62,577 GWh distributed in the first three months of 2025 and registers growth in all regions where it develops its electricity grid activity. Europe’s leading electricity company in terms of market capitalization has a renewable energy capacity of over 44,600 MW and consolidates its position as one of the companies most committed to energy independence and security of supply.
The European wind industry has committed to reducing LCOE by 30% by 2040, aiming to deploy 100 GW through CfD contracts and ensure 15 GW of new capacity annually. Spain and Portugal, with a combined potential of over 30 GW, are key to achieving these targets — but remain stuck.
The company’s latest certification reinforces its commitment to Spanish sustainability regulations for photovoltaic projects.
By the end of 2024, Croatia had reached 3.8 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, with solar energy doubling its figures in one year. By 2025, photovoltaic power is expected to exceed 1 GW. However, structural and legal challenges remain, hindering the sector’s momentum. The ZEZ cooperative warns of a lack of public trust, outdated infrastructure, and an inconsistent regulatory framework.
The Spanish autonomous community is strengthening its leadership as an energy hub, focusing on storage, green hydrogen, and competitive renewables, attracting technological and productive investments that are transforming the region’s industrial profile.

In the third week of September, most of the main European electricity markets registered decreases in their weekly prices, which in many cases fell below €60/MWh, favored by the increase in solar energy production, the recovery of wind energy in Germany and Italy, and the slight decline in gas prices. However, Spain, Portugal, and France bucked the trend with increases, while Italy remained above €100/MWh for most of the week.
Renewable energy sources grew the most: 6.2% in the primary energy matrix and 11.9% in electricity. MITECO’s official energy statistics include the country’s self-consumption capacity for the first time, which reached 8,256 MW by the end of 2024. The weight of natural gas and coal in the national energy mix has decreased, and for the third consecutive year there is an export-oriented electricity balance.
At the Global Renewables Summit in New York, Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that Europe already generates 50% of its electricity from clean sources. The EU will allocate €300 billion until 2027 for global energy transition projects.
