Although uncertainty about the causes persists, sector experts are calling for greater inertia, flexibility and faster system services to safeguard the grid.

As Europe accelerates its transition to renewable energy, a new player is emerging with a bold vision and a unique European footprint. Maxxen Energy, a company born from Swiss precision, European quality, and the Turkish industrial edge, is redefining what it means to manufacture energy storage solutions — close to the market, built for performance, and engineered for resilience.
The Valdezorita solar project, one of the largest ever developed by ABO Energy, illustrates how bilateral PPAs can secure long-term financing. In an interview with Strategic Energy Europe, Ingo Burdack-Debes discusses regulatory challenges and the progress of the company’s storage strategy in key markets like Germany and Spain.
The Commission’s assessment shows that the EU is currently on course to reduce net GHG emissions by around 54% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, if Member States implement fully existing and planned national measures and EU policies. In the current geopolitical context, this demonstrates that the EU is staying the course on its climate commitments, investing with determination in the clean energy transition and prioritising the EU’s industrial competitiveness and the social dimension.
Marketing for the International Electrification and Decarbonization Week is moving forward strongly with more than 700 companies confirmed.
Julio Castro (Iberdrola Renovables), David Ruiz (Grenergy), Enrique Riquelme (Cox Energy), Rocío Sicre (EDP Renewables), Alejandro Ramos (Schletter), Carlos Píñar Celestino (Elmya), Fernando Cremades (Galp), Carolina Nester (Sonnedix) and Lucía Dólera (Jinko Solar) will take part in FES Iberia 2025, to be held on June 24 in Madrid. Over 400 senior energy executives will gather to discuss how to move towards a more secure, flexible and resilient energy system.
The Council of Ministers has approved the draft bill transposing European Directive 2022/2557. The new regulation will directly affect energy companies and other strategic sectors, imposing new obligations with limited opportunity for public debate.
During the second annual event by Strategic Energy Corp, SMA Solar presented its vision for the technologies that will underpin the stability of Europe’s electrical system. Its flagship project in Scotland and a new generation of inverters reflect a clear commitment to robust and sustainable solutions.
At the Strategic Energy Europe forum, Emilio Blanco González, Consultancy Manager at Sólida, analysed the regulatory, technical and economic constraints facing renewable energy projects across the continent. “Capture prices are very low, but we continue to see hybrid developments and repowering,” he states.
The electricity sector and the public still lack an official, detailed explanation of what happened.
The European Data Centre Association drives the sector’s energy transition with an ambitious target: achieving 100% renewable energy consumption by 2030. “Our members currently operate on 94% renewable energy. 12% of that comes from PPAs, and the rest is sourced renewables or through carbon offsets,” notes the Secretary General.
In a context where curtailment can reach up to 70%, 3E is deploying advanced digital twin and machine learning solutions to optimize asset performance and protect long-term value. The company is accelerating its global expansion, aiming to reshape profitability in the renewable energy sector.
During the second edition of the Storage, Renewable and Electric Vehicles Integration Forum, Benjamín Reynal, Director of Operational Coordination for the Northern Hemisphere at 360Energy, confirmed that storage will be central to all new renewable energy projects. He also highlighted the strategic role of hybridisation, particularly within the framework of the company’s partnership with Stellantis.
Isemaren outlines how the integration of advanced regulation and control systems is essential to meet the new technical and regulatory requirements for battery storage.
Minister Pichetto: “The ecological transition, if guided with vision and pragmatism, can combine environmental sustainability, economic development, and energy security.”
Of the 28 authorisations granted to Red Eléctrica so far in 2025, 12 were issued this month alone, -immediately following the blackout- while the monthly average in 2024 barely exceeded six resolutions.
In an exclusive interview at Intersolar 2025, GoodWe’s Territority Manager UK & Ireland, highlights the company’s strategic focus on comprehensive storage solutions and its latest product launches, including high-voltage batteries, hybrid inverters, and all-in-one residential systems, to meet the growing demand across all market sectors in the UK.
In April 2025, 22 PPAs were signed for a total of 1,446 MW, 7% less than the previous month. For the first time in years, utility companies surpassed corporates in contract volume. In this context, the European Union and the EIB are activating new guarantees to boost a still fragmented market, according to the latest report from Pexapark.
The new delegated regulation amends the Annex to the Net-Zero Industry Act to incorporate an updated list of specific end products and components considered essential in clean technologies. The measure is based on a rigorous technical assessment and aims to strengthen supply chains in the European Union.
The European Commission adopted Secondary Legislation to the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), which establishes criteria for rewarding sustainability and resilience in renewable energy auctions. “We expect to see the first auctions in 2026 and are calling for premiums to be applied to solar panels manufactured in Europe, because there is no time to waste,” warns SolarPower Europe.
The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has approved ten renewable energy generation initiatives totalling 780.16 MW, with a strong focus on photovoltaic technology.
