Solar supplied over one-fifth of EU demand for three months. Germany remained above 30%, while national records strengthened the case for storage and flexible demand.
-
Engie is preparing bids for new European capacity generation tenders. The utility has secured land and begun turbine-supply discussions while advancing 4GW of data centre energy projects.
-
Romania has declared an August emergency after Danube output losses. One nuclear reactor is offline, hydropower is constrained, and the government is arranging water transfers and additional imports.
-
Hungary will fully shut Paks as Danube cooling levels collapse. The unprecedented outage will remove almost half of national electricity supply and force heavier reliance on imports and demand reductions.
-
AVK has appointed new leadership across its critical power services. Andrew Chilcott will oversee standby generation, modular PowerPods, and prime power microgrid support.
-
ScottishPower has awarded five year maintenance contracts across 24 windfarms. Four service providers will support turbine reliability, engineering, logistics, and component refurbishment.

Renewables supplied more than half of UK electricity during 2025. Annual energy statistics record new highs for wind, solar, and total renewable generation.
-
The Netherlands has opened another Doordewind seabed survey competition programme. The work will establish environmental data for two proposed 2GW offshore wind sites.
-
Nordlicht I has received its first transition pieces from Aalborg. The 362 tonne structures are being transported for installation in the German North Sea.
