European solar generation reached a new quarterly record this spring. Greater output is increasing negative prices, curtailment pressure, and flexibility requirements.
-
KNIPEX has packaged photovoltaic connection tools around repeatable cable preparation. The case combines calibrated crimping, stripping, cutting, and MC4 assembly equipment.
-
Fluke’s connected instruments are streamlining high-voltage commercial solar maintenance workflows. AR Power is using simultaneous voltage and current measurement to reduce manual recording and accelerate diagnostics.
-
Enfinity has moved 535MW of Italian solar capacity into operation. Eighteen plants now form a platform expected to generate almost one terawatt-hour annually.
-
Denmark’s solar parks are becoming flexible assets through battery storage. European Energy has connected 38MW and 152MWh across two co-located projects.
-
A 49.9MW Barnsley solar scheme is recommended for planning approval. Revised plans reduce the site area, panel count, and visual impact.
-
Three Scottish industrial sites have completed fully funded rooftop solar. The combined 1.8MWp portfolio is expected to generate 1.39GWh annually.
-
Electricity distributed across Iberdrola’s networks rose strongly during first-half 2026. UK volumes increased following higher demand and Electricity North West’s integration.
-
A French wind tender has selected a 22MW four-turbine project. The development secured environmental approval after a 15-month consent process.
-
Austria’s largest green hydrogen plant has secured substantial European financing. A 140MW electrolyser will supply renewable hydrogen to the Schwechat refinery from 2027.
