ENTSO-E’s verdict exposes Europe’s lagging voltage control architecture. Iberia’s outage was triggered by overvoltage, but the deeper failure lay in weak reactive-power discipline, soft plant obligations, and tools built for a slower grid.
-
RES has expanded its European services footprint with Nala Renewables. The 217 MW mandate covers operational solar and battery assets in Lithuania, Belgium, and Greece, underscoring rising demand for integrated asset management as multi-market portfolios scale.
-
Irish solar has secured fresh EIB-backed financing for large-scale buildout. A €100 million loan to Dolmen Solar underpins a 395MWp four-project portfolio being developed by Power Capital Renewable Energy.
-
Muir Mhòr has awarded scholarships to Scotland’s next wind specialists. The latest University of Strathclyde awards extend a skills pipeline tied to one of Scotland’s most advanced floating offshore wind developments.
