French and German wind auctions awarded more than three gigawatts. Heavy oversubscription strengthened the development pipeline and lowered support prices, while increasing pressure on turbine supply, project finance, network connections, specialist labour, and construction delivery.
-
Excel Energy and Sigenergy are expanding commercial battery deployment together. Their partnership combines solar installation, storage hardware, and energy-management capability.
-
RWE will quadruple output at its Rethen-Vordorf wind farm site. Three existing turbines will be replaced by three higher-capacity machines.
-
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.
