A new whitepaper finds industrial flexibility could cut EU renewables curtailment by 61 percent and avoid 60 GW of peak capacity, while opening new revenue streams for energy-intensive sectors.

The European Commission's plan targets 46 percent electrification by 2040, with industry groups calling for stronger investment support and an end to double taxation of storage.

After a punishing downturn, Europe's solar market is finding its footing. European Solar’s Gerard Scheper argues the deeper change lies in the industrial and political reset now taking shape around it.

Corporate energy buyers are increasingly choosing hybrid PPAs for their settlement value rather than their price, even as LevelTen Energy's Q2 index shows solar prices recovering on gas-driven wholesale gains.

Meeting EU deployment targets for electric cars, vans and trucks would cut oil imports worth around €12 billion a year, per new analysis by E-Mobility Europe and Ember.

The expert from VW subsidiary Elli explains what bidirectional charging can deliver for the energy and mobility transition, where deployment stands today, and which regulatory hurdles still need clearing in Germany and Europe.

Premium module segments hit new highs in June as back contact and full black extended their runs, while buyer sentiment stayed firmly expansionary despite a slight easing in the PV PMI to 67, according to data from sun.store.

The recent price spike in solar modules and batteries is not a new normal but a market catching its breath, says Gerard Scheper, CEO of European Solar.

Europe's solar fleet has absorbed much of the gas import burden that would otherwise have followed the outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, new SolarPower Europe research finds.

May data from sun.store show a broad price decline across residential battery segments, reversing part of the April increase in the performance category. In the commercial segment, pricing remained broadly stable.

Sun.store data show solar module prices climbing across the European market in May, with the PV Purchasing Managers' Index jumping to 70 – its strongest reading since the start of the year.
