Eurelectric reports that, in the first half of the year, renewable energy accounted for more than half of Europe's power supply.

Europe’s main barrier to decarbonising its power supply by 2045 is its aging grid infrastructure, 40% of which is over 40 years old, according to a new report by European electricity industry body Eurelectric.

Solar PV plants across the European Union could be subject to a temporary revenue cap under new proposals aimed at helping energy consumers reduce their bills. 

A proposed law in Spain aimed at clawing back revenues from emissions-free power plants would create risks for renewables investors and favour fossil fuel-fired generation, according to trade groups that have urged the European Union (EU) to intervene.

A new policy in Italy that claws back the profits of solar PV projects will undermine investor confidence and jeopardise the European Union’s clean energy transition, a group of trade associations, including SolarPower Europe, has warned.
