Europe’s clean energy buildout is being choked at the grid. (European Times)
A new report finds 1,700 GW of renewable projects are stuck in Europe’s interconnection queues—more than triple what’s needed to hit the EU’s 2030 climate targets. Last year alone, grid limits forced $8.3B worth of clean generation offline across seven countries.
Why it matters: Europe is building renewables faster than its transmission system can absorb, leaving projects stranded and climate goals at risk unless grid planning is rapidly expanded and modernized.
