Europe’s variable power system: How wind, solar and nuclear reshaped electricity flows from the EU core to southeast Europe

For most of the past half-century, Europe’s electricity system could be understood through a relatively simple lens. Power was generated close to where it was consumed, national systems were planned around predictable baseload plants, and cross-border flows played a supporting role rather than defining market outcomes. Electricity prices reflected domestic generation costs, demand patterns were

Hungary adds over 1 GW of solar in 2025, launches major energy storage support programs

According to the Energy Ministry, Hungary added just over 1,030 MW of new solar generation capacity in 2025 by early December, continuing a streak of annual growth above the 1 GW mark. Since first crossing that threshold in 2022, the country has consistently expanded its solar fleet at a similar pace each year. The total

Europe: EU renewable energy hits nearly 50% of electricity production as solar and wind lead growth

Nearly half of the electricity produced across the European Union now comes from renewable sources, marking another step forward in the bloc’s energy transition. During the third quarter of 2025, clean energy accounted for 49.3% of net electricity generation, improving on the 47.5% recorded in the same period last year, according to Eurostat data. The

When one country builds solar, everyone pays: The spillover effect across SEE

Solar power has become the most misunderstood structural force in the South-East Europe electricity market. It is still discussed primarily as a national policy success — installed capacity, renewable targets, cheaper power, decarbonisation progress. In reality, once solar reaches meaningful scale inside a coupled regional grid, it stops behaving as a national asset altogether. It
