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

Romania emerges as Europe’s fastest-growing solar market despite EU-wide slowdown

Romania has emerged as one of Europe’s most dynamic solar markets in 2025, recording a sharp acceleration in photovoltaic deployment over the course of the year. Around 2.5 GW of new solar capacity has been added, representing an increase of nearly 50% compared to last year’s installations. This expansion alone accounts for roughly one third

Serbia 2030: A manufacturing hub powered by wind, solar and engineering talent — or an energy-expensive periphery?

By 2030, Serbia will be defined by the decisions it makes today about electricity, industrial policy and renewable energy. Two futures exist in parallel. In the first, Serbia becomes the leading nearshore manufacturing hub for Central and Western Europe, powered by renewable electricity, robust engineering talent and advanced fabrication capabilities. In the second, Serbia fails

The industrial PPA revolution: Will long-term wind and solar contracts become mandatory for Serbia’s exporters by 2030?

Europe’s industrial landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation: decarbonisation is no longer a voluntary exercise, and renewable electricity sourcing has become a procurement prerequisite. Serbia, as a major nearshoring destination, must align with this shift. As serbia-business.eu and serbia-energy.eu both highlight, European manufacturers increasingly require their suppliers to prove renewable electricity usage through long-term PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) or
