Europe Can Unlock 25 GW of Clean Power by Using Existing Grid Connections
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Ember reports Europe could add 25 GW of wind and solar to existing hydropower sites across seven EU countries (Austria, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain) without needing extra grid capacity by using hybridization—combining technologies like wind, solar and storage behind a single grid connection—which could integrate 18% of new renewables expected by 2030.
Only Portugal and Spain currently have specific regulatory rules for hybrid projects; other nations lack clear frameworks, requiring targeted policy reform.
