Is Europe's heatwave bad news for renewables? Surge in solar turns power prices negative
Soaring temperatures can actually hinder some kinds of renewable energy output, even sun-absorbing solar. Europe has been baking amid its first major heatwave of the season, with the UK and France experiencing record May temperatures. Sunny skies have caused a surge in solar power output, resulting in negative electricity prices in some parts of Europe - where the wholesale market of electricity dips below zero due to supply outstripping demand.
EU wants African sunlight to power Europe’s electric revolution
BRUSSELS — The European Union is betting that the future of its energy system lies under the North African sun. On Tuesday, the European Commission pledged €5 billion of EU money to renewables projects in North Africa and the Middle East, which could feed electricity back into Europe’s grid. The dream is that solar panels in the sun-soaked Sahara Desert and wind turbines along the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean generate electricity that is then sent through high-voltage...
How solar has saved Europe €136 million per day since the start of the Iran war
A new analysis found that Europe’s existing solar fleet has already saved the continent billions in 2026. Solar is helping to rescue Europe from the crippling costs of fossil fuel imports, as the war on Iran continues to keep oil and gas prices sky-high. Brent crude, which is used as the worldwide benchmark for oil prices, remains particularly volatile due to Iran's stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage which usually carries around one-fifth of global oil supplies.
Plug-in solar is soaring across Europe – but is it better than traditional rooftop panels?
Solar is helping rescue Europeans from the soaring cost of fossil fuels, but experts warn that energy bills may still increase due to the ‘rebound’ effect. Solar has been described as a “shining star” in Europe’s clean energy transition, cushioning households from volatile fossil fuel shocks. Amid the war on Iran, which has sent oil and gas prices skyrocketing, Europeans have been scrambling to gain energy independence.
Europe's energy problem isn't green power — it's storage
Solar and wind produce lots of energy — but not always at the right time. More battery storage could help Europe to stabilize prices and replace polluting fossil fuel energy, but roadblocks remain.
Why the EU sees Chinese solar tech as a major security risk
Europe's solar boom is powered by Chinese technology. But experts warn Chinese-made tech could threaten the continent's safety and even create blackouts. Now, Brussels is aiming to reduce its dependence.
Solar Energy Saves Europeans $135M a Day
Solar Energy Saves Europeans $135 Million A Day Support CleanTechnica's work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. You would think the fighting in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be sending the price of oil and methane for power plants in Europe soaring, and cause the price people and businesses pay for electricity to increase. You would be right, except for one thing.
Rare 'cannibal' solar storm to spark Northern Lights spectacle in UK
Rare 'cannibal' solar storm to spark Northern Lights spectacle in UK A rare 'cannibal' solar storm is set to hit Earth and could result in a spectacular Northern Lights display across the UK - here's everything you need to know about the aurora borealis phenomenon Stargazers could be treated to a breathtaking display of the Northern Lights as a powerful solar storm barrels towards Earth, pushing auroras into regions that seldom get to witness them. Scientists say the dazzling spectacle could...
'Cannibal' CME from rare 'anti-Hale' sunspot will slam into Earth today, bringing auroras to 23 US states
'Cannibal' CME from rare 'anti-Hale' sunspot will slam into Earth today, bringing auroras to 23 US states Northern lights are projected across the Northern U.S. and Europe tonight as Earth gets hit by a strong solar eruption. A "cannibal" coronal mass ejection (CME) birthed from a rare type of sunspot will slam into Earth tonight (June 4), likely bringing auroras to skies above 23 U.S. states. The solar outburst began on June 2 from sunspot 4455, a dark patch on the sun's surface where...
Sun erupts with 3 colossal solar flares in less than 24 hours, boosting chances for northern lights
Sun erupts with 3 colossal solar flares in less than 24 hours, boosting chances for northern lights A trio of major solar flares triggered radio blackouts across Earth and may spark impressive northern lights as possible solar storms head our way. Wow, the sun is certainly putting on quite a show this week. Our star just unleashed three powerful solar flares in less than 24 hours and potentially sending multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) hurtling toward Earth, raising the chances of...
