EU understimating rooftop PV power generation
SolarPower Europe estimates that EU solar generation is significantly underreported, with actual PV output projected at 410 TWh in 2025 versus 275 TWh in official statistics. The group attributes the gap to incomplete rooftop PV registration, data transfer delays, and the difficulty of measuring self-consumed solar electricity.

The Hydrogen Stream: Levelized cost of hydrogen at Mediterranean ports can be as low as €2.5/kg for hybrid systems
A study from the University of Naples Federico II finds hydrogen production at Mediterranean ports could cost €5.7–8.6/kg using only renewables and €2.5–13/kg in hybrid systems, with solar emerging as the most reliable resource and wind outperforming it in select locations. Alongside these findings, major industry developments include new hydrogen and e-fuel projects, advanced electrolyser technologies, and EU-backed infrastructure expansion supporting large-scale decarbonization.
