Engie Romania added a hybrid power plant to the transmission grid. The 56.8 MW facility consists of wind turbines and a solar power unit. The energy landscape in Romania is rapidly changing as the government and investors are intensifying the energy transition.
[pdf] With 65.5 GW of new solar in 2024, the sector just inched past its 2023 record of 62.8 GW. Despite the slide, solar PV still installed more than all other power technologies combined in 2024, bringing the EU’s operating solar power fleet to 338 GW. The slowdown is not too surprising.
[pdf] National frameworks such as Saudi Vision 2030, the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, and Qatar’s National Development Framework emphasize the integration of decentralized solar, wind, and hybrid microgrid systems to reduce dependence on conventional fossil-fuel plants and enhance grid resilience.
