Europe’s Transition to Cheap, Clean Power Hits Roadblocks as Grid Infrastructure Lags
Despite record growth in renewables, Europe’s push for affordable clean energy is stalling due to underinvestment in grid upgrades and system stability technologies.
As solar and wind power capacity hit record highs across Europe between 2022 and 2024, the continent is now facing serious challenges in its clean-energy transition. Aging grid infrastructure and insufficient investment in modern stability measures—such as synchronous condensers and battery storage—have exposed fragilities, with a notable blackout in the Iberian Peninsula in April 2025. Key projects, including major offshore wind developments, have been canceled or delayed due to surging material costs. Experts warn that without a sharp increase in grid investment and consistent policy support, delivering reliable, low-cost renewable energy remains an uncertain promise. Read more.
