Greece approved the request of a firm developing a project for a giant solar park with a green hydrogen plant to double the electrolyzer capacity. The site is in the vicinity of the village of Mantasia in the Phthiotis regional unit. The Ministry of Environment and Energy in Athens signed off on a proposed change […]
Bulgaria’s coal regions will receive BGN 1.58 billion (EUR 808 million) through the Just Transition program, under the European Union’s Just Transition Fund (JTF), for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green hydrogen projects, as well as for converting mining areas for commercial use. With a EUR 598 million program already underway, total investments in the […]
Turceni is dependent on the local coal power plant, so the municipal authority is turning to agrivoltaics, energy storage and green hydrogen to replace it. The small town in southwestern Romania is kickstarting a EUR 380 million project. The coal plant in Turceni used to be one of the biggest in Europe, at 2.3 GW. Located […]
Steel pipe manufacturer Corinth Pipeworks has put into operation a 7.1 MW photovoltaic facility on its plant in the Thisvi Industrial Area. It is the largest industrial rooftop PV system in Greece, the company said. A steel pipe factory northwest of Athens will cover an estimated 25% of its electricity needs with its new solar […]
