More than €100 billion of renewables are stuck in Europe’s outdated energy grid, as communities across the continent wait years for solar panels and heat pumps.
A new report by consulting group AFRY, commissioned by non-profit Beyond Fossil Fuels, found that a staggering 375 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy projects and 455 GW of battery storage projects are trapped in distribution grid queues across the continent.
