Mediterranean Solar and Wind Expansion
Coverage from Euronews, Yahoo News UK, and others

The Mediterranean’s solar and wind expansion spans utility-scale projects and operating capacity across countries including Spain, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Morocco, and France.
Regional estimates have identified a substantial pipeline, with projects linked in Egypt in part to green hydrogen. Turning plans into generation depends on modernizing power grids, expanding transmission and interconnection, adding storage, and addressing permitting and financing constraints. Regional coordination can also help connect projects to resilient electricity systems and support industrial decarbonization.
