Mediterranean Renewables Face Grid Bottlenecks
Coverage from Euronews, Yahoo News UK, and others
The Mediterranean has 552 GW of utility-scale wind and solar projects announced or under development, with about 361 GW targeted to operate by 2030.
Spain leads prospective solar capacity, while Egypt has a large pipeline that includes projects linked to green hydrogen. Grid and transmission limitations, insufficient storage, financing gaps, and permitting delays could impede delivery, so the pipeline figures should not be read as completed or assured capacity.
