Czechia: Czech grid data reveal a small share of solar connections drives most
An analysis of 156,000 solar connection applications in the Czech Republic reveals that 93 percent of low-voltage projects required no new grid investment, while a small minority drove nearly all reinforcement spending. This data helps energy professionals understand how connection costs are distributed across the grid and informs strategies for managing network reinforcement budgets.
France: Reflex: Learning New Risks to Connect More Solar Energy, Faster (2/7)
Enedis has generalized the Reflex mechanism to accelerate solar connections by offering capacity that exceeds standard substation sizing in exchange for occasional curtailment. This approach is critical for solar professionals as it addresses grid bottlenecks and provides a framework for managing the trade-off between connection speed and energy injection limits.
Greece: AP: New 2,700 MW Installations in First Nine Months Lack Grid Curtailment - Solar 'Monoculture' Unchecked
New renewable energy installations in Spain reached 2,700 MW in the first nine months of 2026, with solar photovoltaics accounting for nearly 78% of the total capacity. This rapid expansion is outpacing the growth of energy storage, leading to increased grid curtailment and negative prices in the wholesale market.
