  • Nuclear Alliance of the EU have published a manifesto, citing that nuclear capacity could climb up to 150GW by 2050, compared to about 100MW now, and has also called for policymakers to implement several energy policies, the document said, cited by WNN.
  • Croatia's energy market operator HROTE has launched its 607MW renewable tender, with the deadline to submit bids set on 27 June, according to the operator.
  • German-based firm RWE together with company Masdar have submitted a development consent order to the UK for their 3GW Dogger Bank South offshore wind farm off east England, according to the firm, cited by Renews.biz.
  • UK-based firm Octopus Energy has outlined a set of suggestions for changing the UK’s grid connection process as the capacity that is currently waiting to be connected has climbed to around 700GW from just over 200GW in April 2023, according to its “End the Gridlock” report.
  • Swedish government has not approved the 700MW Hansa PowerBridge line between Sweden-Germany due to issues with the German power market providing correct price signals to the market actors, the Swedish government said today.
