Rezolv Energy secures €561 million financing for the EU’s largest onshore renewable energy project

This financing confirms that large onshore renewables in Europe are still attracting major capital, even as project scale and grid integration needs rise. For Rezolv Energy, the deal should help move a flagship asset toward construction and strengthen the case for utility-scale wind and solar as bankable infrastructure.

Business Review

UK govt creates publicly owned Great British Grid

The UK government is moving to create a publicly owned grid entity, which signals a stronger state role in transmission planning and delivery. For renewable developers and investors, the key issue is whether a centralized grid owner can speed connections and reduce one of the main bottlenecks holding back new wind and solar buildout.
