South Africa’s energy regulator just approved 890 MW of new solar PV generation licences in a single decision. It’s a reminder that across every market we work in — Portugal, Spain, the Gulf, sub-Saharan Africa — permitting and licensing is where projects actually get made or lost, long before a PPA or financial close gets…
Portugal has set a firm date — 14 September — for its 1.05 GW energy storage auction, part of a national push to 3 GW of battery capacity by 2030. We look at what a fixed reference price means for developers weighing whether to build, partner, or sell their storage positions, and where we’re seeing…

Download the Study here : Nenuphar Advisors – LCOE_Jul_2025_v1 Natural Gas, Offshore Wind, and Nuclear are not the cheapest. Our July 2025 global LCOE analysis reveals a clear trend: Wind + Storage and Solar + Storage now deliver lower average LCOEs than: Natural Gas (with or without CO₂ pricing) Offshore Wind (even bottom-fixed) Nuclear (long…
Over 7 GW of renewable capacity being connected via Direct Agreements Involving €500 million in grid upgrades, fully financed by project developers, to be completed by 2030, that is an average value of 71,4 kEur/MVA, substantially lower than the initially 100 kEur/MVA predicted. Portugal moves forward with strategic reinforcement of its National Transmission Grid (RNT)…
At 12:33 CET, the Iberian grid faced a sudden defect (cause still under investigation). Immediate trip of a major power plant in Southwest Spain. ⏱ 1.5 seconds later, another key plant disconnected in the same zone. Chain reaction: Massive solar PV disconnections Disconnection from France Cascading system failure → partial blackout. Root Causes: 1 First…
The IMO has just approved the first-ever UN-backed global carbon pricing mechanism for shipping — a historic and transformative step for the industry. We’ve just released a compact Insight Analysis (download here: New_Green_Marine_Fuels_vs1) covering: What this means for methanol and ammonia as marine fuels The real costs of creating artificial green fuel markets Who benefits,…
Why commit to 15+ years, billions over budget, and radioactive risk — when clean baseload power is already here? Let’s compare: Flamanville 3 (France): Started: 2007 Output: 1,650 MW Commissioning: 2025 (17 years later) Final Cost: €19.1B Delay: 12 years Olkiluoto 3 (Finland): Started: 2005 Output: 1,600 MW Commissioning: 2023 Delay: 14 years Final Cost:…
