2026 won’t be about more solar.

It’ll be about what solar is paired with.

According to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), global renewable capacity grew ~14% YoY, with solar responsible for ~75% of new additions. Utility-scale solar is now ~90% cheaper than fossil alternatives in most markets.

But here’s the catch 👇
Cheap solar without flexibility breaks grids.

That’s why storage is the real story.

SolarPower Europe projects European battery storage capacity to grow by up to 10x by 2030, with 2026 shaping up as the inflection year where:

- Solar + BESS becomes the default design
- Merchant exposure increases
- Curtailment and negative prices force smarter sizing
- Software, forecasting, and dispatch finally matter commercially

On Soliverse, this keeps coming up with developers, EPCs, and investors:

2026 is when the market stops asking if storage is needed — and starts arguing how much and where.

The winners won’t be the lowest-cost EPCs.

They’ll be the teams who understand systems, not assets.

🤔 What do you think the biggest moment for solar will be in 2026?

Grid access is now worth more than Megawatts.

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund signed SPAs for Cockenzie (240MW) and Monet’s Garden (57MW), and completed Monet’s Garden plus Elland 2 (100MW).

The signal is clear: 
in UK storage, the scarce asset is a protected connection offer, not a bigger pipeline.

That’s why Cockenzie being conditional on an acceptable Gate 2 offer is the whole story.

Phase 1 Gate 2 access, combined with adjacent-site scaling, is what makes projects financeable and buildable.

Most BESS MW will stay stuck in the queue. Gate 2-backed MW will get built.

At Enerdatics, we’re seeing the market reprice certainty over capacity. 

If you’re active in UK storage development or capital, let’s connect and compare what you’re seeing.

2026 is here!!!

And it already feels different.

More builders in the room.

Last year was about building momentum and navigating turbulent waters. 
This year is about compounding and execution. 

What I’m excited about in 2026 👇

• Better conversations across solar, storage, grids, and flexibility
• More renewables transactions and better understanding thereof
• Less hype — more hands on experience/knowledge being shared
• More cross-pollination between EPCs, developers, TSO's and DSO's and industry players
• And yes — better episodes, deeper dives and great line-up on Soliverse 🎙️

Solar doesn’t need saving.
It needs coordination.

Storage doesn’t need explaining.
It needs proper use cases.

Software doesn’t need buzzwords.
It needs to disappear into workflows and get work done. 

That’s the bar for this year.

If you’re building something interesting in solar, storage, grids, or energy software —
👉 comment “Soliverse” or DM me.
I’m preparing conversations for Q1 and always looking for great people to talk to.

Let’s make 2026 the year where:
less is said,
more is delivered!

Happy New Year ⚡️
Let’s get to work.

Grid-ready portfolios are now the fundable asset.

Taaleri Energia closed SolarWind III at €630m, nearly 2x the size of its predecessor.

What stands out isn’t the fundraise. It’s where the capital is already deployed.
Most commitments are into late-stage and under-construction wind, solar, and BESS across Europe and Texas.

That signals a clear shift: value has moved from raw pipeline scale to execution certainty.
Grid access, permits, and build-readiness are what unlock capital today, not headline GW numbers.

Funds that can consistently move projects from paper to steel will keep absorbing disproportionate capital.

Enerdatics is hosting a webinar on
⏰ 22nd January ⏰
on how these market signals are likely to shape 2026.

#MandA #renewables #webinar

Renewable M&A in 2025 didn’t slow down — it recalibrated.

Capital is still available, but it is far more selective.
Across Europe and the Middle East, we’re seeing the same pattern repeat:

• Fewer deals, deeper diligence
• Execution readiness priced explicitly
• Grid, permitting, and delivery risk driving valuation
• Platforms and portfolios outperforming single assets

For developers, investors, and EPCs, the message is consistent:
value is created by reducing risk early, not by adding scale later.

The carousel below breaks down what this means in practice — by role and by region — based on insights from the Enerdatics 2025 Annual Renewable M&A Report.

🤔 Renewable Energy M&A in 2026: Where is Europe’s momentum heading ⁉️ 

Mohit Kaul and Kshitij N R are hosting a webinar on 22 January to discuss the outlook for renewable energy M&A in 2026 and where deal activity is concentrating across Europe.

With ~$33B of 🇪🇺 renewable deals closed in 2025, the market stayed active, but the key question now is which countries and subsectors are emerging as the next hotspots and where investor appetite is building.

We’ll share what drove European M&A in 2025 and how the market is positioning for 2026.

Register via the link in the comments 🔻 🔻🔻

PS: We’ll share the recording plus a short post-webinar note with key takeaways.

#webinar #renewables #MandA #2026 #Enerdatics

Last week, ERG closed two onshore wind deals.
Same day. Two different countries. Two very different economics.⚡️

• Bought 73 MW operational onshore wind in the UK at ~$1.49m/MW
• Sold 62 MW operational onshore wind in Sweden at ~$1.11m/MW

Most databases will log that and move on.

We didn’t — because once you unpack it, this looks less like coincidence and more like intent.

What sits beneath the headlines:

UK assets are simply pricing better.
The UK portfolio generated ~€20.1m LTM EBITDA, backed by a stacked revenue profile:

Scheme-backed revenues (e.g. ROC)
PPAs with counterparties like Statkraft and Vattenfall

That blend can push realised revenues close to €100/MWh.

Sweden looks even more interesting.
The divested Swedish asset delivered ~€6.1m LTM EBITDA.
Revenue support appears largely PPA-led, with market intelligence pointing to tariffs around €35/MWh.

And this isn’t a one-off.

ERG’s earlier UK acquisition — Broken Cross (43.2 MW, Dec 2024) — was also operational and backed by CfD + PPA. Same playbook. Same direction of travel.

So what’s the real takeaway?🧠

Deal headlines tell you what happened.
Economics tell you why.

That’s the gap Enerdatics focuses on — digging past press releases to surface:

Revenue structure
Realised pricing
Cross-market capital signals

If you’re active in European renewables, this is the difference between tracking deals and actually understanding them.

🇪🇺European solar is entering a more complex phase.

The technology is proven.
Capital is (relatively) available.
Policy targets are clear.

Yet returns are under pressure, grids are increasingly constrained, and adding capacity alone is no longer enough.

A few shifts worth watching:

• Southern Europe continues to lead on utility-scale solar, but only where permitting speed outweighs curtailment risk
• Northern Europe is reframing solar as a system asset — storage, flexibility, and grid services are now central
• Developers are moving from single-project thinking to portfolio optimisation
• Software is moving earlier in the lifecycle — before land, before grid, before capex is committed
• The real bottleneck is no longer hardware or funding
It’s grid insight and execution capability

My view:

The next wave of European solar leaders won’t be defined by build speed alone.

They’ll be defined by how well they integrate generation, storage, data, and market access.

Any trends I missed?

#Solar #Europe #EnergyTransition #BESS #PowerMarkets #Soliverse

Just watched the Elon Musk + Larry Fink conversation from Davos.

What stood out wasn’t AI and chips.
It was ENERGY!!! ⚡⚡⚡

We’re scaling AI and robotics fast. Really fast.
Electricity generation isn’t keeping up.

That mismatch matters.

You can build all the chips you want, but if you can’t power them, progress stalls.

Elon said:
Solar, paired with batteries, is the fastest way out of this problem.

☀️ Solar is abundant. Especially in space. 🛰️ 
No fuel. No tariffs. No decade-long build cycles.

Add storage and suddenly power shows up when you need it, not just when the sun shines.
Grids get more balances. Rollout speeds up. Planning is based on engineering.

He mentioned the familiar idea that a roughly 100×100 mile area of solar could theoretically power the U.S.

That numbers aside, the direction is clear.

If we’re serious about AI-driven growth, electrification, and higher living standards, energy can’t be an afterthought.

From my perspective — working with developers, EPCs, storage teams and asset owners— this shift is already underway.

Solar + batteries isn’t a climate talking point anymore.
It’s infrastructural backbone of the economy.

🤔 Why aren't we finally recognising and treating energy as the real bottleneck?🤔

Hybridisation is now a requirement, not an option, in solar underwriting.

The 2026 outlook for solar has shifted materially.
Solar paired with battery storage is moving from a value-add to a baseline assumption.

🇩🇪 Germany is already showing why.
Under the updated EEG framework, generators are not remunerated during negative price hours.
That fundamentally changes project economics.

The message is clear:
Value is moving from pure generation to controllability.

Standalone solar exposes projects to price cannibalisation and curtailment risk.
Solar combined with BESS allows developers to protect capture prices, stabilise cash flows, and improve bankability.

Storage is no longer about optional upside.
It is about preserving revenue quality.

If you are underwriting, financing, or developing German solar projects and want to understand how this is already showing up in capture prices, debt sizing, and IRRs, send me a DM.

I’m sharing real market data and deal-level benchmarks.

This is what we are ALL working for!

Let's make 2026 the biggest for renewables! 🚀 ☀️ 

#solar #renewables

🌿 #Renewables make #history – every single year, month, and day! 📅✨

1️⃣🌍 In 2026, renewables will globally overtake coal as the No. 1 electricity supply! ⚡🏆 (Source: IEA)

2️⃣🔌 As our world is becoming almost fully electrified, renewables will take over the whole energy sector in the coming years. 💚📈

3️⃣🇪🇺 In the EU, solar alone even overtook coal in 2025! ☀️⬆️🔥 (Source: FhG ISE)

4️⃣⏩ From 2045 on, 100TW of PV will be installed, supplying 70% of total primary energy demand. ☀️☀️🔋💯 Costs? 1-2ct/kWh!! 💪

🇬🇧 UK renewables M&A: still Europe’s busiest playground.

2025 confirmed what most of us already felt on the ground.
The UK stayed at the top of the European deal table.

Capital kept flowing into:

Onshore wind
Solar PV
Utility-scale BESS

Real transactions. Real appetite.

Looking into 2026, the conversation is shifting.

It’s no longer just what you build.
It’s pricing discipline, grid reality, and clear routes to market that will decide which assets clear and which ones stall.

Grid access, revenue stack quality, and asset flexibility are starting to separate winners from “almost” projects.

Solar just got upgraded in Europe! 🚀 

Last week the European Commission published a draft revision of the EU Cybersecurity Act — giving the Commission stronger legal power to identify and mandate mitigation of cyber risks across the energy system. 

This is rooted in the SolarPower Europe + DNV report Solutions for PV Cyber Risks to Grid Stability, which highlights: 
millions of small PV systems, when aggregated, behave like virtual power plants — and that creates systemic cyber risk if inverters are compromised. 

Key points from the report:

• A targeted compromise of ~3 GW of inverter-controlled capacity could meaningfully impact grid stability. 
• More than a dozen inverter manufacturers already control well over that threshold. 
• Of 14 risk areas evaluated, several are high or critical. 

The reality:
The EU is now looking at common cybersecurity standards for energy tech, tighter controls on remote inverter access, and keeping inverter control within trusted jurisdictions. 

This shift will start shaping how projects are designed, financed, and connected in 2026 and beyond.
