At some point in the early 2010s, the European Union was leading on climate change action. These days, with China installing huge quantities of solar panels and producing and selling electric cars at an unprecendented rate, it’s harder to compete on these fronts. Meanwhile, the United States have launched last year the IRA (“Inflation Reduction Act “) with 369 billion dollars allocated to the energy transition… So could the European Union lead again on slashing its greenh

Building energy infrastructure is a tricky business. Private entities have limited resources, and the payoff is often too distant. But there’s pressure on companies to meet their net-zero goals — requiring more grid space or grid miles.
