Denmark and Germany Launch Europe’s First Hydrogen Superhighway

Denmark and Germany are launching Europe's first hydrogen superhighway to support decarbonization of steel, chemicals, shipping, and aviation. The initiative addresses hydrogen's credibility challenge by moving beyond inflated expectations to implement practical infrastructure, though the project faces ongoing cost and financing hurdles.

For the past few years, hydrogen has suffered from a credibility problem. Not because the technology itself stopped making sense, but because expectations ran too far ahead of reality. Governments announced hydrogen strategies worth hundreds of billions of euros. Companies unveiled ambitious projects stretching from Portugal to Poland. Analysts forecast a future hydrogen economy that would decarbonize everything from steel and chemicals to shipping and aviation. Then came the inevitable correction. Costs remained higher than expected. Financing…

Australian grid operator announces curtailment drill for rooftop PV

South Australia’s grid operator will complete its annual test of its ability to temporarily curtail rooftop solar generation on August 25. Solar systems in the state will be curtailed for up to one hour, expected to cause the loss of around 1.5 kWh of generation per installation.

The summer solar carried the water

Europe’s hydro fleet produced less power in the summer of 2026 than it did in the drought summer of 2022, and reservoir stocks finished the period 7.7% below their eleven-year median with France under its historical floor. Over those same four years solar generation across the affected systems rose by 39 TWh. That surplus is now visibly reorganizing the rest of the fleet: reservoir hydro has withdrawn from the middle of the day, and pumped storage has moved its charging window from the pre-dawn hours into the middle of the day, with the peak charging hour shifting from around 04:00 to between 13:00 and 14:00, and the correlation between hourly solar output and hourly pumping rising from zero to 0.86 in six summers.
