The EU has enacted a new methane restriction, but it should be strengthened, argues Esther Bollendorff, Senior Gas Policy Coordinator, Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe.

Plugged in balconies: how micro-PV devices bring green power into European flats

As the renewable energy transition progresses, new technology is quickly enabling an additional demographic of energy consumers to take part in the decarbonisation of electricity production, like those living in urban apartment spaces. European countries such as Germany, Austria and France are already seeing substantial growth in the installation of plug-in solar devices fitted to balconies, garages and sheds. Karolin Schaps assesses whether this is just a fad or symptomatic of a growing trend in Europe’s energy transition.
