Europe’s energy system is undergoing a rapid transformation, giving rise to new applications that are increasingly combining different climate-friendly technologies.

The energy transition has made the European energy supply cheaper and more secure. However, the market value of solar and wind power is under increasing pressure from low electricity prices, complicating financing. 

  The Dream Team: Hybrid Wind and Solar Power Plants Gain Market Share

The industry has an effective solution for this: hybrid power plants. They combine photovoltaics (PV) with wind and sometimes even a battery energy storage system (BESS). This combination offers several advantages, including higher energy yields and capacity due to complimentary generation profiles, stable generation, and efficient use of infrastructure, space and grid connection points. With BESS installed, renewable electricity can be fed into the grid according to price, consumption and grid signals.  Hybrid power plants will be a hot topic at Intersolar Europe. The world’s leading exhibition for the solar industry will take place from June 23–25, 2026, as part of The smarter E Europe at the Messe München.

The Front Cover

Wind farms are known to be particularly exposed during thunderstorms and workers on site are prone to lightning strikes. Thunderstorm warning systems are widely used to prevent lightning related accidents. The article on page 7 outlines how lightning locating systems can provide an early warning. apply safety procedures. (Image courtesy Xavier Delorme,  Stormchaser)
