UK's AR7 fallout, Germany's gas win, Poland's bet on merchant onshore wind

In this episode of Energy Transition Today, Leonard and Maja start with the fallout from the UK’s AR7 offshore wind auction, looking at record awarded volumes alongside cancelled projects and growing strain on the development pipeline. 

They then turn to Poland, where RP Global is progressing a highly leveraged, largely merchant onshore wind project, highlighting rising lender confidence in Central and Eastern Europe. 

The focus moves to the Netherlands and its decision to introduce a temporary one sided CfD to relaunch a 1GW offshore tender and rebuild investor appetite. 

The episode also examines Germany’s newly approved gas capacity programme and what it means for system security, before closing with the surge in battery storage investment, including major equity and debt financings for terralayr in Germany and Greenvolt’s grid scale project in Hungary.
