Denmark generates more than 80 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources. Its wind farms, both onshore and offshore, have made the country a global model for clean energy transition. Its grid operator, Energinet, has spent decades building the infrastructure to support a decarbonised power system. In March, Energinet paused all new grid […]
The European Commission has formally recommended that member states keep Huawei and ZTE out of their connectivity infrastructure. The same restrictions are now moving toward becoming legally binding.
