More than 1 TW of renewable capacity is currently awaiting grid connection across Europe, according to analysis by Aurora Energy Research.

The global power markets analytics provider says permitting times are stretching up to a decade in some European markets, contributing to the growing pipeline. From the 1 TW of projects awaiting approval, Italy accounts for roughly 370 GW.

The finding forms part of the second edition of Aurora’s European Renewables Market Overview Report, which adds that Europe needs around €1.5 trillion in cumulative investment by 2050 to support the expansion of renewable energy, which is expected to more than triple between now and the middle of the century.
