Lithuania Opens First Countermobility Park

Lithuania is establishing a network of counter-mobility parks along its borders with Russia and Belarus to enhance national defense, with the first park set to open soon at a cost of 18 million euros, excluding military equipment. In Sweden, Better Energy's 24MW Studsvik solar park has begun operations, with several companies committing to purchase its renewable energy to support their sustainability goals. Germany inaugurated its largest floating photovoltaic system, featuring over 27,000 solar modules on Philippsee, aiming to produce around 16 million kilowatt-hours annually. Meanwhile, Romania's largest photovoltaic park project, valued at 800 million euros, is currently stalled in court due to environmental concerns raised by a local NGO about its impact on protected bird habitats. In Latvia, two powerful solar power plants have been completed, providing green electricity for 7,000 households and contributing to the region's energy independence. These developments highlight the growing emphasis on renewable energy and national security across Europe.
