Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):The European Commission has halted public EU funding for solar projects using inverters from high-risk suppliers. This mainly affects Chinese firms like Huawei, as well as suppliers from Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The EU took this step due to serious cybersecurity risks, officials fear foreign governments could control or disrupt the devices, causing blackouts or other issues in Europe’s energy network. Chinese firms supply inverters for over 220 gigawatts of Europe’s solar capacity. The rules apply immediately to European Investment Bank and other EU program funds. This may raise costs for new solar builds in the short term as Europe shifts suppliers.
