[Solar: EU launches T-MED to support 15GW of renewables across the Mediterranean]

Published: Jun 12, 2026 16:28
The European Union has launched the Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy and Clean Tech Cooperation initiative, or T-MED, to support 15GW of new renewable energy capacity across the Mediterranean region by 2035. The initiative is expected to mobilize up to EUR 25 billion in investment, covering renewables, energy efficiency, grid infrastructure, hydrogen and clean technology manufacturing. The European Commission said the Mediterranean region has around 2,300GW of untapped renewable potential, with solar and wind costs 30%-40% lower than in Europe.

Indian solar PV manufacturer and EPC group HVR Solar is expanding upstream into solar cell production. At the SNEC 2026 expo in Shanghai, the company signed multiple strategic memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with international partners to establish a 1.2 GW annual capacity TOPCon cell manufacturing line in the Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh. Under these agreements, Shenzhen Han’s Photovoltaic Equipment Co., Ltd. will supply the core manufacturing machinery for the TOPCon production line, Gentech Technology (Huzhou) Co., Ltd. will provide critical chemical and gas utility systems, and Indygreen Technologies will serve as the technology facilitator responsible for production line integration and process deployment. This project is viewed as a strategic move to strengthen India's domestic renewable energy supply chain, reducing the company's reliance on upstream cell imports while enhancing local manufacturing capabilities. Furthermore, this new cell facility will create synergies with HVR Solar’s recently commissioned 1.2 GW automated module factory in Sonipat, Haryana. The module plant primarily produces G12 and G12R bifacial modules utilizing both TOPCon and HJT technologies, targeting the residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) rooftop solar markets.
