Rewire. — Morning Briefing
Monday   24 Aug 2026 · Nº 236
Signal
Europe is tightening the regulatory scaffolding around energy security and industrial autonomy, with Italy operationalizing the RePower Gas mandate to exit Russian supply and Scotland's first minister openly challenging the UK's rejection of Mingyang's wind factory—exposing tension between decarbonization speed and de-risking from foreign (Chinese) supply chains. Meanwhile, the 2.3% July rise in European PPA prices and India's JGGPL securing CertifHy RFNBO pre-certification signal that compliance-grade green molecules and long-term offtake remain the bottleneck, not ambition.
