Signal
Europe is pivoting from pure deployment targets toward industrial resilience—Germany's electricity overhaul and Spain's Industrial Accelerator Act land alongside Enerparc's insolvency, exposing how policy support is failing to stabilize domestic manufacturers even as storage races toward 57 GWh in 2026. The China dimension sharpens the tension: Chinese electrolyser makers are walking away from tenders won on unsustainable ultra-low bids, validating the UK's turbine restrictions and confirming that cheapest-bid procurement is now a liability, not a win.

Call for UK to clarify reasoning behind restrictions on Chinese wind turbine makers
Neretek chief executive Jonathan Cole has argued that the UK should be more transparent about why it is restricting Chinese turbine manufacturers from its offshore wind market, according to Wind Power Monthly. The comments are one industry figure's view, not a change in UK policy.
