The European Commission will gradually eliminate the use of Chinese-made inverters in EU-funded energy projects, a major step aimed at protecting critical energy infrastructure from possible cyber threats that could trigger power outages.
The move follows warnings from analysts that Europe's heavy reliance on Chinese-made solar inverters — produced by firms like Huawei and Sungrow — could pose risks to Europe’s power grid stability, especially as Europe relies more on renewable energy such as solar and wind.
