Ukraine’s wartime mass production of drone batteries has, almost incidentally, built one of Europe’s most innovative defence manufacturing clusters — and analysts now see a credible path for converting that capability into a peacetime energy-storage industry. The scale is striking. Roughly four million drones were produced in 2025, with forecasts pointing to six million in […]

For the first time in the continent’s modern energy history, the installed base of wind and solar has grown large enough to routinely match or exceed gas-fired output — not because of favourable weather, but because of sheer capacity.
