STORM: Why One Energy Solution Doesn’t Fit All Mediterranean Countries?
Energy transitions across the Mediterranean cannot follow a single model. While countries share common climate and energy challenges, their pathways differ according to solar and wind potential, financing capacity, available resources, and public acceptance. Recognizing these differences is essential to designing clean energy solutions that are practical, sustainable, and adapted to each local context.
