Helleniq Renewables, a wholly owned subsidiary of Helleniq Energy, has announced the acquisition of solar parks with a total capacity of 180 megawatts from the UK's Lightsource near Kozani, in northern Greece.

Helleniq Renewables plans to expand its renewable energy capacity from the current 356 MW to 1 GW by 2025, and over 2 GW by 2030.

French energy giant EDF Group is "very interested" in the Turkish market and getting involved in hydro energy projects, as well as further developing its activities in renewables, said Simone Rossi, the group's senior executive vice president in charge of the international division. 

Austria said on Monday it has filed a legal challenge at the European Court of Justice against EU-granted state subsidies for a new nuclear power plant in Britain.

"Subsidies are there to support modern technologies that lie in the general interest of all EU member states. This is not the case with nuclear power," Chancellor Werner Faymann said in a statement.
