European Energy unveiled ambitions to develop 10GW of renewables in the American market by 2026, as it added to a lengthening roll call of players from across the Atlantic eying a slice of the US green action.

Denmark-based European Energy has bought 7,000 acres of land in Texas – where it is eying a first 1GW of solar – and western US states as part of a renewable power push that will also encompass green hydrogen investments, the company said.
