Google partners with Telxius to provide the necessary infrastructure to land the Sol cable in Santander, a port city located on the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Cantabrian Sea in Spain. Google Sol is comprised of 16 fiber optic cables to meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure in Portugal and Europe. 3 - Google Cloud subsea cable Equinano Google also has subsea cable, Equinano, that is already operational and that links Portugal to Togo, Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, and St. Helena. The Equiano submarine cable is based on space division multiplexing (SDM) technology, which increases digital capacity for a variety of network operators and internet service providers in Europe and Africa.

The European Commission also has a proposal to increase free ETS allocations to industries with a total amount of 6 billion euros for the period 2026-2030.

Here is the best way to reduce Europe's fossil energy dependency according to the European Commission: ¨The best way to reduce Europe's fossil energy dependency is to power our economy with electricity from clean, homegrown sources.
