The CRE published assessments of two distinct PPE2 solar tenders on 9 October. The minister designated 125 files as winners in the ground-solar round and 871 in the small-PV round.

The ninth ground-solar round selected 125 projects totalling 931.4 MWp at a weighted €61.33/MWh; applications totalled 5,358.7 MWp against 925 MWp called. Small PV covered 100–500 kWp projects: 871 selections totalled 288.3 MWp at €75.48/MWh on average. These are separate tenders and do not represent completed generation.
