Headline: UNCAPTIONED: EU Blocks Funding For Huawei Solar Tech Over Security Risks

Caption: EU Blocks Funding For Huawei Solar Tech Over Security Risks. The European Commission blocked EU funding for solar inverter projects involving Huawei. Officials said the move targets “high-risk vendors” over concerns about foreign interference in critical infrastructure. The restrictions apply to key components that convert solar energy into electricity for national grids. The EU warned such technology could be exploited to disrupt power systems or access sensitive data. Suppliers from countries including China, Russia, North Korea and Iran are affected by the policy. Existing projects may request exemptions, with decisions expected later this year. The move follows broader EU efforts to limit Huawei’s role in sectors like 5G and energy systems. The decision highlights rising tensions between Europe and China over technology and security. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
