What is the future of solar energy in Europe?
Solar PV and wind energy become the cornerstone of the transformed energy system, with solar PV being crucial for achieving self-sufficiency. By , 5.1 TW of solar and 1.3 TW of onshore and offshore wind capacity will be installed across Europe (see Supplementary Fig. 13), taking up 57% and 36% of the electricity generation, respectively.
How has European solar technology changed the world?
To the horizon and beyond – European solar production has grown faster than any other technology. No other electricity generation technology has expanded as quickly as photovoltaics in the past year, now surpassing coal power, while the addition of green power plants also significantly reduces costs on fossil fuel imports.
What is the EU solar energy strategy?
The EU solar energy strategy proposed under the REPowerEU plan aims to make solar energy a cornerstone of the EU energy system. Boosting renewable energy is also an important part of the European Green Deal in the context of the green transition towards climate neutrality.
How much solar power does the EU produce?
Furthermore, the EU net maximum electrical capacity increased from 176 MW to 120 000 MW between and . In , solar electricity production capacity varied between countries (see Map 1), with the majority of production coming from solar photovoltaic energy and only Spain producing electricity from solar thermal.
Which EU countries have the most solar power?
Germany will reach the highest score, with over 2,500 W per capita by the end of the decade, while Denmark, Lithuania and Portugal will approach or overshoot the value of 2,000 W per capita in . As solar PV deployment ramps up across the EU, it's not just about harnessing clean energy – it's also about powering job growth.
