FAQs 6

Is solar power a viable energy source in Europe?

Conversely, potential solar photovoltaic power generation was above average across most of Europe. Power generation from wind and solar resources plays an essential role in Europe’s transition to a decarbonised energy system.

Should the EU support hybrid PV projects?

The EU and its Member States should ensure support schemes are adapted to hybrid PV projects. Hybrid PV systems should be able to participate in traditional renewable energy auctions and get bonus points for their system benefits, while avoiding market distortions.

What role does wind and solar play in Europe's transition?

Power generation from wind and solar resources plays an essential role in Europe’s transition to a decarbonised energy system. The total installed capacity, as well as the share of wind and solar power in European electricity generation, has been steadily increasing over the past two decades .

Is onshore wind generating power in Europe?

Potential power generation from onshore wind was below average across most of Europe, especially in southern central regions. Conversely, potential solar photovoltaic power generation was above average across most of Europe.

Will Europe's wind turbines take over from solar panels in 2025?

REUTERS/Axel Schmidt/File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights LITTLETON, Colorado, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Europe's wind turbines are set to take over from solar panels as the main driver of clean electricity supply growth for the rest of 2025, as the end of the Northern Hemisphere summer brings less sunlight but windier conditions at turbine level.

Why is Europe's electricity production stable throughout the year?

The complementary nature of solar and wind generation patterns normally means that Europe's total clean electricity production is quite stable throughout the year, even with the large swings in solar and wind production from summer to winter.
