Will solar power the EU in 2025?

For the first time, solar became the EU's largest single generation technology in June 2025, providing 22% of total power output. Together, wind and solar are set to deliver over 30% of EU electricity in 2025, exceeding the combined output of all fossil fuels. Solar generation is increasing across all seasons.

How much solar power will Europe have by 2030?

In the low-growth scenario, total capacity is projected to reach only 644 GW by 2030—falling 14% short of the REPowerEU target. SolarPower Europe estimates that based on national energy and climate plans (PNECs), EU Member States will collectively achieve 687 GW by the end of the decade.
