The report shows major growth in the solar rooftop segment, indicating that Europe's citizens and businesses have opted for low-cost solar to control their energy bills. Clean, affordable and secure energy for Europe's citizens and businesses is at the core of the European Commission's energy policy.
Public solar PV targets The updated draft National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), sent to the European Commission in July 2023, sets a target of 57 GW new PV power capacity in the 2022-2030 period (out of the total 73 GW new renewable power capacity). This would lead to a total solar capacity of 79 GW by the end of the decade.
This study uses geospatial data processing to quantify the potential for large-scale deployment of vertical solar panels along Europe's major roads and railways. Factors such as geography, environmental constraints, land use limitations, and techno-economic parameters, were carefully considered.
Such an expansion in the annual market will be reflected in cumulative installed capacities. According to our Medium Scenario long-term projections, the total solar fleet in the EU will increase from 263 GW installed at the end of 2023 to 399 GW in 2025 and 902 GW in 2030 (see Figure 30).
The study shows that a renewables-based energy system, factoring in the cost of grids, storage and backup, is by far the most affordable way to power Europe in the years ahead. This
