It aims to deliver over 320 GW of solar photovoltaic by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030. Alongside the plan, the Commission also presented a set of initiatives on permitting processes for renewable energy projects, which are reflected in the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413).
According to the European Commission, solar energy has a potential to become part of the mainstream energy system by providing power and heat to households and industry. The strategy puts forward a target of over 320 GW of newly installed solar photovoltaic capacity by 2025, and almost 600 GW by 2030.
By the end of 2021, 843 GW were installed worldwide, more than double the capacity installed just four years earlier 47. And yet, further acceleration in solar energy deployment and integration is still required to achieve the objectives enshrined in the Paris Agreement.
Legislation that would require EU member states to integrate solar installations into future building works, and retroactively install PV on buildings, is one step closer to becoming law, after being approved by members of the European Parliament. Image: Markus Spiske, Unsplash
The Solar Energy Strategy is part of the EU’s RepowerEU plan to phase out Russian fossil fuels and accelerate the green transition in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to the European Commission, solar energy has a potential to become part of the mainstream energy system by providing power and heat to households and industry.
The EU has long been a front-runner in the roll-out of solar energy. Under the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan, solar power is a building block of the EU’s transition to cleaner energy. Its accelerated deployment contributes to reducing the EU’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.
