The 60-page SolarPower Europe report, launched in the wake of the EU elections and ahead of Europe’s biggest solar and storage trade events, Intersolar Europe and ees Europe next week in Germany, is a call to action for policymakers as well as industry and regulators.
We investigate 62 alternative future European energy systems, determined for different weather years, using the open sector-coupled energy system model PyPSA-Eur. The model performs capacity expansion and dispatch optimization of generation, transmission, storage, and conversion technologies.
The most notable trend in this data is the steady increase in the use of renewable energy . From 23.60% in 2015, the share of renewable energy in Europe energy mix rose to 34.10% in 2021. This surge underscores the continent strategic push towards harnessing power from sustainable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.
A fascinating aspect of the renewable energy landscape in Europe is the interplay between different forms of renewable energy. In many regions, there is a trade-off between solar and wind power. Regions with high solar potential often have low wind potential, and vice versa.
Europe’s annual battery storage deployments doubled in 2023, but the pace of adoption is still much slower than required, according to SolarPower Europe. The continental trade association for solar PV industries published new analysis of the sector in its report, European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2024-2028.
In France, this could be attributed to its extensive hydroelectric facilities, the significant solar energy potential in its southern regions, and growing wind energy infrastructure. Germany, a leader in renewable energy, has made substantial investments in both wind (onshore and offshore) and solar energy.
