Grid infrastructure has emerged as a key stumbling block in Europe’s transition to a cleaner energy system, says Chris Rosslowe of Ember.

Solar and wind power accounted for 30% of the EU’s electricity generation in H1 2024, exceeding the contribution of fossil fuels.

A new report from Ember Climate has found that cumulative global solar manufacturing capacity will almost double solar deployment by 2030.

A report from Ember Climate notes that wind and solar generation in the EU have cut fossil fuel generation by one-fifth between 2019 and 2023.

Ember Climate suggests that the EU will need to invest at least €58.4 billion a year on transmission and distribution grids.
