The European Council (EC) and Parliament have reached a provisional political agreement to raise its renewable energy share target to 42.5% by 2030.

The European Parliament has voted in favour of a climate law that would raise emissions reduction targets and oblige EU member states to be carbon neutral by 2050.

As the European Union forges ahead with its green recovery and looks to meet new emissions reduction targets, member states should ensure they convey the benefits of solar power to citizens while also building partnerships with industry, according to a panel speaking at this week’s SolarPower Summit.

A proposal for a pan-European solar rooftop programme has been adopted by the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy.

Far right will lack clout to reverse clean energy progress despite gains at EU election that dented support to mainstream parties, analysts and associations tell PV Tech.

While Europe's solar industry gathered in Brussels to celebrate 100GW of PV deployments, the future grid policy for renewables was under scrutiny.

The European Parliament has voted to adopt the measures of a report seeking to improve the circumstances for energy consumers in the fast-changing market.
