While renewables were the largest source of generation in Europe for the sixth consecutive quarter, solar output in the continent shrunk during Q3, a new report from energy data analyst EnAppSys says.
Europe’s fleet of solar arrays generated 68TWh of power in the first six months of 2020, a 15% increase on last year’s figure as new, larger solar farms came to the fore.
Solar and wind generated a record 9.8% of global electricity during the first six months of 2020, but further gains are needed if Paris Agreement targets are to be met, a new report has said.
