SolarPower Europe and 19 renewable associations have published an open letter to the EU, calling for a more effective European power grid.

2022 saw the solar PV market enter a ‘new growth dimension’, where 239GW of solar capacity was added across the world representing two thirds of all new renewables capacity.

The European Commission plans ultimately to run an ‘expression of interest’ call for EU countries every year, which will result in a call for a cross-border tender if there is enough interest from member states and the proposals and desires of the participating countries line up.

With just 2GW of solar installed at the end of 2019, Poland has seen a meteoric rise towards becoming the third largest solar PV market in Europe in terms of installations.

The European Commission (EC) has announced the Net Zero Industry Act, addressing a number of technologies that can help achieve decarbonisation including solar PV.

The European Commission has proposed to reform the EU’s electricity market design in a move to accelerate the uptake of renewables.

The EU Commission has announced new measures to support multiple sectors, including the renewable energy industry, to keep them in Europe.

Households in European countries could save up to 84% on their household bills by installing both solar PV and heat pumps compared to homes relying on gas heating, according to a recent study conducted by trade body SolarPower Europe.

Trade body SolarPower Europe has called on the European Commission to include a ‘best-in-class’ solar labelling to leverage PV demand for European manufacturing in the Green Deal Industrial Plan.

The European Commission has announced two acts to help define renewable hydrogen in the EU.
