An industrial policy for solar in Europe

March 18, 2018

As policymakers, investors and consumers increasingly enjoy the benefits of clean, flexible and low-cost solar power, solar technology has become the world’s most popular power generation source. In 2018, more solar power capacity was installed than all fossil fuel and nuclear sources combined, and almost twice as much as wind. In the coming years, SolarPower Europe anticipates 2-digit annual market growth in Europe, with solar playing a major role in meeting Europe’s 32% renewables target by 2030, and beyond. The potential for growth is indeed significant, as the latest studies suggest solar could cover 69% of Europe’s electricity generation in a 100% renewable scenario, with over 2 TW installed in 2050.1
