Europe to Break Solar Energy Record in Summer 2025
The European Union achieved a historic milestone in the summer of 2025, meeting over 35% of its electricity needs from solar energy. This surge was driven by increased solar panel capacity in Germany, Spain, and Italy. Portugal even recorded a full day with 100% renewable energy-based electricity consumption.
What does this achievement mean for Europe's energy future?
This record is concrete evidence that the clean energy transition is no longer just talk, but a reality. However, challenges remain with energy storage and grid stability during winter.
Europe has shown that solar energy can be the backbone of the future electricity system.
