Europe’s renewables market
All European countries invested USD698 billion in green energy in 2009-2019.
Europe’s renewables market outlook
Europe’s renewables expansion will ensure 90% of electricity mix by 2040 with wind and solar jointly contributing 80%.
Solar power in Europe
Spain’s Francisco Pizarro project, with an installed capacity of 590 MW, is to become Europe’s largest photovoltaic solar plant.
Wind power in Europe
As of the late 2010s, offshore wind has a strong foothold in Europe with close to 15 GW installed.
