Solar is contributing to Europe's main goals ☀️

Solar is helping to drive European security, competitiveness & climate resilience. But continued innovation in PV technology is essential to scale up and meet the challenges ahead.

Delighted to share this message during the 20th #ETIPPV Conference.

🆕 report: The World installed 600 GW of solar in 2024, could be installing 1 TW per year by 2030 🌅

🌍 Our latest GMO report reveals a 33% surge from 2023, after the world crossed the milestone of 2 TW total solar in late 2024.

Favourite soundbites from #Intersolar kickoff:

@gjuk.bsky.social: "Flexibility IS the new system; it is not a compromise - it's an upgrade."
 
Julian Jansen, EASE: "Battery storage is a time machine for the energy system"
 
@renewablebruce.bsky.social: "Renewable energy = energy security"

Renewables, flexibility, electrification, and battery storage
 
This is the recipe for a secure, reliable and competitive energy system
 
I was happy to relay this message during the opening session of #IntersolarEurope 2025

It was a great pleasure participating in a session on 'Investments in renewable energy,' at the #EUUABusinessSummit last Friday

Renewables like solar ☀️ will play a crucial role in guaranteeing Ukraine’s energy security

It's time to go faster & accelerate the solar rollout now!

Permitting is still one of the major barriers for solar 🚧

To tackle it, we must be able to discuss the problem, and solutions

Thanks to EU Environment Commissioner @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu for making this happen with a dedicated Dialogue on permitting

At the #SolarPowerSummit, @solarpowereu.bsky.social & Greenpeace Ukraine announced their collaboration to fast-track solar installations across Ukraine 🌻

Solar is the future. We're committed to working with Greenpeace Ukraine to make this a reality & ensure Ukraine's energy independence & security

It was a pleasure flexing solar muscles with EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen yesterday at @solarpowereu.bsky.social's #SolarPowerSummit

Commissioner Jørgensen affirmed; "We live in a defining moment for Europe... Europe is stronger together & we are stronger with solar ☀️"

Member of @europarl.europa.eu Anna Wechsler

"Solar has been a success in Europe

Now we see challenges, and we turn to flexibility

That needs to be the core focus of our policies - flexibility, grid development, storage"

#SolarPowerSummit #LetsFlex

Polish Minister for Climate @hennigkloska.bsky.social

"@solarpowereu.bsky.social is the most important voice of the solar sector across Europe

Today solar energy stands as one of the key pillars of EU energy security, which is the backbone of our economic and social security"

@solarpowereu.bsky.social President Aristotelis Chantavas

"Solar is powering the equivalent of over 80 million European homes today

The fossil-fuelled age is over in Europe

As of last year, we now get more of our electricity from solar than coal"

European Commission Executive Vice President @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu

"Brussels capital of the sun, the capital of the solar power

Solar energy has been driving this energy transition in recent years

You - solar - represent competitiveness, security, and values"
