Putting the mission in transmission: Grids for Europe''s

19 out of 23 national grid plans examined undershoot the deployment of solar expected under SolarPower Europe''s business-as-usual scenario, by a total of 205 GW by 2030. Wind is underestimated in ten out of

The significance of climate variability on early modern

Grain was the most important food source in early modern Europe (c. 1500–1800), and its price influenced the entire economy. The extent to which climate variability determined grain price variations remains contested,

A simplified seasonal forecasting strategy, applied to wind and solar

1. Introduction. Seasonal climate prediction, in which statistics of the weather over a period of several months, are forecast with a lead time of several weeks, has long been an area of

Future changes, or lack thereof, in the temporal variability of

The transition to renewables plays a key role in the climate change mitigation strategies [1], as well as in the response to the challenges of fossil fuel depletion [2, 3] and air

Electrical capacity for wind and solar photovoltaic

This article focuses on the evolution of electricity production capacities for wind and solar photovoltaic in the EU. The graphs in this article provide information on: • Electrical capacity: it describes how much electricity could be generated

Wind and solar overtake EU fossil fuels in the first half of 2024

As fossil fuels fell and wind and solar continued to grow, power sector emissions dropped by 17% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This follows a

Solar power consists of photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal energy in the European Union (EU). In 2010, the €2.6 billion European solar heating sectors consisted of small and medium-sized businesses, generated 17.3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy, employed 33,500 workers, and created one new job for every 80 kW of adde
