☀️ Solar takes the lead in Europe! In Q2 2025, solar generated 122,317 GWh, making up 19.9% of the EU’s electricity mix—and in June, it became the #1 electricity source for the first time ever, surpassing nuclear. Renewables overall hit 54% of total generation, with solar contributing 36.8% of that. 🌍 Denmark, Latvia, and Austria led the way with over 90% renewable shares, while Luxembourg and Belgium saw the biggest year-on-year gains. A clear sign that Europe’s energy transition is accelerating! 👉 https://ow.ly/i49t50X4OnF #SolarPower #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Renewables #ClimateAction #SustainableEurope

⚡️ 22% of EU electricity in June came from solar — making it the #1 power source for the first time in history. It has overtaken nuclear, wind, hydro, and natural gas across the EU’s grid. Source. Here’s the bigger picture 👇 🔹 In Q2 2025, renewables provided 54% of all EU electricity, up from 52.7% a year earlier. 🔹 Solar alone produced 122,317 GWh — nearly 20% of the total electricity mix. 🔹 The biggest year-on-year jumps in renewables came from:       • Luxembourg (+13.5 pp)       • Belgium (+9.1 pp) 🔹 Leaders in renewable share of electricity:       • Denmark — 94.7%       • Latvia — 93.4%       • Austria — 91.8% 🌍 What this means: Solar has moved from being “the future” to being the present backbone of Europe’s energy system. But at the same time, it’s worth noting that not every country has seen the same growth in solar’s share of the energy mix — some even recorded lower percentages than last year. 👉 I’m genuinely curious: for those of you in countries where solar or renewables haven’t grown as much, what do you think are the main reasons? Is it geography, policy, investment, or something else? Would love to hear perspectives from across Europe — this is about understanding the different challenges each country faces on the path to a cleaner grid.

Solar Becomes #1 Electricity Source in Europe! For the first time ever, solar energy generated 22% of the EU’s electricity in June 2025, surpassing nuclear, wind, hydro, and natural gas. In Q2 2025, renewables accounted for 54% of all electricity generation—driven largely by this solar surge. European Commission This milestone isn’t just numbers—it’s a call to accelerate the transition to green power, amplify solar investments, and rethink how we power our future. https://lnkd.in/gMCK9VrD 🔖 #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #GreenTech #ClimateAction #Innovation #FutureOfEnergy

While 2025 has brought significant headwinds, renewable energy is booming despite the U.S. federal subsidies ending. According to BloombergNEF, the U.S. will add a record amount of renewable energy and batteries through 2027. See our recent blog post with a curated set of resources on renewable energy demand globally, and the expected changes in the U.S. as a result of the OBBB. With the overall rise in demand for low-cost electricity, we expect to see continued growth in renewables, as we as clean firm power solutions like nuclear and geothermal. #cleanenergy #cleantech #renewables #OBBB https://lnkd.in/dzqKvasX

A significant milestone in the renewable energy sector has been reached - solar energy has become the leading source of electricity generation in the #EU for Q2 2025. With renewable energy sources generating 54% of the EU's net electricity, it's inspiring to see solar energising a noteworthy 19.9% of the total electricity generation mix. June 2025 was a turning point when #solar produced 22% of the EU's electricity, surpassing #nuclear at 21.6%. This shift reflects our growing commitment to sustainable energy solutions and the essential role solar energy plays in this transformation. Notably, #Denmark led the way with a staggering 94.7% of net electricity from renewables! It's motivating to see the dynamism in the renewable energy sector, opening up countless opportunities for skilled professionals.

⚡️🌬️ Britain Hits Record Renewable Generation in Q3 Renewable power in Britain reached a record 31.9 TWh in Q3 2025; the highest third-quarter total since records began in 2014, according to Montel Analytics. 🍃 Wind: 17.7 TWh (+6% YoY) ☀️ Solar: 6.2 TWh (second-highest on record) 🔴 Gas: 15.4 TWh (-25% YoY) 💚 Renewables share: 51% of total generation Strong wind and sunshine boosted output, while gas and nuclear generation declined due to lower demand and maintenance outages. High renewable generation reflects the UK’s long-term clean energy commitment, adding that stable power prices are expected into winter, unless global gas markets tighten. #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #SolarEnergy #EnergyTransition #UKEnergy #CleanPower

🔌 𝗜𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁: 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲 – 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity), has published its preliminary report on the #IberianBlackout. The findings are clear: renewables were not responsible. The incident was triggered by excessive voltage, leading to a cascading shutdown of generation units – fossil, nuclear and renewable – all disconnected automatically to protect their equipment. 💡This highlights a critical issue: Europe urgently needs smarter, more resilient grid infrastructure. Voltage control, digitalisation, flexibility and cross-border interconnections are essential to ensure energy security. Unfortunately, the blackout also sparked a wave of misinformation blaming renewables. But the facts speak for themselves: #WindPower supplies 20% of Europe’s electricity, and up to 60% in countries like Denmark. Far from causing blackouts, wind keeps the lights on – reliably and affordably. WindEurope has launched a dedicated hub to fact-check and counter false claims about #WindEnergy. Let’s stand up for facts and support the transition to clean, secure energy 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q03NFp_v0 #WindEnergy #GridResilience #Renewables #EnergySecurity #ENTSOE #WindEurope #CleanEnergy #FactCheck

India is steadily advancing toward its ambitious 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030, driven primarily by solar power. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi announced that 162 GW of renewable capacity is in the pipeline, with bids floated for nearly 100 GW, reaffirming India’s strong clean energy trajectory. The country’s non-fossil capacity has crossed 250 GW, now making up 50% of total installed power. This includes 123 GW of solar, 52 GW of wind, 55 GW of hydro, 11 GW of bio-energy, and 8 GW of nuclear. With 125 GW of solar capacity, India has become the third-largest solar producer globally, and the second-largest market for renewable growth, according to the IEA. Government schemes like PM Surya and PM Kusum are empowering farmers and rural communities, expanding access to clean, sustainable energy across the nation. #solarpowered #solarpower #renewableenergy #solarenergy #cleantech #india #sustainability #greenenergy https://lnkd.in/gpENSwik
