Solar energy production in Portugal has undergone a rapid expansion in an attempt to realise the high potential the country possesses with irradiation levels of 1860kWh/per year in the south and 1590kWh in the north. The increased growth is beginning to pay dividends, as a report in May 2022 produced by the Portuguese Association of […]
Similar to neighboring Scandinavian countries, Finland possesses great wind energy potential and the Finnish government has devised strategies to harvest this potential in recent years. Finland aims to achieve 30TWh of annual wind energy production by the end of the year 2030, which will account for 30% of the country’s total electricity consumption which is […]
The Italian solar market aims to mimic the success of nearby countries such as Spain and Portugal by exploiting the nation’s high solar potential. The Italian government has recognised the country’s solar shortcomings and has devised strategies to allow for solar development to strive. Italy’s solar and wind development must be accelerated to reach the […]
Spain represents an attractive location for solar development not only due to the nation’s climate but also because of the ambitious renewable energy goals the country has set. Spain aims to produce 60GW of renewable energy by 2030 in order to combat climate change. Therefore, it is no surprise to see the largest European solar […]
Scottish wind is due to experience a significant expansion in their wind development, according to the Scottish Renewables February 2022 report the market could grow by 231% by 2030.

Wind energy in Ireland has undergone significant growth in recent years and further growth will be required to reach the country’s Climate Action Plan. Ireland aims to achieve 80% of the energy supply to be provided from renewable energy supply and to be net-zero by 2035. Wind energy hit a record high in February 2022, […]
Wind energy is a relevant topic in Portugal’s energy market. Through windy areas near the ocean and sea, the country is predestined for wind park developments. In this article, we are introducing three major wind park developers in Portugal from our list of the largest wind park developers in Europe. 1) EDP Renovaveis SA EDP […]
Solar development in France offers great solar potential due to the increased efforts outlined by Macron to accelerate solar production. By 2050, France aims to increase the current solar production by tenfold, thus exceeding 100GW. In February 2022, the president acknowledged that France has “fallen behind” and aims to increase production through rooftop and ground […]
The offshore wind farm business is blowing hot in the UK as the government plans to install 40GW of offshore wind by 2030. Of offshore wind farms globally the UK has the largest (1.3 GW Hornsea 2) and second largest (1.2 GW Hornsea 1) and has just begun construction on what will be the largest […]
The renewable energy sources used in Japan range from hydropower, wind and solar energy as well as geothermal and biomass. With the reputation of being among the most technically-advanced and innovative countries in the world, the country has set ambitious policies and goals in order to achieve net-zero society and carbon neutrality by 2050. Even […]
