The state of Texas is steadily growing its solar power initiatives. While the state of California remains the number one producer of solar power in the US, Texas is a close second: In 2022, it had 17,247MW of cumulative installed capacity. In this article, we present the three currently largest solar farms in Texas, as […]
Green energy in France has been growing in recent years thanks to commitments by the Government which outlined plans to invest €6bn in the sector. In 2019, renewable energy accounted for 25.3% of gross energy consumption. As part of the Paris Agreement, France has promised to reduce GHG emissions by 40% by 2030 and for […]
California is the US state most likely to be immediately associated with the sun. And suitably to that notion, solar power is booming in California. This comes as no surprise: Since the state has constant sun exposure all year round, it is the perfect location for building large-scale solar projects. The following three projects are […]
Minister for Climate, Energy, and Utilities Dan Jorgensen announced in June 2022 that he plans for Denmark to become a “major green powerhouse for all of Europe”. In doing so, Denmark is set to quadruple its solar and wind energy production by 2030 whereas offshore wind capacity is to quintuple from 2.3GW to 8.9GW by […]
The United Kingdom is one of the nations included in the Paris Agreement which has pledged to become net-zero by the year 2050 as well as cutting emissions by 68% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The largest source of renewable energy in the country comes from offshore and onshore wind, accounting for 13.8% of […]
Spain represents a country with vast potential to develop renewable energies due to the natural climate the country possesses. The Spanish Government aims to exploit this natural potential by setting a goal of 160GW of total installed capacity by 2030 and achieving 74% of renewable electricity generation by 2030 and 100% by 2050. The Spanish […]
Renewable energy in Germany has grown steadily since 2000 when green energy sources contributed to 6.3% of the national electricity demand. In 2013, the share grew to 25% whereas more recently, in 2022 renewable energy accounted for 46.2% of the German electricity demand, with wind being the most substantial contributor. In order to continue the […]
In 2021, France added 2.57GW of solar capacity. In 2022, the number was similarly high: 2.4GW of grid photovoltaic were deployed, including 743MW from Q4 alone. At the end of December 2022, France came to a total installed photovoltaic capacity of 16.5 GW. 70% of the newly added capacity came from the regions of Provence-Alpes-Côte […]
Germany was a pioneer when it came to installing grid-scale photovoltaic, and among the first countries to reach a total installed solar capacity of 1GW in 2004. Since then, solar energy has been continuing to expand in the country. Examples for this are the three large-scale projects in this article. Currently, Germany‘s solar capacity target […]
Denmark reached its goal to achieve 200 MW of solar energy by 2020 much faster than it had set out. In 2012, the country experienced a rapid solar energy growth burst in installed MW from 9 to 316 MW. But it did not stop there: Since 2012, many more solar projects have been developed over […]
