Solar for EuropeEuropean countries are among the most active proponents of renewable energy, especially solar power. Adding to arguments in favour of solar for Europe, European Market Outlook 2022-2026 asserts that solar is essential for the EU’s energy independence. IEA recommends that the EU install around 60 GW of solar power in 2023 to compensate for shortfalls in the Russian gas supply. Furthermore, the proponents of solar for Europe argue that solar power is not only sustainable but also a cheaper energy source. European countries have plans to invest and profit from the huge solar potential of their neighbours to the south of the Mediterranean.
