Solar becomes EU’s top power source

Believe it or not, the Sun, a mighty celestial furnace, has officially joined the ranks of European energy suppliers. According to data from Ember, a leading energy think tank, solar power became the European Union’s top source of electricity for the first time ever in June. It outpaced both nuclear and wind energy, while coal slipped even further behind, with its share in the EU’s electricity mix hitting a historic low.

Last month, solar accounted for 22.1% of the EU’s total electricity generation, up from 18.9% a year earlier. Thanks to an abundance of sunny days and a steady rollout of solar panel installations, total solar electricity generation hit 45.4 terawatt-hours. Nuclear energy followed closely with a 21.8% share, while wind contributed 15.8%.

Ember reports that 13 EU countries, including Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands, saw their highest-ever monthly solar output in June.

"This milestone shows how rapidly the EU's power system is changing," said Chris Rosslowe, senior energy analyst at Ember and lead author of the report. "Solar is stepping up when it's needed most – during summer heat waves and peak demand."

Coal, by contrast, has never looked dimmer. Its share in EU power generation fell to a record low of just 6.1%, down from 8.8% the year before, according to Ember.
