Solar reaches 25% of EU electricity generation in June, Ember says

SolarNews Brief

Renewables Now reports that June marked a new milestone for European solar output, with the technology providing one quarter of EU electricity generation. The record matters because high solar penetration changes wholesale-price patterns, grid operations and the value of storage and flexibility. For developers and policymakers, the next challenge is not only adding more PV, but integrating it cleanly into daily system operation.
