Solar power reached a new milestone across Europe last month, generating a record 52 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity and supplying 25% of all electricity used in the European Union in June 2026, according to new analysis from energy think tank Ember.
That’s the first time solar has provided a quarter of the EU’s monthly electricity. It also made solar the bloc’s largest source of electricity for the month, ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%), wind (14%), hydro (12%), and coal (8%).
Solar hit 25% of EU electricity in June 2026, beating nuclear, gas, and wind. From 10% in 2021 to #1 source that’s unstoppable momentum.
Too little, too late.
Let’s keep pushing.
While the US is falling further and further behind the rest of the world.
I love solar and all, but what about january?
We need nuclear.
We need more wind power.
Good. Now do nuclear.
Electricity remains incredibly expensive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Greed in the USA keeps this from happening.
It’s so damn cheap that it’s stupid not to install it. Battery prices have also started to come down, so I hope we start seeing massive storage systems next.
Good in times where its problematic cooling nuclear.
Nice. If only we stopped shutting down our nuclear plants, that would be even nicer
so in the day like today, <1h of some sun here in Poland.. can i see how much output was actually generated vs yesterday somewhere?
If we would just start widely implementing our local built Na ion battery’s….
