POWER
Homepagemarkets-real-timeBullet

The EU led annual solar and wind generation per capita in 2023, with Denmark, Sweden, and Portugal at the forefront, according to the International Solar Energy Society, cited by PV Magazine.

  • Denmark and Sweden both produced around 4MWh of wind and solar generation per person in 2023, with Portugal just below 3.5MWh.
  • The majority of the output in these three countries was wind.
  • The remaining EU countries include the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Greece.
  • The only non-EU country to be in the top 10 was Australia at about 3MWh.
  • Globally, solar generation will reach 100,000 TWh/yr in 2042 at its current growth rate of 22% per year, with wind at a growth rate of around 11%.
  • Solar generation is tracking to surpass nuclear generation in 2026, wind in 2027, hydro in 2028, gas in 2030 and coal in 2032. This is due to slow growth rate of hydro power plants and as coal and nuclear power could be phased out due legislation and retirements of units.
