Conversely, potential solar photovoltaic power generation was above average across most of Europe. Power generation from wind and solar resources plays an essential role in Europe's transition to a decarbonised energy system.
Power generation from wind and solar resources plays an essential role in Europe's transition to a decarbonised energy system. The total installed capacity, as well as the share of wind and solar power in European electricity generation, has been steadily increasing over the past two decades .
Estimated potential values for wind and photovoltaic in Europe are disparate. 74% of these values exceed the capacities planned in long-term scenarios. Technical constraints do not much limit values of potential. Studies add political and/or aesthetic criteria to give realistic potential values. 1. Introduction
Potential power generation from onshore wind was below average across most of Europe, especially in southern central regions. Conversely, potential solar photovoltaic power generation was above average across most of Europe.
The announced support schemes for solar PV manufacturing in Europe, attempting to boost EU's domestic manufacturing capacities and rebuilt its competitiveness in the global PV value chain, are encouraging, but their realisation is not keeping up with global market growth.
The EU and its Member States should ensure support schemes are adapted to hybrid PV projects. Hybrid PV systems should be able to participate in traditional renewable energy auctions and get bonus points for their system benefits, while avoiding market distortions.
