Solar energy has been able to meet the additional demand for electricity due to heat and other European countries.

Solar energy’s share of electricity generation in Spain reached a record 24% in July amid a heat wave that exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. Reuters reported this with reference to consulting firm Ember.

According to him, in July last year, solar power plants (SPS) provided 16% of the country’s electricity needs. It is possible to increase electricity production with this renewable energy source as a record number of panels with a total capacity of 4.5 GW were installed in Spain last year.

Solar energy has been able to meet the additional demand for electricity due to heat and other European countries. For example, in Sicily (Italy), solar power plants covered half of the excess demand for electricity in the amount of 1.3 GW when the air temperature rose to 45 degrees Celsius on July 24. In Greece, solar panels generated 3.5 GW on the same day out of the total heatwave requirement of 10.35 GW.

High air temperatures in July were reported by the meteorological services of Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and Switzerland. In the UK on July 19, the thermometer rose to a record high of 40.2 degrees Celsius.

It will be remembered that July 2023 was the hottest month on record. Scientists believe it could be the hottest in the last 120,000 years on the planet.

Last year, the total installed capacity of solar power plants in the world increased by a record 25% compared to 2021, to 1.2 terawatts.
