Now THAT’s a front cover 👏🏻
Just in time for #EuropeanSolarDay, @TheEconomist has seen the (sun) light!
The world installed 447 GW of solar last year - up 87% from 2022.
We’ve been saying it for a while now - but the #Solar Age is truly here.
Yesterday, it was great to discuss the importance of scaling-up decentralised energy, with Marcus Lippold from @eu_near, during the @ES_Coalition's ‘Repower Ukraine with Energy Storage & Renewables’ event
#Renewables + energy storage🔋 can help to secure #Ukraine's energy system
As the new @EU_Commission takes office, I must extend gratitude to our European Solar Champion @KadriSimson
Thanks to your immense efforts - like the #EUSolarStrategy - EU solar has almost tripled 📈in the last 5 years
Thank you dear Kadri, you have our sincere best wishes ☀
I am looking forward to attending the Forum Solar PLUS on 26-27 November 2024 in Berlin to discuss why flexibility is essential for Europe's competitiveness & security!

Solar is powering renewables growth worldwide ☀️
Solar PV alone is set to account for 80% of new renewable capacity added globally between now & 2030
This comes from new large power plants & rooftop solar panel installations by households & businesses 👉 iea.li/4fzZ9QK
I was delighted to take part in an event organised by the 🇪🇸 government, 'The citizen at the centre of the energy system' earlier today at #COP29 🌎
To future proof our energy system, we must add a lot of #flexibility & empower citizens to jump aboard the #energytransition
At #COP29, @soniakdunlop & I had a valuable exchange with @EIB Vice-President Ambroise Fayolle & Head of Environment, Climate & Social Policy Stephen O'Driscoll 🤝
⛓️ Investors want transparency in supply chains; governments & investors must work together to deliver this
It was great reconnecting with 🇧🇪 Minister of Energy @TinneVdS at #COP29Azerbaijan 🌍
Europe is a continent that is striving to be the world's first climate-neutral one, built on clean, competitive, #solar☀️ + storage, with #Belgium playing an important role here
#COP29
It was a pleasure exchanging views with 🇬🇷 Deputy Minister of Environment & Energy, @ASdoukou, following a panel discussion organised by @Energy4Europe & @HAEE_Greece on untapping the renewable energy potential of the Mediterranean 🌅 at #COP29
With dozens of international organisations, @SolarPowerEU is proud to support the Mediterranean Dialogue on Sustainable Energy & Climate's #TeraMED campaign, calling for 1 TW of renewables capacity in the region by 2030🎯 #NowDeliverChange

It was a pleasure organising our #electrification⚡️ dinner with the @EEF_EnergyForum yesterday
We need to see an Electrification Action Plan published in the new @EU_Comission's first 100 days!
🚨NEW: The incoming @EU_Commission will work on an Electrification Action Plan!
We're thrilled that @vonderleyen's Mission Letter to Energy Commissioner-Designate Dan Jørgensen calls for this plan
Let’s see it published in the first 100 days❗
#100daysToElectrify#ElectrifyNow
Just arrived at Strasbourg & ready to spread the #100daysToElectrify call for the @Europarl_EN's plenary session! ⚡🚄
The 🆕 @EU_Commission must publish an Electrification Action Plan within its first 100 days
