In 2024, potential power generation from wind was generally below average for Europe, reflecting the below-average wind conditions, most notably in the south. Potential for solar PV power generation reflected the contrasting cloud and solar radiation conditions across the continent.
However, it was reported to be a record year for additions to total EU solar PV capacity. This meant that, despite the below-average climate-driven potential for solar PV power generation, the year as a whole saw an increase in actual solar electricity generation compared to 2023.
