Europe’s renewable revolution

Azhar Fayyaz

Abstract

Global initiatives like COP 28 underscore the urgency of decarbonizing energy systems, driving a resounding call for embracing renewable energy sources worldwide. Europe is witnessing an unprecedented surge in renewable energy integration, with projections indicating the addition of 475 GW of capacity between 2024 and 2028, predominantly led by solar PV and wind power. While ambitious national renewable targets and supportive policies fuel this growth, challenges persist, particularly in meeting wind energy targets due to permitting delays, grid constraints, and undersubscribed auctions, necessitating concerted efforts to overcome barriers and ensure Europe remains on course towards a sustainable energy future.
