Solar Power Records Set in Spain, France, Germany, and Italy
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Spain and France each increased solar photovoltaic production 16% year-on-year; Germany, Spain, Italy, and France all set all-time records for half-year solar PV production in first half of 2026. France, Italy, and Portugal also reached all-time records for half-year wind energy production.
Electricity prices rose across most European markets due to higher gas prices and demand, though Spain and Portugal saw price drops from increased renewable generation.
