EDP Renewables’ Post

☀️ June makes history with solar energy breaking a new record   Solar energy has set a new milestone, supplying 22% of the EU's electricity in June and becoming the main source of energy for the first time ever.   As cities across Europe grapple with heatwaves, the urgency for resilient, climate-smart infrastructure is heightened, and solar energy is crucial in meeting the increasing energy demand.   At EDP in Europe, centralized solar power generation increased by 71% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching a total of 577 GWh, establishing it as the fastest-growing technology in our portfolio.   The sun will continue to shine, playing an increasingly decisive role in the energy transition. With discussions beginning on the next EU budget for 2028-2034, it is crucial that we receive support through frameworks that drive sustained investment and enable more efficient progress with clean energy projects, thereby strengthening Europe's long-term competitiveness and resilience.
