Solar Panels Will Become Mandatory On All New EU Buildings A thread🧵

1/n The European Union wants to accelerate the rollout of solar energy while also rebuilding Europe's solar manufacturing industry

2/n Half of the EU's energy would come from renewable sources by 2030, more than double the current amount, according to the European Commission's plan, named RepowerEU.

3/n The plan is part of the bloc's strategy to end its reliance on Russian fossil fuels, especially natural gas, by 2030.

4/n A shift towards solar energy The EU aims to bring online over 320 GW of solar photovoltaic energy by 2025 and almost 600 GW by 2030 To reach the 2030 target, the EU would have to install, on average, 45 GW per year

According to some estimates, rooftop PV could provide almost 25% of the EU's electricity consumption Installation can be deployed rapidly while also shielding consumers from high energy prices

5/n The plan is expected to add 19 TWh of electricity after the first year of implementation and 58 TWh by 2025

In terms of saving energy, the European Commission wants to raise its current target for reducing energy consumption by 2030 via energy efficiency, from 9% to 13%.

It's also encouraging governments to implement policies to increase energy savings.
