"BRUSSELS — Explosive growth in solar power means most EU countries will hit
their 2030 renewable energy targets ahead of time, new data shows, fuelling
optimism on efforts to bring down global emissions.

The bloc added 41 gigawatts of new solar capacity in 2022 — a 40 percent
increase on 2021. That's expected to rise to over 50 GW this year.

Some 23 countries are slated to reach their solar installation targets by 2027,
according to data from the SolarPower Europe lobby group based on the latest
available national targets and shared with POLITICO.

That mirrors a global trend, and means millions more tons of greenhouse gas
emissions are being saved each year than predicted."
