EU increases use of solar by 10%

The European Union has produced around 39 terawatt hours (TWh) of power from solar panels during June and July, according to data from independent climate think tank Ember.

This accounts for nearly 10 percent increase of total electricity produced in the region.

Ember’s report shows that electricity supply from coal stood at 14 percent for the European bloc. 

The European Union is on a target to raise the share of renewable energy to 40 percent in 2030, from 20 percent in 2019. 

The bloc has proposed  that they must  increase the use of renewables sources such as wind, solar and biomass energy to depend less on fossil fuels.
