Solar & Storage for EU Energy Security

Solar & Storage for EU Energy Security shows how solar PV, combined with storage and other flexibility solutions, can act as a powerful buffer for EU citizens and businesses by reducing energy price volatility and reducing import dependence. The analysis demonstrates that EU solar electricity is already delivering substantial savings on fossil fuel imports and protecting consumers from extreme price volatility. Further deploying solar and storage capacity across the EU will allow massive fossil fuel import cost savings in the future.
