Under The Coronavirus, Germany, Spain, And The UK Set New Records For Solar Power Generation
Apr 28, 2020
1. German solar energy hits a record high
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy said that from April 6th to 12th, solar energy accounted for 23% of total power generation in Germany (both days inclusive).
2. Spanish solar "illuminates the road", setting a monthly record
In early April, Spanish grid operator REE stated that statistics show that in March 2020, solar power generation reached 1.049TWh, and solar technology "illuminates the road to energy transformation."
3. Favorable weather boosts the UK to achieve renewable energy milestones
EnAppSys data shows that in the first quarter of 2020, renewable energy in the UK became the leading source of electricity nationwide.
In the first quarter of 2020, the continued strong winds accompanied by severe storms caused the British wind power plant's quarterly solar power generation to exceed 10GW (63%). On February 8, as the Ciara storm raged, the proportion of wind power generation in the UK reached 44.26%, a record.
4.Renewable energy lights up Australia Saturday Easter
As the global impact of the new crown epidemic has further expanded, Australia on the other side of the earth has also begun to achieve solar milestones.
According to the latest report from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, last Saturday, nearly one-third of electricity in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia was provided by solar power generation.
Prior to Easter, Australia's solar industry has experienced rapid growth in 2019. According to new data released by the global agency IRENA, the cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity in Australia increased from 11.3GW in 2018 to 15.9GW in 2019.
