This statistic shows the European Union's projected gross electricity generation from solar energy, from 2015 to 2050. The projections form part of the EU Reference Scenario 2016, providing a framework by which energy and environment policy can be assessed.
The projected amount of electricity generated from solar energy by member states of the European Union increases significantly over this period, reaching a generation of approximately 429 terawatt hours by 2050.
