The EU's solar and wind capacity rose by 65 percent from 2019 to 2023, with Germany's biggest contribution, according to an analysis by the Imber Energy Research Center. Germany accounted for 22 percent of the bloc's increase, followed by Spain at 13 percent. More than half of the EU's 27 countries doubled their wind and solar capacity during that period.

The bloc's solar capacity more than doubled from 2019 to 2023, reaching 257 gigawatts last year. Over the past four years, this is equivalent to installing more than 230,000 solar units per day. In addition, wind capacity increased by almost a third to 219 GW.
