Solar+: An EU pathway to achieve renewable targets, price affordability, and energy security
5 May 2026
Solar+ provides a scenario‑based analysis of Europe’s power system to 2030, comparing a business‑as‑usual trajectory with a higher‑ambition pathway centred on solar, storage, and electrification
‘Solar+: An EU pathway to achieve renewable targets, price affordability, and energy security’ is a scenario‑based power system analysis developed by SolarPower Europe, with modelling support from Rystad Energy.
The report examines how Europe’s electricity system could evolve by 2030 under two contrasting scenarios: a business‑as‑usual trajectory reflecting current deployment trends, and a higher‑ambition Solar+ scenario that accelerates the rollout of solar PV, battery storage, and electrification.
Using power system modelling, the report assesses how different deployment pathways affect system costs, electricity prices, and energy security.
