To Infinity & Beyond: Reaching the 200GW Target in Europe

Synopsis

The EU currently stands at just over 60 GW total installed capacity and has its own Everest to climb before the decade comes to a close. Recommendations from the European Commission estimate that the industry will need around 200 GW of operational capacity by 2030, tripling to 600 GW in 2050. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has forecast that the global installed capacity of battery storage will need to rise from less than 200 GW to more than a terawatt by the end of the decade. So, what does the industry need to change, innovate, or completely shake up to get us there?
