66 MEETING EUROPE’S RENEWABLE ENERGY TARGETS IN HARMONY WITH NATURE The NREAPs suggest consumption of electricity from solar PV will grow from a negligible amount in 2005 to 7 Mtoe in 2020. According to EREC (2011a) analysis of the NREAPs, 2.35% of EU electricity consumption in 2020 will be derived from solar PV. FIGURE 7 3.2.2 CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER A further 2 Mtoe (0.2%) of energy consumed in 2020 is expected to be provided by CSP. More than three quarters of this will be located in Spain, as illustrated in Figure 7. EREC (2011a) analysis suggests that 0.5% of the EU’s electricity will be provided by “solar thermal electricity” by 2020. Additional solar PV power in EU energy FIGURE 8 consumption in 2020 compared to 2005, by Member State [ktoe] iv Additional concentrated solar power in EU energy consumption in 2020 compared to 2005, by Member State [ktoe] iv As Figure 7 shows, just under half of this additional PV capacity will be installed in Germany. Spain, Italy and France also plan to make significant use of solar PV. Strong, sustained support for the PV sector in countries such as Germany is rapidly driving down costs. Germany has also demonstrated that very significant electricity generation is possible relying almost exclusively on rooftop installations. While southern European countries have the greatest solar energy resource, the UK, Netherlands and Belgium have recognised its potential as a clean energy source in northern Europe. By applying some readily achievable safeguards (Section 2.2 above), and with greater ambition and support from many Member States, solar power has huge potential as a major source of clean and ecologically benign electricity across Europe. Current low ambitions in many Member States are a missed opportunity, and mean higher risk technologies will be used to meet the 2020 targets. CSP is a relatively novel technology compared to solar PV, and has very significant potential. With six countries now intending to develop CSP facilities, the sector should benefit from technical advances. This demonstrates the value of binding renewable energy targets for stimulating technological innovation.
