Contributing sentiments towards policy:

75% : Solar power generation reached a new record in the EU over the summer months as supplies from oil, gas, hydropower and nuclear were all squeezed during the energy crisis.
66% : Poland had the biggest increase in solar power generation in the past five years, with a 26-fold increase between the summer of 2018 and the summer of 2022, Ember said.
65% :Finland, Hungary, Lithuania and the Netherlands had also seen big increases in solar power generation over that period, it added.
63% : Solar power generated 99.4 terawatt hours of electricity between May and August.
62% : The share of solar power in electricity generation was highest in the Netherlands, at 23 per cent, and Germany, at 19 per cent.
58% : Even so, the intermittent nature of solar power means it has to be complemented with other power sources that can generate electricity at night, such as gas or coal-fired power plants.
55% : Solar power generation saved the EU 20bn cubic metres' worth of gas imports during the four months, Ember estimated, assuming that all solar was replacing gas.
