Energy Transition 2030: Photovoltaics Accelerate the Renewable Energy Race
Global renewable energy capacity will continue to grow until 2030, driven by photovoltaics. Grids, storage, and simplified procedures will be key to consolidating the transition.
The path toward global decarbonization continues apace. According to the latest analyses of renewable energy development, installed capacity from clean sources is expected to grow significantly by 2030, driven particularly by photovoltaics . The expansion of renewable energy not only accelerates the energy transition but also strengthens security of supply, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
Photovoltaics at the heart of the world's new energy capacity
Solar photovoltaic (PV) continues to be the most dynamic and competitive technology in the international energy landscape. Its growth is fueled by the continued decline in module costs, improved efficiencies, and the support of policies aimed at energy independence.
By 2030, photovoltaic installations will represent an increasingly significant share of new global electricity capacity, making a crucial contribution to reducing emissions and diversifying the energy mix. The widespread adoption of rooftop systems, energy communities, and utility-scale plants highlights how photovoltaics has become a key technology, not only for electricity generation but also for grid stability.
Networks, storage, and integration: the challenges of the new growth phase
The rapid spread of renewables poses new infrastructure challenges. To ensure stable integration into the electricity system, it will be necessary to strengthen transmission and distribution networks, develop advanced storage systems, and promote the digitalization of infrastructure.
Alongside technological investments, streamlining authorization procedures and coordinated planning for new plants are also crucial steps to ensure continued growth. A systemic approach will transform the expansion of renewables into a structural advantage, capable of supporting electricity demand efficiently and sustainably.
Europe and Italy towards 2030: objectives and opportunities
In the European context, the growth of photovoltaic and wind power continues to be at the heart of strategies for achieving climate goals. Italy, in particular, is called upon to intensify investments and improve grid connection speeds to meet the milestones of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan.
New support policies, calls for proposals for businesses, and a focus on self-generation are essential tools for maintaining growth and strengthening the competitiveness of the national energy sector.
