European Union Makes History: Solar Power Plants Replace Coal as Main Source of Electricity

For the first time in history, solar power production in the European Union has surpassed coal-fired power plants. A recent report released by the climate thinktank Ember shows that by 2024, solar power will contribute 11% of total electricity production in the European Union. In contrast, coal-fired power plants' contribution will shrink to 10%, indicating a significant decrease in dependence on fossil fuel sources.

This figure may seem small, but its success in overtaking coal, which has been the backbone of the energy industry for centuries, is an achievement that deserves a thumbs up.

This phenomenon marks the acceleration of the clean energy transition in Europe, driven by increasing solar power capacity and policies to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

The European Union is on track to achieve its ambitious target of having an installed solar power capacity of 400 gigawatts (GW) by 2025. Awesome!

Driving Factors for Solar Energy Growth

Some of the key factors driving solar energy’s surge over coal include:

1. Large Investments in Renewable Energy

The European Union has been aggressively building solar power generation capacity in recent years, especially in countries such as Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands.

2. Declining Coal Use

Europe’s coal consumption has steadily declined since 2018 due to stricter environmental policies and rising carbon prices, making coal-fired power plants less competitive.

3. Impact of the Global Energy Crisis

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2018 caused a spike in energy prices and prompted European countries to accelerate the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.

Positive Impacts for the Environment and Economy

Solar’s ​​success in outperforming coal brings several benefits to the environment and the EU’s economy. With more clean energy being produced, carbon emissions can be significantly reduced, supporting the emission reduction targets set in the Paris Agreement. In addition, the EU’s dependence on fossil fuel imports is reduced, increasing energy resilience amid geopolitical uncertainty.

However, challenges remain, especially in terms of infrastructure and grid stability. Intermittent solar energy requires more sophisticated storage and distribution systems to be optimally utilized.

With this trend, renewable energy is expected to continue to grow, while the role of coal in the EU's energy mix will continue to shrink. This success is clear evidence that the transition to clean energy is not only possible but also increasingly inevitable.

Implementation of the Rooftop Solar Power Quota System: Supporting the Stability of the National Electricity Grid

Since July 2024, the Indonesian government has officially implemented a quota system for installing rooftop Solar Power Plants (PLTS) connected to the PLN grid as stated in the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 2 of 2024. This policy is a strategic step in managing the integration of renewable energy into the national electricity system while supporting the energy transition target towards Net Zero emissions by 2060.

This quota system is designed to ensure that the use of rooftop PLTS is balanced with the capacity of the PLN grid, avoiding excess power that can disrupt the stability of the electricity system. In supporting the Net Zero Emission target of 2060 or sooner, the government has set a quota of 1.5 GW for Rooftop PLTS until 2028. Meanwhile, for each region, the Government sets a quota based on the system capacity which will be evaluated and updated periodically by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). The quota system will be opened in 2 periods a year, namely January and July.

In its implementation, prospective rooftop solar power users must first register their installations through the government's application or digital platform in January and July. This registration will include a technical verification process and quota allocation. If the quota in an area is full, prospective users can be put on a waiting list and will receive confirmation at the opening of the next period.

This quota system also includes an incentive scheme for users who successfully integrate high-efficiency rooftop solar power plants, such as installation fee discounts or carbon credits. Thus, it is hoped that the community will remain motivated to participate in the development of renewable energy, even though there are restrictions through quotas.

The government continues to educate the public and stakeholders regarding the implementation of this system, including its benefits in supporting national energy sustainability. With a planned and collaborative approach, the implementation of the quota system is expected to not only increase the efficiency of rooftop solar power plant use but also encourage innovation in renewable energy technology in the future.
