On Thursday 4 April, the CAN Europe coalition of environmental NGOs published an updated version of its report on the progress made by Member States in deploying photovoltaic solar energy on household rooftops.
The update of this report, first published in May 2022, assesses the impact of significant policy and regulatory changes in the EU, notably as part of the REPowerEU strategy, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the energy price crisis.
The report examines the good and bad practices of 11 EU Member States (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden) and rates them in a number of key areas: governance, incentives and support schemes, permitting and administrative procedures, energy sharing and collective self-consumption, energy communities, as well as any additional measures that the country is or is not implementing, such as awareness campaigns or programmes to address the shortage of workers.
France has the highest score (20), followed by Lithuania (19), Greece (18), Italy (18) and Germany (17), with the biggest gain in points in Romania (+7) and Greece (+5).
