This Sunday on European Solar Day, we celebrate the power of the sun \u2013 and the energy it brings to all our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coordinated by SolarPower Europe, this year\u2019s theme is \u2018Solar Stories\u2019. It\u2019s a day to recognise how solar is already part of daily life across Europe: powering homes, supporting communities, strengthening biodiversity and helping businesses cut emissions.<\/p>\n

To celebrate, Lightsource bp highlights the real experience behind our projects across Europe. Our EMEA regional teams work together to realise these stories every day across our projects and partnerships.<\/p>\n

\u201cEurope has quadrupled its solar capacity in a decade. The fundamentals are strong, the demand is real, and solar remains one of the most investable parts of the energy transition. At Lightsource bp, our projects now generate enough low carbon electricity to power hundreds of thousands of homes, and with 14.2GW development track record alongside a 52GW+ development pipeline, we are making a significant contribution to Europe\u2019s energy transition.\u201d<\/em>
