The installation of more solar panels played a leading role in addressing the increased electricity and cooling demand during heatwaves.
documented that the Land Surface Temperature in some Extremadura areas exceeded 140 degrees Fahrenheit on July 11, 2023.
This resulted in a higher solar energy output in July – a month renowned for its abundant sunshine. The energy output surpassed any previous month on record.noted, “data from Ember showed solar provided almost 24 percent of Spain's electricity in July this year, up from 16 percent in July 2022.”Past experiences in Sicily have shown that solar covered the peak in cooling demand during soaring temperatures on July 24, making up to nearly half of the excess demand – 1.
However, solar cannot hold grids under severe strain, but higher solar output helped satisfy demand in both Sicily and Greece.In Greece, solar photovoltaics covered 3.5GW of the total 10.35 during peak demand on July 24, the IPTO grid operator said. Simone Tagliapietra, a senior fellow at think tank Bruegel stated, “Our energy systems are indeed not designed to cope with such situations.”
