Eclipse affects Europe's energy supply
The upcoming solar eclipse on August 12 will lead to a reduction of approximately 9.7 gigawatts in solar power generation across Europe, equivalent to the output of two or three nuclear power plants. A rapid shift in the electricity generation structure is expected between 19:15 and 21:30 Central European Time during the eclipse. The European Commission has prepared for this event by holding a technical meeting with grid operators and issuing proactive measures to ensure network stability. These include providing control authorities with guidance, alerting the energy market, updating weather forecasts, and avoiding scheduled power disconnections during the eclipse. Additionally, the Transmission System Operators' network has formed a team to monitor the situation. It is worth noting that solar energy accounted for about 13% of the European Union’s electricity production in 2025. The preparations aim to minimize the impact of the sudden decrease in solar output on the stability of the electrical grid.
