Italian Solar Generation Surpasses Wind for First Time

Italian Solar Generation Surpasses Wind for First Time Renewables Now Meet One-Quarter of Italy's Electricity Supply Solar Produces Nearly Twice Italy's Famed Geothermal Power Plants Italy's Per Capita Solar Five Times that of California August 30, 2012 By Paul Gipe As Italian solar photovoltaic (solar PV) development continues its furious pace, data has emerged that solar out produced the country's wind turbines in 2011. This may be the first time that a developed country has generated more electricity with solar PV than with wind energy. Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) reports that not only did solar PV development grow dramatically in Italy during 2011, as widely reported, but that solar PV generated nearly 10.7 TWh of electricity for slightly more than 3% of internal consumption. Wind turbines, on the other hand, generated only 10.1 TWh for slightly less than 3% o...

En Italie en 2011, la production PV (10,7 TWh) a dépassé celle de l'éolien (10,1 TWh). Une première en Europe. [link]
