Space solar power study outlines potential role in Europes clean energy future
London, UK (SPX) Aug 22, 2025 Space-based solar power could significantly reshape Europe's energy system by 2050, according to new research in the journal Joule. The study estimates the technology could reduce Europe's reliance on Earth-based wind and solar generation by up to 80% while lowering overall grid costs by 7% to 15%. Researchers modeled the European energy system in 2050 using two NASA-developed designs for
Towards an Energy Revolution? Europe Could Draw 80% of Its Renewable From Space Solar Panels by 2050
In the face of the irregularity of terrestrial renewable energies, the idea of capturing solar energy from space is attracting more and more experts. While Europe aims at carbon neutrality by 2050, a study conducted by researchers at King's College London and Jiaotong University in Xi的an, published in the journal Joule, proposes an ambitious alternative: using satellites in orbit to provide up to 80% of the continent's renewable energy needs. Th…
Solar Panels in Space Could Power 80% of Europe’s Renewable Energy
Solar panels placed in space could transform Europe’s energy future by supplying up to 80% of the continent’s renewable power needs by 2050, according to a new study from King’s College London. The research suggests that this system, based on a NASA design, could lower overall energy system costs by 15% and cut battery use by more than two-thirds. Land-based renewables, which depend on weather and daylight, but space-based solar power (SBSP) wor…
