How has teleworking impacted solar energy demand in Luxembourg?

The high number of sunshine hours in spring coupled with an increase in the photovoltaic surface area over recent years have been key factors in reaching a historical peak of solar energy in Luxembourg in March and April 2020. In addition, teleworking during the weeks of lockdown had a positive influence on electricity demand, which declined.

How will Luxembourg contribute to energy independence?

Luxembourg is already participating in cross-border renewable energy projects and is committed to expanding its role in collaborative projects such as those related to offshore wind energy in the North Sea and hydrogen corridors, to contribute to the EU's goal of energy independence.

Will Luxembourg transition to climate neutrality?

The transition to climate neutrality seems to be making great strides. With 306.3 hours of sunshine in April, which is well above average, the exceptional weather was one of the reasons behind the historical peak of solar energy in Luxembourg.

How does the NZIA support Luxembourg?

In line with the NZIA's goal of manufacturing, at least 40% of clean technology needs within the EU by 2030, investments in local infrastructure such as solar energy projects in Luxembourg are being promoted. Luxembourg participates in projects financed by the EU Innovation Fund, which supports innovative industrial initiatives.
