In recent years, the Baltic countries have experienced a solar generation boom as the region seeks to kill two birds with one stone. These nations aim to break away from years-long energy dependence on Russia amid growing security concerns while also continuing to prioritize the green energy transition.

    Given the wild imbalance between summer- and winter-time solar generation (in Germany it’s an order of magnitude, and further north, in the Baltics, it’d be more), it’d probably be a good idea to overbuild solar capacity and have some energy storage with a year time frame like pumped hydro, storing summer surplus for the winter.
