- Canadian wildfires are reducing solar power generation in Europe
Canadian wildfires in 2023 caused a 3% reduction in solar power generation across Europe and North America, costing nearly $2 billion. Smoke from the fires increased CO2 emissions as fossil fuels compensated for lost solar energy. The study, led by Iulian-Alin Roșu and Matthew Jones, highlights the growing impact of wildfires on renewable energy systems.
