Eclipse of 12 August: a temporary decline in solar electricity production expected in Europe

An eclipse is expected to occur between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM on August 12, during which up to 99% of the sun will be obscured in some regions of France, and completely blocked in northern Spain. This event will temporarily reduce solar energy production across Europe, particularly in areas where the eclipse is most pronounced. The reduction in sunlight will impact solar power generation, requiring grid operators to manage supply and demand accordingly.
