Renewable energy's share of the generation mix, already substantial in several European countries, is rising fast. Richard Swann, David Jones and Henry Edwardes-Evans discuss the rate of progress for wind, solar and other renewable sources towards the holy grail of 'grid parity'; declining equipment and production costs, and the reduction in subsidies; and the potential impact of a proposed offshore 'super grid', and other national interconnectors, on long-term power generation.
