Romania is averaging 70% renewable production on sunny days
Solar is about 40%
Hydro fills in really nicely for solar and wind when conditions are rough
Number 1 issue right now is lack of storage capacity leading to nighttime imports and thus high bills, but that will hopefully be resolved in the coming years
People keep pointing to China, but there’s plenty European countries doing way better. The US is way behind. So is China
They’re ‘behind,’ because unlike Europe they’re trying to lift around a billion people out of poverty and have already lifted 800 million out of poverty while making practically all solar panels that the entire world installs.

The reason people keep pointing to China is because China’s solar generates around half the electricity of the EU does from all sources.
