Europe’s shift to solar energy is facing a major obstacle: dust storms from Africa’s Sahara Desert. A new study presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2025 shows that Saharan dust reduces solar power output and complicates forecasting. The dust affects both Central and Southern Europe, risking long-term infrastructure damage and energy grid instability.
