Eurosolar 25 years Book Cover

25 Years of EUROSOLAR - From Seizing the Initiative to Being A Pioneer - From Vision to Practice

2013 marked the 25th year of EUROSOLAR, the European Association for Renewable Energy. The chronology "25 Years of EUROSOLAR: From Seizing the Initiative to Being A Pioneer – From Vision to Practice" was presented on August 24, 2013 to document and celebrate EUROSOLAR’s initial 25 years. The book presents how EUROSOLAR was founded, how first activities were initiated and how first goals were achieved by the engagement of EUROSOLAR on different political levels. All activities are presented in the context of energy politics and they show how passionately EUROSOLAR has been fighting for a power supply with 100% renewable energy - and what successes they have had!

EUROSOLAR was set up in 1988 to work independently of political parties, institutions and companies in pursuit of a vision: substituting fossil fuels and nuclear energysystems with a sustainable, peaceful and renewable energy-based supply, founded on decentralized local resources close to the citizens. In his speech at the founding conference on 22 August 1988, Hermann Scheer, founder and Honorary President of EUROSOLAR (1944 – 2010), stressed: “Anyone who has his eyes wide open about all conventional en-ergy supply sources must see that humanity has no choice but to pursuethe introduction of renewable solar energy as quickly and widely as pos-sible“. To realize his visionary goals he founded EUROSOLAR, supportedby a group of like-minded citizens, scientists and politicians who shared his concerns, a quarter century ago. After more than two decades of commitment EUROSOLAR has achieved successes for renewable sources of energy in all areas and at alllevels. The not-for-profit has influenced energy and environmental policy and has inspired the creation of a social and cultural movement for renewable energy.
