measurementAt 25–80% penetration in the electricity mix of the European Union, India, Japan, and South Korea by 2050, solar energy may occupy 0.5–5% of total land.

measurementUtility-Scale Solar Energy (USSE) land occupation is projected to range from 0.5% to 2.8% of total territory in the EU, 0.3% to 1.4% in India, and 1.2% to 5.2% in Japan and South-Korea, assuming solar energy accounts for 25% to 80% of the electricity mix.

referenceThe study focuses on the European Union, India, and the combined region of Japan and South Korea as areas where high solar energy penetration is likely to induce land competition.
