In Belgium at least it’s really getting to the point where we need serious storage, supply is now significantly out of balance with demand.
Having said that, it’s a peculiar time of year and weather this month.
Very dry, nearly constant sunshine but also strong wind. Not so warm people start using air conditioning but warm enough with all the sun they barely need heating.

Moving away from gas and oil is the obvious choice for the EU since we don’t have either.
Solar is even better for southern countries, since they need AC in summer.
IMO our energy mix should mostly be nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectricity with a small part for Biogas (limited to waste).
I think the swiss use hydroelectricity as storage too.
