Europe's solar dilemma: Bottlenecks and bright sides Energy Transition Today
-
- Business News
In this episode, we discuss the current state and future prospects of the solar energy sector in Europe, underscored by significant developments, challenges, and strategic shifts.
We begin with a closer look at X-ELIO's recent financial closure of its 123MWp solar portfolio in Spain, and then on to Romania's launch of its first solar and onshore wind contract for difference (CfD) tariff auction with €3 billion of state aid scheme approved by the European Commission. We also bring you the latest on France and Germany's solar tender results.
We also delve into prominent solar manufacturer Meyer Burger's strategic retreat from the European market. We unpack the reasons for this decision, place it in the context of the shifting picture of global supply chains and critical minerals, and discuss its potential impact on the market.
We also explore Norway's stance in combating climate change through its sixth licensing round for exploring seabed acreage for carbon capture and storage on the Norwegian continental shelf.
Also on this episode, we bring you inspiratia's latest county-focused analysis, unpacking key data points around the Finnish renewables market.
Finally, in a week that has seen the UK government commit to more natural gas infrastructure, just as it announces the second consultation on REMA, we discuss the difficulties of balancing energy security and sustainability.
