Tom Kenning on one of the most promising up-and-coming solar power players of Southern Europe, Greece. He asked experts about the challenges and opportunities for PV in the country.
Nearly 1TW of solar PV capacity had interconnection queues at the end of 2022, according to a research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).
Panellists during last month’s Large Scale Solar Europe event, hosted by PV Tech publisher Solar Media in Lisbon, discussed the issue of grid modernisation in Europe and how it affects the growth of solar PV across several European Union members.
The considerable expansion of Poland’s solar PV market looks set to continue, with interconnection issues standing as the only impediment to growth, according to panellists speaking at the Solar Finance & Investment Europe 2023 conference.
A 500kV, 125-mile transmission line between California and Arizona broke ground last week, promising to bring over 3GW of renewable energy capacity to the US Desert Southwest region.
Solar and energy storage deployment in the US could be accelerated under new proposals from the country’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) aimed at addressing significant backlogs in interconnection queues.
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has released a whitepaper outlining the reforms it believes are needed to the US interconnection system, in which it lays out a series of proposals for both regional transmission organisations (RTO) and the US-wide Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
