The Dutch solar trade body Holland Solar has called for the government to reverse its decision to limit PV deployments on agricultural land.  

Network operator Liander publishes list of areas where requests will be temporarily held after finding PV roll-out doubled almost everywhere in its catchment area last year.

Solar industry joins clean energy players slamming move by network operators to temporarily halt project additions until grid has had time to expand.

France and the Netherlands put forward new renewable support measures and lay out how far they are willing to go subsidising PV, wind and others.

Solar industry hails changes to motion that would have halted new PV projects on farming and natural land until impacts were fully understood.

Government minister notes solar’s ‘striking’ dominance as industry reaps €3.2bn of €6bn round and applies for €2.9bn of further €5bn to be awarded.

Land prices and other factors will slow but not stop the transition of PV market that has learned to adapt to densely populated reality, says Holland Solar board member.
