permitting

The European Parliament has voted to accelerate the adoption of renewable power generation on the continent.

The Q3 2023 edition of our downstream solar PV journal, PV Tech Power, is now available to download, leading with a focus on solar in the US, one year on from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

The US's Council on Environmental Quality has proposed a rule that would streamline the permitting process for new renewable projects.

The CEO Alliance, which includes utilities Iberdrola and Enel, has released a policy paper which recommends the European Union to accelerate and simplify permitting procedures for renewables.

The European Council (EC) and Parliament have reached a provisional political agreement to raise its renewable energy share target to 42.5% by 2030.

If Portugal wants to bring forward its target to have 9GW of installed capacity by 2026 rather than the end of the decade, it will need to solve one of its main barriers it faces at the moment: permitting issues.

A lack of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) capacity in Spain represents a key challenge for the country’s solar industry as PV plant deployment soars and the government authorises gigawatts of new projects.

The European Commission has released its Green Deal Industrial Plan based upon four pillars aimed to scale up a domestic manufacturing capacity for net-zero technologies.

Power purchase agreements must become a mainstream tool for the development and energy supply of renewables, according to SolarPower Europe.

Fast solar project completion times mean the Baltics are becoming increasingly attractive to developers compared with other European markets.
