solar targets

Portugal has updated its national energy and climate plan (NECP) and targets an installed capacity of 20.4GW of solar PV by 2030.

As trade bodies call for Ukraine to reach 50% renewables in its power mix by 2030, it will need to install 17GW of solar PV.

The global solar community has called for “robust and fast policies” alongside increased international cooperation to accelerate PV deployment and the energy transition.

SolarPower Europe has called on the EU to increase its renewable energy target to 45% by 2030, which it said would result in an extra 210GW of solar capacity installed and put the continent on a strong trajectory to reach climate neutrality by 2050

US Department of Energy (DOE) secretary Jennifer Granholm has announced a new National Community Solar Partnership (NCSP) target to have community solar projects provide 26GW of power and create US$1 billion in bill savings by 2025.

New York has installed 3GW of solar power across the state, according to the office of Governor Andrew Cuomo, bringing the state's total pipeline to 5.7GW

Japan is aiming to have 108GW of solar capacity by 2030, 1.7 times higher than the country’s previous target.

Energy Ministry’s roadmap would invest US$23bn to unlock a solar boom by 2030, pushing PV generation share to peaks of 80% and positioning Middle Eastern state as ‘world leader’.
