Grid investment isn’t only about supporting solar deployment, we also hear how it can have significant national security implications. pv magazine hears how the war in Ukraine has motivated Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to accelerate plans to decouple from the Soviet-era electricity network they share with Russia.
Further east, we hear how small-scale distributed PV in China is now butting up against the same grid constraint problems that have frustrated utility-scale PV developers. We look at the current situation and the proposed solutions to support further growth of residential solar in China.
pv magazine Global covers the global PV industry and is published only in English.
Down to the wires
Solar is booming across Europe, but ageing grid infrastructure now creates significant pressure on project pipelines. Much of the architecture underpinning European electricity networks was designed with coal-fired power in mind – it’s no longer fit for purpose.
In the June edition of pv magazine global, we examine grid congestion across Europe and beyond. Growing curtailment, frustrating connection queues, the role of storage and the need for grid investment are all under the microscope as we take an in-depth look at one of the most pressing issues facing renewables today.
