Embracing change

Following a landmark COP28 in Dubai, 130 national governments have committed to tripling the world’s installed renewable energy generation capacity. The February edition of pv magazine global takes a look at how solar will power the transition – and asks how steps taken at the UAE conference might affect the global PV industry.
We sit down with COP28 CEO Adnan Z. Amin, formerly the Director General of IRENA, to hear his thoughts on how achievable the summit’s key renewables pledge really is, where the roadblocks to progress are, and how critical price declines will be to hitting 2030 generation targets.

Description

Tripling renewables generation by the end of this decade will require significant gains in emerging and expanding PV markets. Bulgaria is a new entrant to Europe’s solar “gigawatt club” – can solar momentum be sustained in the face of numerous challenges? Further east, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan have all set ambitious goals to boost solar generation, but each nation’s relationship with the European Union could prove pivotal to progress.
With the current fiercely competitive price dynamic, vertical integration is emerging as a vital strategy in surviving oversupply. The February edition includes an expansive feature on how highly integrated, gigawatt-scale solar factory projects are progressing around the globe. A well-established way of doing business in China, could vertically integrating manufacturing plants open doors in Europe, India the United States and elsewhere?
