DOE releases new transmission interconnection

In an effort to address the growing backlog of clean energy projects waiting to be connected to the grid, the Department of Energy (DOE) has released a new roadmap outlining potential solutions.. The Transmission

Acute Shortage of Solar Equipment Poses Risks to the Power Sector

Yet PV module (i.e., panel) imports have been falling abruptly rather than increasing to meet this demand. From July 2021 through March 2022, imports fell to 1.7 GW per month down from a

Chart: The US clean energy backlog is getting bigger

Energy developers are more eager than ever to build new solar, wind, and battery projects in the U.S. As of December 2023, proposed projects encompassing nearly 2, 600 gigawatts (GW) — or 2. 6 terawatts — were

Rebuilding Europe''s solar supply chain | McKinsey

China''s solar-PV industry''s scale-up has been rapid—from zero to 300 GW capacity in some 15 years. 4 Global market outlook for solar power 2022–2026, SolarPower Europe, May 2022. While European

The End of Life of PV Systems: Is Europe Ready for It?

Like other plants, every photovoltaic (PV) power plant will one day reach the end of its service life. Calculations show that 96,000 tons of PV module waste will be generated worldwide by 2030 and 86 million tons by

Building a competitive solar-PV supply chain in Europe

Europe is planning a major ramp-up of solar-photovoltaic (PV)-based electricity to address its energy challenges, which include meeting its climate ambitions, managing a large part of its electrification, decarbonizing

Electrical grid interconnection backlog grew 30% in 2023

The backlog of new power generation and energy storage seeking transmission connections across the U.S. grew again in 2023, with nearly 2,600 GW of generation and storage capacity now actively seeking grid
