This week's highlights, to 9 April 2023
Highlight :
The war in Ukraine and dependence on Russian gas have prompted the European Commission to impose a renewable energy development plan. The coincidence of this war with the end of covid confinement has disrupted the comparison of 2021 and 2022 installations. However, it is on the basis of this comparison that the European targets for renewable energy installations in 2025 and, above all, 2030 have been set. Are they reliable?
Above all, apart from the Commission and the European Parliament, who is prepared to commit to achieving these targets?

2nd secondary point The war in Ukraine is a good thing, but coal is still very much in demand around the world. Clearly its economic role is not yet over.
3rd point (subsidiary) At a time when solar panels are reaching a ceiling of 21%, and 25% in the laboratory, this level of efficiency is a sobering thought, given that all residential needs can be met with a battery. Self-consumption is not far off.

Other interesting points The volume of tenders should make up for the failure of the previous call for tenders, which was disrupted by a lack of understanding of the regulations.
In June, an exceptional 2.3 GW PV call for tenders
