    Integrating Smart Networks for the Energy Transition: Serving Society and Protecting the Environment

    The Energy Roadmap 2050 of the European Commission and the Energy Union strategy fully support the aim of decarbonising the European economy. Building on the previous European Technology Platform on SG (Smart Grids) Vision, the European Energy Vision for 2030, the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan, the ETIP SNET Vision for 2050 is:

    A low-carbon, secure, reliable, resilient, accessible, cost-efficient, and market-based pan-European integrated energy system supplying the whole economy and paving the way for a fully CO2-neutral and circular economy by the year 2050, while maintaining and extending global industrial leadership in energy systems during the energy transition.

    Implementing the ETIP SNET Vision 2050 will require major investments for the large-scale deployment of energy conversion and storage devices, the upgrade and extension of the energy networks, and the use of digital solutions. These costs will be offset by the optimized welfare to society through the coupling of the various energy networks and their components as well as the avoided costs of climate change in the upcoming decades, while utilising locally available resources. As estimated by the IEA, the costs of not acting now could be worth several times the cost of investing against climate change.

    The ETIP SNET Vision 2050 is the basis for defining the specifications for further research and innovation needs in the transition from today towards Europe’s energy systems of the future. Its purpose is to inspire all stakeholders to discover the RD&I challenges associated with a 2050 low-carbon, fully-integrated, and circular pan-European energy system with the electricity system as its backbone.

  • Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013-2017

    European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA)

    The "Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013-2017" includes PV market figures for 2012 and makes forecasts for the next five years for global and European markets. The world added more than 31 GW of new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in 2012 – roughly the same amount as in the record-setting year of 2011. This significant market growth came even during a period of economic crisis and industry consolidation.

    The results show clearly that Europe’s leading role in driving the global…

    The "Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics 2013-2017" includes PV market figures for 2012 and makes forecasts for the next five years for global and European markets. The world added more than 31 GW of new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in 2012 – roughly the same amount as in the record-setting year of 2011. This significant market growth came even during a period of economic crisis and industry consolidation.

    The results show clearly that Europe’s leading role in driving the global PV market is coming to an end. In 2011, Europe accounted for more than 70% of the world’s new PV installations; in 2012 this number was around 55%. In 2013 it is almost certain that the majority of new PV capacity in the world will be installed outside of Europe.

    The study sheds also some light on the industry evolution and the technology trends until 2017, focusing mostly on the capacities and actual production of major parts of the value chain per region.

  • “Connecting the Sun: Solar photovoltaics on the road to large-scale grid integration”

    European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA)

    In many ways, PV is already providing grid-integration solutions. PV is meeting a growing share of electricity demand at increasingly competitive cost without creating undue strain on the power system. By making smart choices now to improve energy infrastructure, European policymakers can ensure that the EU’s ambitious energy and decarbonisation goals are met.

    In many ways, PV is already providing grid-integration solutions. PV is meeting a growing share of electricity demand at increasingly competitive cost without creating undue strain on the power system. By making smart choices now to improve energy infrastructure, European policymakers can ensure that the EU’s ambitious energy and decarbonisation goals are met.

    The increasing role played by renewable energy sources, including PV, requires a new perspective on Europe’s power system management. Under all scenarios envisioned for the coming decades, PV will play an important part of Europe’s electricity mix – as much as 25% by 2030. “Connecting the Sun: Solar photovoltaics on the road to large-scale grid integration”, shows how Europe’s electricity system can integrate high levels of solar PV in the coming decades

  • Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaic until 2016

    EPIA

    Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity continued its remarkable growth trend in 2011, even in the midst of a financial and economic crisis and even as the PV industry was enduring a period of consolidation. As they have for the past decade, PV markets again grew faster than anyone had expected both in Europe and around the world.

"Global Market Outlook for Photovoltaics until 2016", a new report from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA), assesses the European and global markets for PV in 2011, and makes forecasts for the next five years. It is based on an internal analysis of data from industry members, national associations, government agencies and electric utilities.

  • PV LEGAL Final Report

    PV LEGAL Project

    One year after the deadline for transposing the RES Directive, with which the EU aims to reach 20% of renewable energy sources (RES) by 2020, how well have Member States done in reducing bureaucratic barriers to the development of solar photovoltaic (PV) power? PV LEGAL, a two-and-a-half-year European initiative, answers this question in a new report looking at 12 key countries.

  • Reduction of bureaucratic barriers for successful PV deployment in Europe - Final report

    The PV LEGAL consortium, after analysing the barriers to the development of PV in each of the 12 participating European countries and confronting their results, has identified four main areas in which the barriers hampering PV installations in Europe can be classified:
    • Barriers in permitting procedures
    • Barriers related to grid connection rules
    and technical standards
    • Barriers in grid connection procedures
    • Barriers related to grid capacity issues

    In the context of the fast evolution of the European PV market in recent years, the need to permanently monitor market dynamics has led to the creation of the Photovoltaic Observatory. The Photovoltaic Observatory identifies recommended conditions for market development and best practices for the sustainable development of PV by basing its analysis on examining existing policies of several key countries. The Photovoltaic Observatory also focuses on relevant regulatory issues, financial incentives, administrative barriers and grid connection procedures.
    The policy recommendations summarise the main advises derived from best practices observed in the development of support policies throughout Europe.

    This project, co-financed by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme of the European Commission, aimed at identifying and promoting the use of some measures that could complement or replace the existing support schemes for the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy installations throughout Europe.

    This project, co-financed by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme of the European Commission, aimed at identifying and promoting the use of some measures that could complement or replace the existing support schemes for the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy installations throughout Europe.
    These instruments would boost the steady expansion of PV markets while bringing the highest possible benefits to the society and to the energy system and while entailing maximally optimized investments.

    Ultimately, these measures would help reducing the competitiveness gap of PV compared to fossil fuel technologies and they would sustain the further growth of PV markets once competitiveness is reached.
