Talk of session: Global & European Decarbonization Strategies: Discussing the Long-Term Role of Solar Power

With solar power having added more capacity than all other power generation technologies combined in recent years, governments around the world have been increasingly putting solar at the heart of their decarbonization strategies. Next to China, the European Union probably has the most ambitious PV targets. Through its first Solar Strategy, the European Commission has defined targets for solar capacity growth of around 50 percent to 400 GWac (500 GWdc) until 2025, and another 50 percent by 2030.

This session will cover:

  • Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2023-2027 (report launch)
  • The role of solar power in global and European decarbonization policies
  • Policies and business strategies for the rapid deployment of extensive solar capacities
