Opportunity! Some European countries usher in a new dawn for renewable energy development

Some European countries have ushered in a new dawn of renewable energy development. In contrast, other European countries are likely to adopt retroactive subsidies to cut back and bring the industry back to its lowest point. The bright side is that Poland and Greece are implementing more. A major step forward in the auction of multiple renewable energy projects, we predict that competition will become fierce in Greece’s first-round auction in the third quarter and Poland’s first-round auction in the fourth quarter. In addition, Italy is also planning to introduce new The system supports the construction of 6.3 GW renewable energy projects in the country. In Spain, the winners of two 2017 onshore power generation project auctions have also gone one step further in the project construction process, although we still predict that some projects will not be completed on time. .

Offshore wind power has been actively supported by policies. For example, an 800MW offshore wind power project was included in Denmark's forthcoming energy strategy; in Belgium's new energy agreement, it plans to build 4GW offshore wind power capacity by 2030, and 8GW of photovoltaic power. Installed capacity and 4.2GW of onshore wind power installed capacity.

In addition to the plan to bid for another 700MW of renewable energy projects in 2018, the Netherlands also tends to auction its 7GW offshore wind project. The Dutch government, while considering funding future offshore wind power operations, still hopes to be able to bid The winner of the zero subsidy. However, the Netherlands also faces the challenge of sea congestion in the north and land grid blocking.

Of the five blue countries in the picture, three countries are currently considering retroactive subsidies. For example, for offshore wind projects with a total capacity of 3 GW in 2012 and 2014, the French government hopes to re-negotiate with developers. On-grid price. BNEF predicts that the two parties will eventually reach a compromise and the on-grid tariff will be lowered. As compensation developers will be allowed to use larger fans.

The Bulgarian government is also trying to persuade investors larger than 4 MW in renewable energy projects to abandon the original quota tariff system and accept the new quota subsidy system. The last time Bulgaria reduced its renewable energy subsidies was in 2012, after which Bulgaria’s clean energy Investment has plummeted.
