Transmission Planning for a High Renewable Energy Future: Lessons from the Texas Competitive Renewable Energy Zones Process

The Clean Energy Solutions Center, in partnership with the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21), hosted this webinar on the launch of REN21’s newest report: Renewables Global Futures Report: Great Debates Towards 100% Renewable Energy. To achieve a clean energy transition there needs to be an open and frank discussion about the feasibility of achieving it with renewables and energy efficiency and what related macroeconomic impacts might be. The stakes are high financially, environmentally and socially and as the transition progresses, there will be clear winners and losers.

Over the last four years, the deployment of floating solar has grown more than a hundredfold, surpassing the milestone threshold of 1 GW in September 2018. Although the vast majority of deployments in floating solar are currently limited to Asia, the technology is starting to make waves in Europe as well with various multi-megawatt projects in the pipeline. Simon Gazdowics, Solar Consultant at Multiconsult, was joined by Thomas Boersma, Project Manager at Solarplaza, to discuss the opportunities and challenges involved with floating solar photovoltaics (FPV).

The Philippines, Indonesia,Vietnam among other countries in the SEA region have pursued renewable energy expansion program. But as installed solar capacity raises accross the region and pockets of know-how grow through it, solar deployment is only going to speed up.
