Global Market Outlook For Solar Power

Offshore wind is the primary supplier of CO2-free electricity moving towards decarbonising the Dutch power system. The installed capacity aims to increase sevenfold to 21.5 GW by 2030. However, the current market trends of increasing renewable capacity, industrial electrification, gas and CO2 prices, the expansion of interconnection, and the need for grid reinforcements are making the power market more volatile. These trends, together with the phasing out of subsidies, result in increasing the risks for offshore wind business.

With subsidy schemes being gradually phased out across Europe, renewable energy assets are entering the world of merchant risk management and energy trading. Whilst PPAs are one tool to set a baseline for prices that can be relied upon by developers and banks, there remains a price risk when exposed to wholesale market movements. For several decades, energy trading has primarily been the territory of utilities, trading houses and banks. Now, renewable energy project developers and offtakers exposed to wholesale prices must learn how to employ the financial products available to manage the risk exposure to variable prices.

Power outages are on the rise and grid resiliency is a growing concern. The number and intensity of severe weather events are increasing. Physical and cyber attacks are a growing threat. And aging grid infrastructure complicates system management. These metrics signal a need for grid infrastructure updates - and an exciting opportunity to rethink the grid and re-examine outdated concepts in power delivery that no longer serve the energy users of today.

Peninsula Clean Energy is leading the charge to fight climate change by radically transforming the electricity sector. We have one of the most aggressive renewable energy goals in the world: Providing our 310,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers with renewable energy on an hourly basis by 2025. Over the last two years, we have built, tested, and leveraged a new 24/7 clean energy procurement modeling tool, MATCH (Matching Around-The-Clock Hourly energy), to answer the critical questions: What is the optimal 24/7 renewable energy portfolio, how much will it cost, what are the emissions reduction benefits, and what are the impacts to the broader energy system?

The role of hydrogen as a key decarbonisation tool has become the subject of significant international interest. Over 30 countries have published hydrogen roadmaps, industry has announced over 200 hydrogen projects, and governments worldwide have committed more than USD70 billion in public funding.1 Hydrogen is a uniquely versatile fuel that can be used in a range of applications as a replacement for fossil fuels. Low-carbon hydrogen has come to be seen as a vital energy carrier for hard-to-abate sectors – where decarbonisation faces technical, operational and economic obstacles, such as the steel and heavy-duty trucking industries

Decarbonising our societies and economies is arguably the biggest challenge of this century. However, large parts of industry, agriculture or sea transport cannot be decarbonised directly with green electricity. Green hydrogen is therefore key to bringing their CO2 emissions to net zero. As this view becomes increasingly established, green H2 project announcements are skyrocketing. Consequently, green hydrogen is also gaining in importance for investors.
