How does the EU support the European solar PV manufacturing sector?

Over the last years, the EU has taken initiatives to strengthen its support to the European solar PV manufacturing sector, which includes several globally competitive companies in several steps of the value chain.

What is solar photovoltaic (PV) power?

The steady rise of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation forms a vital part of this global energy transformation. In addition to fulfilling the Paris Agreement, renewables are crucial to reduce air pollution, improve health and well-being, and provide affordable energy access worldwide.

Will BNZ get a €166 million loan for solar power?

The European Investment Bank (EIB) and BNZ have signed a €166 million loan to support the deployment of 17 solar photovoltaic plants across Spain, Italy and Portugal. This is the first tranche of a €500 million loan approved by the EIB to support BNZ’s roll-out of 1.7 GW of solar photovoltaic power in Southern Europe by the end of 2026.

Is solar PV a strategic renewable technology?

This report clearly points out that solar PV is one of the strategic renewable technologies needed to realise the global energy transformation in line with the Paris climate goals. The technology is available now, could be deployed quickly at a large scale and is cost-competitive.

Why is solar PV investing so much?

The total volume of investment in solar PV is being heavily influenced by the technology’s falling costs. It rose steadily from USD 120 billion in 2013 to reach record high levels of USD 179 billion in 2015 as deployment accelerated faster than falling costs.
