"The world is entering a new geopolitical energy era focussed on Net-Zero and fuelled by the global solar boom“, Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe says.
„Europe must take action now. The continent needs to strengthen its resilience in strategic clean energy value chains.“
„Solar PV is the key to the European and global energy transition. Reinforcing European solar’s place in the world today will define our energy landscape tomorrow“, Hemetsberger underlines.
Mobilize € 30bn of finance for gigafactories
To meet the official EU goal of 30 GW of solar PV manufacturing by 2025, the European Commission and European leaders will need to mobilise € 30bn of finance for solar PV and inverter gigafactories, SolarPower Europe demands.
A fit-for-purpose finance framework needs to be underpinned by ESG-based criteria for ‘best-in-class’ solar PV, supporting the competitive edge of European products.” (hcn)
