/BUCHAREST, May 3, 2024, 10:30 BST, GOVNET/ Join us at the forefront of sustainable innovation at the 2024 Romanian Solar Summit, where the solar energy industry will converge to explore, discuss, and shape the future of renewable energy in Romania. This premier conference, scheduled to take place on May 16, 2024 in Bucharest, invites professionals, policymakers, and enthusiasts to engage in a dynamic exchange of ideas, knowledge, and insights.

/BUCHAREST, September 2, 2024, 10:00 BST, GOVNET/ Govnet Romania is organizing, on September 19th, the third edition of the most appreciated event on renewable energy in Romania, the Romanian Renewable Energy Summit 2024 at the Paradisul Verde Events Estate Corbeanca. Romanian Renewable Energy Summit 2024 will bring together the most important active players in the renewable energy market, as well as companies from complementary spheres and authorities alike to facilitate partnerships, stimulate connections and inspire new business concepts to stimulate future project development and more.

/LONDON, April 19, 2023, 16:00 BST, SolarPlaza, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ After a long period of stagnation, the Romanian solar PV market has come to life again. With enhanced government support schemes, Romania is even expected to reach its 5 GW target for 2030 five years early. The second edition of the Solarplaza Summit Romania will pinpoint the opportunities and challenges of this high-potential market on the rise and provide a vital platform for knowledge and network sharing.

/SOFIA, March 17, 2023, 10:00 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ RE-Source Southeast is the go-to event for corporate sourcing of renewable energy in the SEE region! While self-consumption and on-site generation is still the prevailing choice for SEE corporates, the PPA market has the potential to catch up fast, as first deals have already been announced in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. Across Europe, high market prices tempted power producers to shift towards short-term PPAs and more active energy trading strategies with a rising focus on short-term hedges.

/LONDON, March 16, 2023, 11:00 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ Between 2012 and 2022, the Western Balkan Countries increased their solar power capacity 11 times. Western Balkans became one of the fastest-growing regions in Europe, with a 28.1 per cent increase in cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) installed capacity in 2022 compared with 2021. The number of fully permitted and ready-to-build projects is promptly increasing. The rooftop solar PV market segment in many countries in this region is underdeveloped and is forecasted to grow significantly. Energy demand in the region is constantly increasing,…

/BRUSSELS, March 14, 2023, 15:00 GMT, European Commission, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ Today, the Commission has proposed to reform the EU's electricity market design to accelerate a surge in renewables and the phase-out of gas, make consumer bills less dependent on volatile fossil fuel prices, better protect consumers from future price spikes and potential market manipulation, and make the EU's industry clean and more competitive. The EU has had an efficient, well-integrated electricity market for over twenty years, allowing consumers to reap the economic benefits of a single energy market, ensuring the security…

/LONDON, February 15, 2023, 9:00 GMT, PRNewswire/ The growth of the European solar power market in 2022 has exceeded all expectations. The cumulative installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Europe reached 244.3GW at the end of 2022, which is an almost 23 per cent increase compared to 198.8GW at the end of 2021, according to the recently published study Europe Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Market Outlook 2023 ÷ 2032. Germany was the largest market in 2022, adding 7.9 GW of new capacity, followed by Spain (7.5 GW), Poland (4.9 GW), Netherlands…

/LONDON, January 25, 2023, 9:30 GMT, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The current levels of dependence on fossil fuels, the need to reduce the carbon emissions associated with energy use and the prospects of developing a new and highly innovative European technology sector make distributed solar photovoltaic energy generation increasingly attractive. EU energy ministers agreed at the end of November 2022 on the content of a Council Regulation for a temporary framework to accelerate the permit-granting process and the deployment of renewable energy projects. Reduction of permitting burden shall contribute to corporate PPAs,…

/BRUSSELS, January 12, 2023, 10:00 GMT, SolarPower Europe/ The energy crisis is on everyone’s mind. Europe is faced with choices: reinforced dependency on fossil fuels, or stronger energy security? More LNG terminals, or more solar fields? Europe must opt for the right solution to fix the energy crisis. Only solar and renewables will take us out of the energy crisis, strengthen our security, and put us on track to achieve Europe’s urgent climate goals. The energy security finish line is in sight and Europe is equipped with an EU Solar Strategy. But…
