grid congestion

Providing transparent data on grid capacity and connection requests has become “critical” to identifying bottlenecks as grid congestion becomes an increasing impediment to new renewable energy projects.

A study from consultancy LCP Delta has underlined the importance of flexibility to Europe’s energy transition as the dominance of renewable energy generation grows.  

This could be a sign of a “healthy, competitive marketplace" according to research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The deployment of grid infrastructure and energy storage is a key element to avoid delaying global energy transition, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

Consultancy DNV has forecast transmission grid congestion in the next few years to hinder renewable energy deployment in Spain.

Solar, storage and other renewables projects are facing unprecedented interconnection queues in some parts of the US. Jonathan Touriño Jacobo reports on the struggle solar and storage developers are facing in getting projects off the ground and the efforts underway to ease the problem.

With more than 1TW of solar waiting for grid connection, PV Tech Premium looks at where the PV capacity is queued up in the US.

PV Tech Premium spoke with analysts about the rejection of phasing out the net metering scheme and the subsidy for manufacturing modules and batteries.

Italian grid operator Terna has planned to invest €16.5 billion (US$18 billion) in the next five years to strengthen and expand Italy’s transmission grid.

Several European countries have underestimated the deployment of solar PV by 205GW by 2030, according to energy think tank Ember’s latest report.
