Solar Market Parity Portugal (1)

With a successful PV auction yielding record-low bids, the approval of a new ‘National Plan for Energy and Climate for 2030’, and over 1GW of new solar additions, the year 2020 was a monumental one for the Portuguese solar market. Now - in a Covid-19-influenced reality - the 760 MW of solar capacity that was allocated during the auction is being pushed through the development pipeline. Meanwhile, new auctions are being planned, with adjusted rules and specific stipulations for floating solar development set to be announced shortly. The market is not without its challenges either. As in many maturing markets, grid capacity issues and energy storage considerations are becoming an increasingly important part of the puzzle.

All these elements will be touched upon in the comprehensive conference program, which will also dive into topics such as post-Covid-19 project financing, project development experiences, and insights into the rise of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). As always, Solarplaza emphasizes networking-building, for which there will be ample opportunities throughout the day.

Sungrow will be participating in this conference as a lead partner. Our expert in the market, Iker Labiano will be presenting our case and Sungrow's involvement in the market.
