The U.S. Electric Power Company of Georgia has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on approximately 1030 MW of utility-scale renewable energy power generation capacity, which will be put into use in 2023 and 2024. A subsidiary of Utilities Southern Corporation said on Monday that the competitive tender will be launched in the first quarter of next year. In addition to renewable energy projects, RFP will also seek offers for renewable energy capacity with integrated battery storage. The consulting firm Accion Group Inc has been hired as an independent evaluator for the process. RfP will be held as part of Georgian Power’s 2019 Integrated Resources Plant and will be in line with the company’s efforts to diversify its power generation portfolio and expand its renewable energy supply, adding 2 GW of utility-scale capacity. The company has already operated more than 2.7 GW of wind, solar and hydropower stations, and will add another 2.7 GW by the end of 2024.

According to a recent report by Brazilian consulting firm Greener, between January and September 2021, the average price of solar modules imported into the Brazilian photovoltaic market rose by 20.4%. The current average price of imported single crystal PERC modules is US$0.24/W, an increase of 3.95% from the average price in August. Greener believes that prices will continue to rise, possibly until 2022. Despite price increases, imports continue to grow. Since January, about 6,641 MW of photovoltaic modules and 6,890 MW of inverters have been imported. Module imports in September reached 672 MW, lower than the level of the first five months of this year, but an increase of 121.5% year-on-year. Single-sided modules accounted for 57.3% of the monthly total, and high-power modules (above 500 W) accounted for 30%, 209 MW.

According to a report by Le Figaro on November 3, French Minister of Ecological Transformation Pompili said in an interview with the media on Wednesday that the French government will introduce 10 policies to encourage the development of photovoltaic power generation industry. It is estimated that by 2025, France will build 1,000 photovoltaic power generation projects on public land. The government encourages the development of photovoltaic industry on wasteland (instead of artificially changing soil properties), and strives to add 3 million kilowatt-hours of photovoltaic power annually in the future. It is estimated that by 2028, France's photovoltaic power generation capacity will be three times the current. According to data from the French Grid Corporation (RTE), the proportion of photovoltaic power generation in France in 2020 is only 2.5%.

According to local daily newspaper Yeni Shafak, Turkey will increase the share of renewable energy in energy production starting from 2022 The report added that the highest capacity growth in 2022 is expected to occur in the field of solar production, which is about 1,000MW (1GW). The 2023 strategic plan of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy in total electricity production capacity from 59% to 65%. In Turkey's total installed capacity of 100,000 MW, renewable energy has reached 54,000 MW. Recently, Turkey reached the 10GW wind energy milestone. Cem Ozkok, chairman of the GUYAD Renewable Energy Investors Association, said that Turkey is extremely rich in natural resources, domestic resources, and renewable resources, such as wind, solar, hydro and geothermal. Ozkok emphasized that "Turkey wants to meet half of our electricity demand through renewable energy, and the ratio of our installed capacity to existing capacity must be at least 70%. This means about 35% of non-HEPP renewable energy. In other words. In other words, the goal should be to put into operation at least 5GW of renewable energy every year." He added that the system infrastructure should be reviewed to increase Turkey's renewable energy capacity. Ozkok said that because these projects require a large amount of capital, foreign investors should participate in Turkey's renewable energy transformation process. In addition, he emphasized that necessary measures and favorable legislation should be taken to promote the use of renewable energy in Turkey. He hopes that the Glasgow Climate Summit to be held from November 1 to 12 will make effective and binding decisions. Although the goal is to maintain a temperature rise of 1.5 degrees within a century, according to current policies, the global temperature rise will reach 2.7 degrees. "In order to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, countries need to increase their current plans by 7 times."

The Japanese cabinet approved the national goal of increasing the proportion of renewable energy power generation in the power mix to 36% to 38% by 2030. The Natural Resources and Energy Advisory Committee of the Japanese Government launched its deliberation in October 2020. On Friday, the cabinet formally approved the sixth edition of the energy strategy plan. The core content of this plan is to set a path for achieving carbon neutrality (in line with the government's policy goals) by 2050, and to ensure a stable energy supply at the lowest possible cost. The energy strategic plan is regularly formulated, and the fourth and fifth editions were promulgated in 2014 and 2018, respectively. In the Japanese fiscal year 2019 (JFY2019), about 18% of Japan's electricity comes from renewable energy sources. The focus of increasing this proportion lies in solar energy, onshore wind power and offshore wind power. The previously established target raises the proportion of renewable energy in the power structure to 22%-24%. According to official statistics compiled by the Non-profit Renewable Energy Research Institute of Japan, by the end of fiscal year 2020, there will be 48GW of solar photovoltaic projects in operation above 10kW, and 19GW of projects under development. There are 7.7GW of solar photovoltaic systems in operation under 10kW, and 0.2GW of projects under development.

On September 8, the US Department of Energy released a research report on solar energy. The research report outlines how solar energy can help decarbonize the US grid and help achieve the government's goal of net zero emissions from the power sector by 2035. Research shows that by 2035, solar energy has the potential to supply 40% of the electricity in the United States and provide nearly 1.5 million jobs without causing electricity bills to rise. The report calls for a substantial increase in the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation. According to the vision blueprint of the US Department of Energy, the country’s photovoltaic power generation needs to rise from 76GW in 2020 (about 3% of the national power supply) to 1600GW in 2035, and reach 3000GW in 2050. . Last month, the Ministry of the Interior announced that it would start a process to ensure easier access to vast federal land for solar and wind energy, and to address the greedy demand for land in the renewable energy industry. According to research firm Rystad Energy, the US's goal of achieving decarbonization in the power sector by 2035 requires that the solar energy industry alone requires a larger area than the Netherlands. More than 700 companies sent a letter to Congress seeking long-term extension of tax incentives for solar investment, which will "alleviate project financing challenges." Last month, the latest report released by Ember, an independent think tank concerned with climate issues, stated that the EU's solar supply in June and July reached a record high, accounting for 10% of the region's total power generation. Judging from the 2020 report, China's wind and solar power supply last year accounted for 9.8% of total electricity consumption. China is the only G20 country that has seen a significant increase in coal power generation in 2020.

Sri Lanka's "Daily Financial Times" reported on September 1 that this week the Sri Lankan cabinet approved the proposal of Energy Minister Gammanpila, calling on local and foreign investors to invest in more than 50 megawatts of solar and wind energy projects in Sri Lanka. According to the statement of the Sri Lankan government, in order to achieve the goal of 70% renewable energy power generation by 2030, it is necessary to add 4,800 megawatts to the existing 458 megawatts of solar power generation capacity, and at the same time, to add 3,500 megawatts to the existing 248 megawatts of wind power capacity. watt. According to data from the Ceylon Electric Power Commission, Sri Lanka’s current total installed power generation capacity is approximately 4,265 MW, including 900 MW of coal power, 1,268 MW of oil-fired thermal power, 1,383 MW of hydropower, wind power, small hydropower, biomass and solar power. Unconventional renewable energy such as power plants is 714 MW.

For a long time, India has imported most of the solar cells and modules from China. In order to support the local manufacturing industry, reduce dependence on imported products, and increase the competitiveness of its domestic modules, in July 2020, the Ministry of Finance of India issued a notice to impose a safeguard duty (SGD) on imported solar cells and modules from July 2020. From January 30 to January 29, 2021, a safeguard duty of 14.9% will be imposed on all solar cells and modules imported from China, Thailand and Vietnam, and 14.5% will be imposed on the above-mentioned imported goods from January 30, 2021 to July 29, 2021. Guarantee tax. At present, the SGD policy has expired on July 29, 2021, and the new basic tariff on solar modules, BCD-40% tariff on photovoltaic modules and 25% tariff on photovoltaic cells, will be implemented on April 1, 2022. Means that Chinese photovoltaic modules in the Indian market will usher in an eight-month tax holiday. At present, the Indian government has not yet made a statement on whether to extend the SGD tariff policy. The project developer hopes to cancel the safeguard tariff to speed up the project construction and grid connection Currently, the cost of solar modules in India accounts for more than 50% of the total project cost. According to Crisil Ratings, since March 2020, 12 GW projects have been bidding at a low price of less than Rs 2.50 per unit. Project developers usually purchase related components 9 to 12 months after being auctioned. As these projects approach the component procurement stage, prices have risen sharply. When the purchase price is much higher than the bid expected price, the project’s rate of return will drop, which may lead to certain Some projects are postponed or abandoned. It is reported that the price of modules has soared to US$0.24 per watt in June, a 10% increase since January. Indian solar developers said that due to rising prices, the progress of project construction has slowed down. An executive member of the Rajasthan Solar Energy Association said: “Due to the 30%-40% increase in module prices, many projects are progressing slowly. The projects are tendered to maintain a certain profit, but when the module prices rise by 40%, the project benefits The rate has been negligible. I hope that the cancellation of the guarantee tax will speed up the process of project construction and grid connection." Indian manufacturers want local government to formulate temporary tariff measures Unlike project developers, Indian solar manufacturers want the government to introduce a temporary tariff before the BCD policy takes effect. Many people believe that without this protective measure, it will be difficult for local manufacturers to have greater room for development. At present, more than 80% of India's solar modules are imported from China, and its domestically produced modules are at a disadvantage in competition due to higher prices.
