RENEWABLES: Spanish Solar Oversupply Risks Investments in New Capacity
RENEWABLES
The oversupply of solar PV plants in Spain has pushed down prices, which in turn may hinder investments in new projects, a study by Aurora Energy Research showed, cited by Bloomberg.
- Battery storage may only partially be able to mitigate the country’s excess solar generation.
- Solar capture rates in Spain have fallen significantly which could hinder investments in new capacities.
- Spain has added 725MW of new solar PV capacity in September with total capacity reaching 28.61GW as of 1 October, data from Red Electrica showed.
- Spain plans to add 12.5GW of battery capacity and thermo-solar storage by 2030 according to Bloomberg.
