In a short interview with pv magazine, Flemming Vejby Kristensen, from the Danish PV association Solcelleforening, explained the surprising performance achieved by Denmark’s PV market in 2021, in which around 667.6MW of PV capacity was deployed. Around 94% of this growth is coming from large scale unsubsidized solar projects and the segment’s main driver has been the willingness of big corporations to buy green electricity under bilateral PPAs.
Recent analysis from German consultancy Enervis has shown that only 40% of the electricity to be generated by solar capacity in Poland’s latest auction for utility scale renewables will be sold under the exercise’s contracts for difference regime, and that the remaining share will be sold under bilateral power purchase agreements or to the spot market.
Four new PV developments have been announced this week, adding to a growing list of renewable energy projects in the coal-dependent Eastern European country.
