BNEF PV tiering team note that almost none of this description of methodology by Phono Solar is accurate. This release is not endorsed by BNEF. pv-magazine.com/press-releases…

@solar_chase @SolarInMASS just pasting this from Jenny's book for the record.. "In addition, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi decided inexplicably that there was some kind of prestige to having the cheapest solar. Mostly, this gave them an incentive for the government to internalise various costs…

The BloombergNEF solar module tiering team wishes it to be known that the tier 1 criteria have been updated. The main change is that from 2Q 2025, only solar projects over 10MW are relevant to tiering. They are not seeking feedback on this change. assets.bnef.com/public/tiering…

In January 2024 we expected 2024 solar new build to be about 513GW(DC). Now we think it was about 599GW (DC). Mind you there is still 65GW of buffer in that to cover analyst cowardice. I expect it'll mostly turn up in identifiable markets though.

In October I spoke with the Climate Curious podcast about solar power and what's happening there, and got a bit more broad about what can be done to fight against climate change. tedxlondon.com/podcasts/how-s…

By providing transparency, BNEF strives to remove a significant information barrier and support scaling of private sector renewables deployment. Public blog post on a previous edition here: about.bnef.com/blog/wind-and-s

Do you sign corporate PPAs for renewable energy, as buyer, seller or trader? Would you like access to some BNEF research for free? We are running a collaborative survey on this market. The output is a report on PPA offer prices, including factors such as size, term & structure.

Swiss utility CKW (Axpo) now offers a power tariff for private customers based on peak power demand, which in future could be used to incentivise consumers to use power when the sun's out. First time I've seen this in Switzerland. axpo.com/es/en/newsroom…
