Description

The price of solar photovoltaic modules has declined around 40% in the past year due to high production in China. In this episode of Energy Evolution, we're exploring whether cheaper panels are unlocking the business case to build utility-scale solar in the Nordic region. With much fewer sun hours and ample wind and hydro, these northern European countries are no solar hubs – but this is starting to change. Energy Evolution correspondent Camilla Naschert spoke to Warren Campbell and Peter Tornberg of renewables developers Alight and OX2, as well as Justin FitzHugh of investment bank Arctic Securities, bringing a perspective from a region warming to solar energy. Tune in to Energy Evolution to stay up-to-date on the energy transition and its implications. The show is co-hosted by veteran journalists Dan Testa and Taylor Kuykendall.
