As part of the first tender for Italy's Fonti di Energia Rinnovabile (FER)X transition program, the Italian government has awarded 7.698 GW of capacity to 474 solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.   Organized by the Italian energy management agency, Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), the average price of electricity (EPI) for successful solar projects was €56.825/MWh. The highest winning bid was €62.675/MWh, and almost all of the nearly 8 GW of available solar capacity was allocated.   In contrast, only 29 wind power projects, totaling 940 MW, were awarded capacity in the tender, with an average price of €72.851/MWh.   Another difference between solar PV and wind power projects is that one-third of the successful wind power projects were renovation projects—including upgrades and expansions—accounting for more than half of the total 940 MW capacity. Of the approved solar projects, only one was an upgrade or expansion project. According to the FER X tender plan, 473 new projects will commence construction.   Most solar projects also have relatively small installed capacities, with 353 projects having a capacity of 10MW or less, accounting for 74.5% of the approved solar projects. In contrast, the wind power sector is different, with 75.9% of projects having a capacity between 10 and 50MW.   Although the number of solar projects approved in the tender for a capacity exceeding 50MW was the smallest, with only 47 projects approved, these projects account for over 4GW of installed capacity, far exceeding all technology types and project sizes. The largest approved solar project is a 300MW power plant project located in Castel Di Iudica, Catania, Sicily.   The completion of this tender means that most bidding projects have secured capacity allocations; in September, a total of 12 GW of renewable energy capacity (particularly 10 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity) participated in the bidding, aiming to obtain government Contracts for Difference (CfDs).   Filling the “Gap” in Italy’s Energy Structure   “GSE plays a central role in our country’s energy transition,” said GSE President Paolo Arrigoni at an energy event in Italy this week. “It is transforming from a mere incentive manager into a promoter and facilitator of the energy transition.”   However, Arrigoni pointed out that GSE remains committed to bringing more renewable energy capacity into operation in Italy. He mentioned that as of October 2024, Italy will have approximately 80 GW of renewable energy capacity in operation, while the deployment target for 2030 is 131 GW, leaving a “gap” of 51 GW of renewable energy capacity.   This shortfall will be partially filled by the second round of FERX tenders, which aims to award projects using cells, modules, and components not manufactured in China, and covers technologies such as heterojunction (HJT).   In the sec...

On November 27, the Solar Regulatory Initiative in Europe (SSI) and Copper Mark signed an agreement aimed at "promoting responsible copper production and sourcing across the entire solar energy supply chain."   SSI, jointly established by the trade body SolarPower Europe and Solar Energy UK, is a self-regulatory organization focusing on the solar photovoltaic supply chain and sustainability. SSI covers over 70% of global solar manufacturing capacity, and its ESG certification system is an industry benchmark. Copper Mark currently certifies 96 copper production sites. This collaboration will create a closed-loop mechanism encompassing "production compliance certification - supply chain traceability - end-application verification."   The organization stated that with the increasing deployment of solar energy and the rising use of copper in the solar sector, "the necessity for cooperation among key stakeholders in the copper supply chain is becoming increasingly apparent."   The two organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to analyze the supply chain, identify environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, and provide solutions to improve the overall performance of the industry. Copper Mark is a supply and compliance assurance framework for the copper, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc supply chains.   Copper has long been a major component of solar power transmission infrastructure and cables, and is increasingly becoming a crucial part of solar photovoltaic cell manufacturing. Standard processes heavily rely on silver as a conductive material in solar cells, but with increasing manufacturing capacity and advancements in cell technology, the cost and scarcity of silver are beginning to pose challenges.   The solar manufacturing industry's share of global silver demand is growing, and silver's scarcity and high cost are forcing technological innovation within the industry. As Wang Yongqian, chief scientist at the Chinese solar manufacturer Aiko Solar, discussed, the industry is accelerating the metallization process of copper-based cells, replacing silver, and copper demand in the solar sector is expected to surge further over the next five years.   According to a recent report, the energy transition, driven by solar manufacturing and grid expansion, is likely to be the main driver of copper demand growth over the next decade. The report's author, Wood Mackenzie, stated that geopolitical pressures as countries seek to reduce their reliance on imports will accelerate copper demand growth in the renewable energy sector.   “This collaboration with Copper Mark is a significant step towards building a truly integrated and responsible production model across the solar energy supply chain,” said Rachel Owens, CEO of SSI.   “By connecting upstream and downstream assurance efforts, we can enhance transparency and accountability from raw materials to finished solar products.
