Of the 29 thousand solar projects around the world, according to IHS Database of Solar Energy (IHS PV Project Database) it was found that Europe accounts for 7 GW of projects planned for construction in 2014 and 2015 - 69 percent of which will be in the UK.
Analysts study showed that the solar sector the UK ready for a serious push growth photovoltaic systems in the country over the next 18 months - only mount solar projects ground to grow by more than 4.8 GW.
IHS Consulting Group reports that at present, the UK is building nine large-scale solar projects with a total capacity of over 130 MW. Another 681 MW of solar power distributed among 71 projects, each with a capacity of 5 MW or more, which were approved, planned, paid for and ready for construction. In addition, another 250 large-scale projects are under development, but they are all awaiting permission from regulators and analysts agree fears about the possible abolition of state benefits in the field of solar energy that can put these projects into question.
"After the July 7, 2014, we will know the outcome of the process to revise the program to support large-scale photovoltaic plants in the UK, which is the Department of Energy and Climate Change (Department of Energy & Climate Change - DECC) initiated in May," said a senior analyst at IHS, Josephine Berg ( Josefin Berg). "If the result of the process will be the termination of state support for large-scale solar projects April 1, 2015, we expect a rapid race among companies in order to finish their projects on time, and splash ground mount solar installations in the UK in the next nine months.
"Given that the country has more than 4.8 GW of planned projects, another 3 GW can be installed in the first quarter of 2015. Britain has become the epicenter of the European installation of solar systems, ground mount. "
According to the consulting group IHS, the UK will dominate the market for large-scale photovoltaic plants in Europe over the next 18 months
As for the other part of the European continent, the French PV market has been particularly active in the sector of large-scale projects, with 974 MW of capacity in various stages of implementation. 515 MW of that number, came to the project with a capacity of more than 250 kW, the tender for which was completed back in 2012, but is currently less than 25 percent of these projects have been put into operation, and another 142 MW of projects under construction.
In Italy, the green tariff version 2013 caused a rapid surge of registration of multiple large-scale photovoltaic projects of the country.
Russia in 2013 issued a license for the construction of photovoltaic objects, with a total capacity of 399 MW, the first of which is expected to be put into operation next year.
Germany, despite the significant reduction in green tariff, has 202 MW of solar projects ready for construction before August 1 of this year, while in Romania this figure is 215 MW, despite the current uncertainty in the area of energy policy.
Based on the IHS databases on solar energy, it can be concluded that allegedly planned 7.5 GW of solar projects are unlikely to ever materialize in Europe, due to unfavorable market conditions. Spain - the most unlucky player in this market - about 1.5 GW of planned mega-projects in the country were canceled. In addition, the construction of solar facilities failures were recorded in Romania and Turkey, although the latter still intends to build solar projects with a total capacity of 600 MW, which were obtained on a competitive basis.
