Our story also includes reaction from the sector, which ranges from "a much-needed reprieve from this industry-crushing probe” to an “ineffective use of taxpayer dollars”

UPDATE: White House publishes factsheet confirming two-year waiving of import duties on solar modules from Southeast Asia and use of the Defense Production Act to stimulate domestic PV manufacturing. pv-tech.org/biden-to-waive…

Expect more details later today, but President Biden believed to be issuing a two-year exemption from import tariffs for solar modules from Southeast Asian countries, alongside loans/grants for domestic manufacturing pv-tech.org/biden-to-waive…

Whatever your thoughts on the AD/CVD probe, this is an unbelievable intervention.

28 March: US DOC initiatives investigation into AD/CVD circumvention, upending US solar module procurement. 22 April: US DOC launches 'Commerce Climate Council' to determine climate considerations of policy decisions taken by the department. Hmm.

The UK energy sector's response to today's security strategy in full:

Our story on this - with major ramifications for the US solar market - now updated with new details, including the most likely timeline

Removing VAT on energy saving materials is significant, and a major win for campaigners like @SolarEnergyUK_ who've been calling for this for *years*

Come for the headline, stay for the analysis

Meet up with Andy this week at PV Expo to discuss solar PV, energy storage and/or Bukayo Saka.

Could the UK PV industry do better on public consultations and engagement? Perhaps, but there are countless examples up and down the country of developers working with communities. Industrialisation of countryside/arable land obviously must be tempered, but an "epidemic"?

That leaves around 435 individual projects that are under consideration or beyond in the process. But those projects equate to ~9.9GWdc, or just over 25% of the total pipeline capacity. This is all explained here: solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/meteoric_…

A bit reluctant to comment on this directly, but seeing as it's used some of our data, I feel it's probably appropriate. politics.co.uk/comment/2022/0… Suggesting the UK faces an "epidemic" of solar farms is precisely the kind of charged language that risks a just energy transition.

A packed house at our Solar Finance & Investment Europe conference today, with a lot of discussion perhaps predictably centering around inflation, interest rates and commodity prices in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine: pv-tech.org/solar-develope…
