COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2018/1017. of 18 July 2018 amending Implementing Regulations (EU) 2017/366 and (EU) 2017/367 imposing definitive countervailing and anti-dumping duties on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People''s Republic of China and …
The appeal also questions the MPSC''s authority in redefining terms such as "compatible renewable energy ordinance" and "affected local unit," arguing that these changes block local units from imposing additional regulations. Furthermore, the appeal takes issue with the commission''s expanded jurisdiction over hybrid facilities, stating that it goes beyond the …

The strategy puts forward a target of over 320 GW of newly installed solar photovoltaic capacity by 2025, and almost 600 GW by 2030. These frontloaded additional capacities are expected to displace the consumption of …
European legislators adopted the EU Solar Standard in the European Parliament within the European Performance of Buildings Directive. The new law is set to require solar installations on buildings across the …
Members of European Parliament (MEPs) have adopted the EU Solar Standard, which will require the installation of solar on buildings across EU member states. The standard forms part of the...
The climate footprint for solar cells in the production phase is today more than halved compared to 2009, and the solar cells have also become far more efficient during the period. Unfortunately, current calculations do not take this into account. This paints an inaccurate picture of modern solar cells'' climate footprint. Roof-integrated ...
By 1 July 2026, all outdoor car parks with a surface area greater than 10,000 m 2 and car parks with a surface area of between 1,500 m 2 and 10,000 m 2 managed under concession or public service delegation must be …
