The World Bank’s RISE (Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy) scorecard shows that developing nations such as Mexico, China, India and Brazil, are increasingly taking the lead in delivering supportive policies for clean energy adoption. Nearly 50 developing countries have so far adopted solar PV.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
Nearly 50 developing countries have so far adopted solar PV. Feed-in tariff policies, which accelerate investment by offering producers favorable long-term contracts, are the most extended form of solar PV support. For instance, in Uganda, FITs have attractive prices, which have boosted the country’s renewable market and local economy.
Power sector investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is projected to exceed USD 500 billion in 2024, surpassing all other generation sources combined. Though growth may moderate slightly in 2024 due to falling PV module prices, solar remains central to the power sector’s transformation.
While the contribution of solar energy to global electricity production remains generally low at 3.6%, it has firmly established itself among other renewable energy technologies, comprising nearly 31% of the total installed renewable energy capacity in 2022 (IRENA, 2023).
Oceania installed capacity. It is observed from Table 12 that Australia, New Zealand, and Guam were the top three Oceanian solar energy installers (solar PV and CSP) in 2022, with total installed capacities of 26.8 GW, 0.3 GW, and 0.1 GW, respectively.
In 2016, French company EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN) opened a 146 MW Bolero solar power plant located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. EDF EN and the Japanese company Marubeni have equal shares in this project.
