8th Solar Energy Conference and Trade Show of Eastern Europe

CISOLAR 2019 submit new opportunities for developing solar energy in Central and Eastern Europe

On April, 16-18 in Kyiv will be held the main business event of region in solar energy field devoted to latest technology, trends and investments opportunities – CISOLAR 2019, 8^th International Solar Energy Conference and Trade Show of Central and Eastern Europe.

Today solar energy development is one of priority areas for investors in the world and Eastern Europe in particular.

As of October, 2018 in Ukraine more than 1,06 GW capacity of megawatt-type solar power station were built and by end of the year this indicator will increase to 1,2 GW.

In addition to large scale projects, the segment of small solar stations, including solar roof stations, is also rapidly developing.

Since 2015 in Ukraine more than 72 million euro has been invested in the installation of small households stations. As of June 15, 2018, the number of households equipped with solar power plants exceeded 6 031.

One of the CISOLAR 2019 key issue will be a possible change of the solar energy market model is transition from green tariff system to the auction model. It is precisely this legislative initiative is a focus of market players and investors today.

The rich business program of event will allow participants to answer industry questions of various complexity levels and information of the highest professional level.

On April, 16 a key B2B event the CISOLAR 2019 Solar Energy Conference and Trade Show will be held at the Hilton Kyiv Hotel (30 Tarasa Shevchenko Blvd.). It will be attended more than 70 speakers and 500 delegates – owners, executives, directors of influential companies, and as well as investors and entrepreneurs in the field of solar energy from more than 30 countries.

In particular, at the conference participants will discuss industry prospects, main trends and investments in solar energy projects. Presenters will share their international experience and tell about new technologies and innovative solutions for the PV sector.

An important part of the conference – CISOLAR AWARDS 2019 Ceremony, which traditionally will be chosen the best solar energy projects in Central and Eastern Europe and will be held at the first day of business event.

On April 17-18, the CISOLAR 2019, 2-days Trade Show will be held at the ACCO International Exhibition Center (40-B, Peremohy Avenue, Kyiv). A large-scale Trade Show will feature more than 100 exhibitors who will demonstrate new projects, the best technological solutions for business and home. The number of visitors is expected to be 5 000+.

The practical training’s and workshops for PV-installers have already become an integral part of event and will take place on April, 17-18. Events will be useful for property owners – private and multi-apartment buildings that have already installed solar panels, operate or plan to install. Participants will learn how to economize on green tariff and start developing own businesses.

CISOLAR is the first major business platform in Central and Eastern Europe, where participants share their experience of the most successful PV projects, discuss current issues in the solar energy field and learn about the latest trends, legal aspects, present ideas and solutions, conclude contracts, find and strengthen partnerships.

Become a member of CISOLAR 2019 and join world-renowned experts, participants in the international solar energy market, suppliers of state-of-the-art energy efficiency solutions – individuals with activities and achievements who write a new page on the development energy industry.

The future begins here!

Albania sets tariff of €100/MWh for PV projects up to 2 MW

The Albanian energy regulator ERE has set a regulated tariff for PV projects with a capacity of up to 2 MW and wind power projects not larger than 3 MW.

The ERE has established that the regulated tariff for solar for 2017 will be €100 ($117.8)/MWh, while that for wind power will be €76/MWh. According to ATA, solar and wind projects of this size will be entitled to receive the tariff after the Ministry of Energy will have reviewed and approved them. It remains unclear, however, which will be the criteria for the selection of the projects. These will be likely treated as small and medium hydropower projects, which, under the current regulation, can sell power at the regulated tariff to the Albanian public power utility OSSH under a 15-year contract.

The announcement of the new tariff explains the increasing number of PV projects up to 2 MW which were submitted to the Ministry of Energy over the past months. These projects, therefore, will very unlikely compete in the upcoming solar auction recently announced by the government, as we previously reported. The auction, which is being planned with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), will probably select larger solar facilities like the 50 MW PV project that were proposed by special purpose vehicle Novoselë Photovoltaic PowerPlant Sh.P.K. for Novoselë, a village in the Vlorë County, southwestern Albania in August 2016, or the 50 MW solar facility that a consortium formed by local companies Solar Gamma Sh.p.k., Alfa Energy Sh.p.k., Beta Energy Sh.p.k., Delta Solar Sh.p.k. and Solaris Sh.p.k. hopes tu build in Malik, a municipality in Korçë County of eastern Albania. Overall, the government expects to install between 30 MW and 50 MW through the auction.

The latest two project proposals for 2 MW solar power plants were filed to the Ministry of Energy in the first week of this month. A first €2.4 million project is being planned by RTS Sh.p.k in Bilisht, Korçë County, south-eastern Albania, while a second €2.4 million facility is being proposed by Hydro Valbona Sh.P.K. for the municipality of Topojë, in the Fier County, southwestern Albania.

In late July, the ministry had received two more similar proposals for solar up to 2 MW from Inside Computer System Sh.P.K. and Wonderland Sh.P., while in the previous weeks three more PV projects of the same size were submitted for approval to the ministry.

Albania’s total installed capacity at the end of 2015 totaled 1,895 MW, out of which 98 MW was from thermoelectric generation and the rest, around 95% of installed power, was from hydropower sources.
