Transparency & Turbulence: Securing Responsible Supply Chains

Time: 12:00 - 12:45
Date: 15 April 2026

Synopsis

Recent years have exposed structural pressures in global solar manufacturing. Module oversupply, collapsing margins, and price intervention have reshaped procurement strategies, contract structures, and procurement cycles. At the same time, ambitions for transparent, low-carbon supply chains in Europe have struggled to translate into scalable manufacturing capacity. This panel examines what responsible sourcing means in 2026.

  • How prolonged oversupply and margin pressure are changing procurement behaviour
  • What transparency and low-carbon sourcing look like in practice, beyond legislation
  • Whether a credible manufacturing base in Europe is achievable under current market conditions

Speaker

  • Mariyana Yaneva Vice Chair - Association for Production, Storage and Trading of Electricity (APSTE)
