What is the Best Way for the Industry to Expand?

Synopsis

More and more financial institutions are entering the renewable industry projects as they look to “greenify” their investments. Also, governments across Europe are looking to increase renewable power capacity to reduce reliance on foreign gas imports.

With such increase in capital and political interest, solar power production is due to expand rapidly in the coming years.

• How big is too big?
• Are GW scale projects too big and impactful on the environment?
• What are the best ways to ensure solar projects don’t damage wildlife ecosystems?
