We covered a huge amount of ground in this year’s event, and it was encouraging to see the number of organisations who are now turning their attention to the region and the opportunities for growth.

Challenges still exist, and some such as connections to the grid were more prominent than others – featuring prominently in the discussions – but progress is undeniable. Technologies to reduce CAPEX costs featured heavily alongside new financial models – particularly PPA. However, many of the trends that came up featured topics of more mature markets, including ESG and governance and co-locating storage and solar showing that the CEE market is developing rapidly.

Next year’s Large Scale Solar CEE Summit promises to be even bigger as the industry grows and develops, and I am looking forward to seeing you there to share in your successes
