What’s Included in This Quarter’s Report

North America

Like most of the world, American developers rely heavily on solar modules and components imported from China. But new U.S. regulations have created a series of cascading impacts across the U.S. solar sector. One such regulation, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), protects human rights by banning imports containing materials sourced from China’s Xinjiang region. However, implementation of the UFLPA has caused massive bottlenecks at U.S. ports as developers grapple with its extensive compliance requirements. In the meantime, the majority of solar imports from Asia are being held for months as they await assessment by Customs and Border Protection, slowing the pipeline of PV modules to a trickle, increasing development costs, and causing construction delays. And, increasing awareness of forced labor issues has prompted more PPA buyers to question the origin of solar modules, delaying contract negotiations. Learn more in LevelTen’s report for the fourth quarter of 2022. Out on January 31, the report includes:

  • PPA price offer data for Q4 2022 (October - December) from 7 American ISOs and 1 Canadian ISO
  • A deep dive into how the UFLPA is affecting the PPA market, including how developers are changing their supply chains, and how forced labor concerns are impacting PPA contracts 
  • Insights from energy buyers and developers: Learn how buyers are thinking about forced labor in their PPA procurement strategies and how developers’ operations are being impacted by the UFLPA.
  • LevelTen’s PPA Deal Tracker, which includes publicly announced PPA deals and top corporate sustainability commitments   

Europe

As Europe’s energy crisis continues, the European Union is increasingly utilizing regulatory intervention to rein in high electricity costs. One of the European Commission’s latest proposals would split the electricity market into two, and compensate renewable facilities at a fixed level that is significantly lower than traditional thermal generators. A key provision of this proposal is expanded government contract-for-difference (CfD) schemes. An EU-wide measure of this nature would place governments in greater competition with corporations for the same limited pool of new solar and wind projects, creating greater challenges for Europe’s corporate PPA market. Our analysis examines the effectiveness of CfD schemes as a mechanism to fund renewable buildout in Europe, and contrasts that with the PPA market, which continues to provide a growing source of project funding. Learn more in LevelTen’s report for the fourth quarter of 2022. Out on February 7, the report includes:

  • PPA price offer data for Q4 2022 (October - December) from 16 countries
  • A deep analysis of the European Commission’s proposal to split the energy market into two, and how that would impact PPAs in the region
  • Insights from energy advisors and developers: Learn how energy advisors and developers are thinking about fixed-price government CfD contracts, as well as the impact of the EU-wide €180 price cap
  • LevelTen’s PPA Deal Tracker, which includes publicly announced PPA deals and top corporate sustainability commitments
