The report aims to catalogue best practices and expertise. This publication serves as a handbook to drive high-quality floating PV projects, by creating and strengthening floating PV knowledge sharing. Within this report, over 30 experts from SolarPower Europe’s Land Use and Permitting Workstream have illustrated their knowledge of floating PV best practices through technical guidance and real-world examples.

The key findings of this report indicate that Installations of wind and solar capacity are gathering speed in the EU and US. A record breaking 33 GW of solar PV will be built in the US in 2024. New wind projects in the EU are also breaking records, growing by about 18% in 2022. Renewables generate more electricity than either coal or nuclear power in both the US and EU. Wind and solar generated enough electricity in 2022 to power about 85% of all households in the EU.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are some of the world’s most significant fossil fuel producers and exporters, and are among the world’s largest per capita emitters of CO2. However, this report shows that renewable energy deployment is growing in the region; albeit the share of renewables in the electricity mix of the GCC region remains negligible, accounting for only 3% of the region’s generation capacity in 2022.

The key findings of this report indicate that the Biden administration’s fossil fuel project approvals are significantly undermining U.S. climate progress. Despite its claims that it’s advancing climate goals, the Biden administration is actively erasing the projected emissions reductions of its flagship Inflation Reduction Act and other demand-side climate policies by expanding fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure projects.

The data produced through this exercise is a key input to the EPA’s annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions Projections. The projections presented in this report are the result of the 2023 national energy and climate modelling cycle, which culminated in the EPA projections published in June 2023. A new modelling cycle for 2024 began in September 2023 and will produce a new set of projections in early 2024.

The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) undertook a modeling analysis of technical pathways for achieving sharp cuts in economy wide, energy-related, heat-trapping emissions in the United States. They optimized the analysis for the lowest energy-system costs to better understand both the challenges and the opportunities that would arise when taking an expansive, interconnected view of energy, the economy, and society. The analysis shows that the United States has viable pathways to get to net-zero heat-trapping emissions no later than 2050.

The newly launched Energy Policy for Uganda 2023 will serve as a crucial tool and major contribution to the country’s ambitious agenda. Uganda already has in place much of the technical expertise, government institutions and policy frameworks to reach its energy goals. It has also made significant progress over the past two decades in providing access to electricity and expanding generation capacity, and further ambition is encouraged to achieve universal energy access by 2050.
