RenewableEnergyWorld with an article on the latest tariff filings. When are we (as believers of the whole free market capitalism thing) going to stap the tariff madness and take advantage of the actual low price of solar modules, etc.? "Solar industry reacts to new tariff petitions targeting Southeast Asian countries The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, made up of U.S. solar manufacturers (Convalt Energy, First Solar, Meyer Burger, Mission Solar, Qcells, REC Silicon, and Swift Solar), filed a set of antidumping and countervailing duty petitions with the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce to investigate potentially illegal trade practices by Southeast Asian countries. The petitions were filed April 24 with the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission requesting imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells and modules imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand."

On April 24, 2024, a significant development in the U.S. solar industry occurred as four solar manufacturers filed an antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) petition against solar cell imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. CEA's Market Intelligence team has developed an update on this new AD/CVD petition. It details the next steps and timeline, anticipated outcome, and potential market impacts. Our Market Intelligence subscribers will be receiving more detailed information on this topic in the coming days and weeks. For further inquiries, please contact us at info@cea3.com.

The EU Commission will not introduce trade measures against Chinese solar panels. Instead, commissioners urge EU member states to subsidise domestic manufacturing. "We cannot close our borders because we need solar panels," said the EU energy commissioner ahead of a meeting of energy ministers in Brussels. "We have to support our industry, but we need all the products to meet our very ambitious targets." "China is pursuing a very aggressive industrial policy and sector strategy. China spends almost three to four times more on industry support and subsidies than we do in the west," says Johan Lindahl, secretary general of the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC). Recently, PV Modules prices are stable and small movement, the company's point of view is still somewhat divided, a number of companies do have a recent price increase move, but the bidding low price offer frequently, there is a divergence of views between enterprises, the production enterprise also high and low prices within the Orders mixed. #PV #pvsolar #greenenergy #solar #greenfuture #cleanenergy #energyindustry #energystorage #output #analysis

🇪🇺🇨🇳 EU solar panel makers ask for ‘emergency’ steps to block China oversupply European solar panel producers are calling for urgent curbs on Chinese access to the EU photovoltaic (PV) market to save their industry. In a letter sent to the European Commission, a group representing “nearly the entire European PV manufacturing industry” called for “emergency measures” to safeguard the EU supply chain amid “significant oversupply” from China. It claimed that oversupply of PV modules from China late in 2022 and through 2023 had “triggered a drastic reduction in prices”, forcing European manufacturers to reduce production and leaving stocks “languishing” in warehouses. #EU #China

Interesting article from PVTECH. 【1】The European Commission is committed to supporting the European solar manufacturing industry due to challenges faced by manufacturers from cheap imports and oversupply. 【2】European solar manufacturers are struggling with oversupply, declining prices, and competition from Chinese suppliers, leading to a risk of insolvencies and production shutdowns. 【3】European solar companies are urging the EU to take swift actions, acquiring European PV inventories, and encouraging the use of non-financial criteria in PV auctions to support local manufacturers.

[1] The #EU is planning to support the European solar manufacturing 🌞 industry due to challenges from cheap imports, aiming to balance rapid solar deployment with protecting local manufacturers. [2] European Commissioner for Energy #KadriSimson highlighted the need for policies that accelerate solar PV deployment while maintaining a competitive and sustainable EU industrial base. [3] Trade bodies like #solarpower Europe and the #EuropeanSolarManufacturingCouncil have differing views on domestic content requirements, with some seeing it as crucial to preserving the European PV manufacturing industry. https://lnkd.in/gzx5NY4F

🇪🇺 The EU reaffirms its commitment to support European solar manufacturing amid challenges from cheap imports, emphasizing the need for a policy balancing rapid solar PV deployment with a sustainable industrial base. 💡 European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson discusses proposals to bolster EU solar manufacturing, including increased national aid and state auctions with non-price criteria favoring EU manufacturers. The plan aims to encourage concrete actions from member states and stakeholders to support local production. 💰 While specifics of the proposed plan are not provided, recent discussions signal a shift towards supportive measures rather than punitive tariffs. The focus is on incentivizing domestically made products, aligning with the EU's renewable energy targets. 📈 What's your insight on sustainable energy policies and the role of innovation in driving industry growth? #SolarEnergy #EUManufacturing #RenewableFuture #SustainabilityEfforts Photo: Guillaume Périgois

Vietnam pushes rooftop solar for self-consumption, not trade: Ministry of Industry In a recent development aimed at bolstering sustainable energy practices, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan, emphasized that the promotion of rooftop solar power in Vietnam is intended for self-consumption purposes, not for electricity trading. This assertion was made during a regular Government press conference held, following positive contributions to the draft Electricity Law amendment. https://lnkd.in/eZHKVzbu #vietnam #renewableenergy #rooftopsolar
