A lively global debate continues in maintaining a balance between fossil fuels and nuclear energy, on the one hand, and renewable sources such as hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal and biomass, on the other.

There is the only one expert opinion at present - we are in for the global electrification of the transition to renewable energy sources and the associated transformation of infrastructure in all areas. Further development of solar power generation will be the most powerful driver of these processes. What are the obvious and hidden factors that will prompt to such changes?

Reducing carbon emissions and limiting global warming this way require an increase in global renewable energy investments. How much does it invest in this sector and how are these finances distributed throughout the world? What are the prospects of investing in renewable energy sources in Ukraine?

New analytical data on the results of global renewables development in 2018 forced the scientists to change their previous forecasts. Electricity generation at PV stations will become a key contributor to overall electricity generation soon, but the main segment of the entire global power grid as well.

Bioenergy plays an important role in many low carbon development scenarios and can be particularly useful in long haul transport where alternative energy sources are not available. The expanded role of bioenergy is still under consideration, and sometimes disputes over the sustainability of production and use.

The development of solar power, which has recently been strongly stimulated by the fall in the cost of PV. It is quite difficult to appreciate the attractiveness of the location of the PV project and choose a promising business model for it.

Since the discovery of electricity, people have been looking for effective energy storage methods for its further usage if needed. Nowadays, there is a rapid increase in generating capacities around the world, which has led to the development of energy accumulation technologies for large-scale electricity production.

The achieved level of development of renewable energy technologies and the degree of their penetration into the market due to lowering the cost of RES generation already has a significant impact on the energy infrastructure.
