Europe's biggest utility is looking to scale up its 3SUN factory in southern Italy to 3 gigawatts in 2024 and develop a new generation of panels to compete with Asia, Enel Green Power CEO Salvatore Bernabei said on Tuesday.

He said Europe might need 30 GW per year of capacity in this regard but added other countries like the United States and India had more ambitious targets.

"Our idea is to think of a possible copy and paste of this factory to other markets, like the United States," he said.

Polysilicon imports into China climbed to 114,000 tons in 2021

South Korea’s polysilicon exports to China fell from 15,331 MT in 2020 to 4,096 MT in 2021 after both OCI and Hanwha Solutions announced in February 2020 that they would terminate their solar-grade polysilicon operations in the country. Off-spec material from OCI’s electronic-grade plant in Gunsan is still contributing to Chinese imports. Similar to Japan, however, the amount dropped sharply from 3,097 MT in the first half to 999 MT in the second half.

PRESS RELEASE: SEMI Applauds House Introduction of America Competes Act of 2022 with Funding for CHIPS Act

SEMI Applauds House Introduction of America Competes Act of 2022 with Funding for CHIPS Act

MILPITAS, Calif. – January 25, 2022 – SEMI, the industry association serving the global electronics design and manufacturing supply chain, today applauded the introduction of the America Competes Act of 2022 in the United States House of Representatives. The bill includes funding for the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America (CHIPS) Act, earmarked to strengthen U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and research.

“We are very pleased to see the House move forward to introduce the America Competes Act of 2022 including robust funding for the CHIPS Act programs,” said Ajit Manocha, SEMI president and CEO. “The bill also ensures equipment and materials suppliers can access the Section 9902 grant program, which will strengthen the semiconductor supply chain in the United States to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. These programs will attract new manufacturing facilities – both chip fabs and upstream suppliers – and support technologies that countless industries in the U.S. and around the world depend on. The bill will also bolster workforce development programs, helping to equip workers with the skills needed in today’s semiconductor industry. We look forward to working with Congress and the Biden Administration to enact this funding into law.”

“Additionally, we urge quick action on the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit and restoration of the ability to immediately deduct research expenses which was removed at the start of this year,” Manocha said.

SKC, a chemical unit of South Korea’s No. 3 conglomerate SK Group, said Wednesday it has invested $80 million with partners to secure next-generation electric vehicle batteries technologies.

According to SKC, it formed a consortium with SJL Partners, BNW Investment and Kiwoom PE and invested $80 million in Nexeon, which develops materials that go inside the minus sides of electric vehicle batteries.

EV batteries have plus sides and minus sides. Typically, the minus sides are made of graphite,the same material found inside pencils. Graphite helps EV batteries to stabilize.

To further enhance the performance of EV batteries, the industry is adding silicon to graphite. Established in 2006, Nexeon is equipped with technologies and patents to mass-produce a mixture of silicon and graphite in a short period, SKC claims.

However, solar expansion may be delayed by continued supply chain issues, partly because of port delivery delays from China, Prabhu said.

"We also expect new non-China module manufacturing capacity to come online but still expect polysilicon, steel and freight costs to drive the inflation narrative for solar panels."

The deeply disappointing decision today by the WTO arbitrator reflects erroneous Appellate Body interpretations that damage the ability of WTO Members to defend our workers and businesses from China’s trade-distorting subsidies. Today’s decision reinforces the need to reform WTO rules and dispute settlement, which have been used to shield China’s non-market economic practices and undermine fair, market-oriented competition. The Biden Administration will continue to use all our tools to stand up for the interests of America’s workers, businesses, farmers and producers, and strengthen our middle class.

Enel Green Power is the latest among a host of solar manufacturers expanding capacity outside of China.

The company plans to reach 3GW capacity at its module factory in Catania, Italy, and CEO Salvatore Bernabei says they are considering a ‘copy and paste’ effort with a facility in the United States.

As the world continues to face supply chain issues that challenge carbon goals, a more diversified and sustainable solar supply will prove imperative to powering the global energy transition.

Manufacturing

US and North American solar manufacturing have potential to rise significantly as both Sen. Jon Ossoff’s Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act and the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better (BBB) Act, which has $550 billion in climate provisions, work their way through the legislature.

An earlier proposal of BBB had significant provisions for US manufacturing. Included in the bill were incentives for the manufacture of thin film PV or crystalline PV cells. The incentive would pay $0.04 per watt DC capacity of the cell. PV wafers would be offered $12 per square meter, and solar-grade polysilicon is offered $3 per kilogram US-made solar modules are offered an incentive of $0.07 per watt.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-VA) shut down the earlier proposal of BBB, and said he intends to start “from scratch,” but it is likely that US manufacturing would continue to receive focus in the Act.

In January, the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance told Renewable Energy World that evidence was mounting that supply chains are diversifying away from those conflict regions such as those in Xinjiang.

The shift is being aided in part by growing global demand for solar energy equipment. New sources of supply across the entire solar production supply chain are being added, offering alternatives to solar developers in the U.S. and elsewhere.

“We are seeing a supply chain realignment,” said Michael Parr, executive director of the U.S.-based Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance (ULCSA). “The pace has been faster than expected.”

Developing a Strategic Action Plan for the solar PV industry in Europe
https://www.solarpowereurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Offtakers-letter_vfinal-1.pdf
JANUARY 26, 2022
"
..
An industry can develop sustainably only if it has a comprehensive vision of its supply chain. Europe has divested from the most strategic steps of the solar PV value chain, and most of the EU project developers rely on a limited number of suppliers, with significant concentration in a limited number of countries outside Europe. The European solar industry has flourished in the past years thanks to a fruitful cooperation with these global partners, and there is no sign that such a cooperation will stop tomorrow.

Nevertheless, in the medium term, this raises questions about the impact on the EU solar industry. Future disturbances in the supply chain, such as the current increase of shipping costs, the 400% increase of polysilicon costs or the expected shortage of solar PV modules supply in 2022, could cause temporary yet costly stress and delays in module procurement and project development. This is detrimental to the speed of European decarbonisation. Allowing access to a diversified supply of components in the medium term is necessary to ensure a healthy competition among manufacturers, sustain a continuous innovation cycle, improve the sustainability of the supply chain and strengthen the resilience of the industry in case of future shocks.

Da blir det nok ingen avstemning over SEMA/BBB før etter 1 mars.

Demokratene er nødt til å ha alle stemmer i senatet for å få det gjennom. På den positive siden så får de litt mer tid på å dele opp BBB i en form som etterhvert forhåpentligvis også Manchin kan støtte.

Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) is expected to return to the Senate within four to six weeks, barring complications, after suffering a stroke, aides confirmed to The Hill.

In a 50-50 Senate, his time away also threatens to leave Democrats’ agenda in limbo until he returns.
