Solar Power: Generation and Transmission

 

 

June 2010

 

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) works with governments, companies and industry stakeholders in every region of the world and has been instrumental in many of the major developments that are shaping the renewables industry today.

 

PwC's view is that the world needs to quickly identify and promote those renewable energy solutions that can substantially cut global greenhouse gas emissions, and, where possible, begin to address other areas of risk such as energy security and supply. Whilst a range of renewable energy options exist, one area that shows increasing potential as an alternative to existing fossil fuel sources is solar. The global uptake of photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) have the potential, when combined with appropriate transmission networks, to make a significant difference.

 

This booklet sets out how PwC has played and continues to play a key role in helping governments, business and society make the transition to renewable solar energy options. Building on our experience of working with the global energy sector for over 100 years, it outlines the services that we can bring to bear to support programmes of work, provides examples of the work that we have completed in recent years, and sets out some of the thought leadership that we have published in the area of renewable energy to help shape and support the debate in the coming years.
