Grid congestion, curtailment and increasing occurrence of negative electricity prices have spread across Europe as the growth of intermittent renewables has reached significant levels and continues to grow.A key to solving these challenges lies in flexibility. Hybrid PV power plants -which combine solar with wind and storage - are emerging as a critical solution for both existing and new projects. This session will explore the market potential, framework conditions, and outlook for hybrid solar-based energy systems in Europe.

This session will provide:

• Key drivers for hybrid solar plant development in Europe
• Challenges and opportunities for project implementation
• Policy frameworks supporting solar-based hybrid power plants in the EU
• Market outlook for hybrid PV power plants
