  Webinar | Battle for the future 2024: Plummeting solar costs remake the power landscape in Asia Pacific

  • 28 3月 2024

  Battle for the future 2024: Plummeting solar costs remake the power landscape in Asia Pacific Will renewables capex continue to drop? Has cost inflation peaked? Can Chinese non-solar power technologies expand beyond its borders to offer a competitive edge in the Asia Pacific sub regions? Can offshore wind be competitive? How long will it take before it becomes competitive with conventional power technologies? Can new clean fuels such as green hydrogen and ammonia compete against other power sources in the future? What will it take?
