This December some 190 Countries will be coming together in Paris to broker a new climate agreement. Paris is set up to be the greatest climate event in recent times especially as agencies like IEA come out with data showing solar and renewables beating out other power sources on cost. We already know this but now new markets, like Brazil, are able to bring solar energy to the grid at under $90/MWh with over 11.2GW of applicants. Imagine if all 190 Countries put a Government backed PPA on the table via an auction and how long until the first solar baseload RFP gets put on the street?
