How renewables will change electricity markets in the next five years

Published 2012 / 06
Summary The paper gives an outlook on the break-even price of PV modules (which is happening rather sooner than later). It illuminates the consequences on the electricity grid as PV power will not be controllable by subsidies any more. There will be a transition to captive power generation (produce your own electricity). This will cause dramatic changes in how supply/demand matching will be accomplished.
