ContactProject Description
The question arises as to what level of regional value creation can be generated by alpine photovoltaics.
Our analysis shows that, with an appropriate project structure, high local value creation can be achieved. This value increases when local businesses are given the opportunity to access green electricity under stable, long-term, and affordable conditions.
