Distributional effects of increasing solar capacities

Distributional effects of increasing solar capacities

As a preview of our modelling work with PyPSA (Python for Power Systems Analysis), we show how newly installed solar capacity would be optimally distributed across Ukraine, depending on the overall national target. Higher overall targets entail more technological constraints, such as grid capacity or the presence of other generators. On top of satisfying constraints, a more evenly distributed solar network boosts overall resilience and lessens variability in generation.
