Counting sunshine: Solar energy data and public policy

Rebecca Christie sits down with Bruegel's Ben McWilliams and Rhodium's Senior Analyst Marie Tamba to talk about the solar energy transition, and how better information on investment and deployment can lead to better policy.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie sits down with Bruegel’s Ben McWilliams and Rhodium’s Senior Analyst Marie Tamba to talk about the solar energy transition, and how better information on investment and deployment can lead to better policy. Data trends in the EU and the US offer insights into where clean energy is ramping up and what steps will help going forward. They also discuss how a proposed EU-wide energy data agency could help Europe form a clearer picture of where things stand.

Read the analysis ‘Transatlantic Clean Investment Monitor: A solar PV snapshot‘ that compares the state of play in solar capacity in both the US and Europe, jointly published by Bruegel and Rhodium group.
