Extreme Weather Risk: Leveraging Data for PV Resilience

Extreme weather is increasingly shaping renewable energy investment and project design, as climate change drives more frequent and severe natural disasters. In 2024, the U.S. saw 27 billion-dollar disasters (Source: NOAA), underscoring the need for more rigorous risk assessment. This session explores how weather volatility affects both OPEX and CAPEX, and how developers and investors can use data to account for climate risk in system design and long-term planning. Those who prioritize climate resilience will be better positioned to navigate the evolving energy landscape and secure long-term returns.
