Nikolai Bjørnsen, Head of Project Development at Solkraft Sør, joined Even Kvelland, Chief Commercial Officer and co-founder at Glint Solar, to walk through how a core team of three runs 24 solar and battery projects in active development, 265 GWh of annual production in the pipeline, across eight municipalities in Agder, Norway.
In Germany, the wave of grid connection requests has run ahead of the rules. More than 720 gigawatts of requests have piled up with network operators, the privileging rules under §35 BauGB keep shifting, and noise has become a make-or-break constraint. The result is that time and serious capital can get committed to sites that were never going to qualify, with connection fees paid before anyone checks whether a project is permittable.
In Italy, preliminary development is where solar projects are won or lost. Landscape constraints, permitting pressure, and data scattered across disconnected tools mean weeks of work and meaningful capital can end up invested in land that was never going to qualify.
In France, moving fast isn't enough if the foundations don't hold up. Between increasingly strict permitting, grid constraints, and technical reviews at every stage, the gaps between development, engineering, and operations are where time and money get lost.
Pipeline visibility isn’t just a reporting problem. It’s a decision-making problem. In this session, Glint Solar walks through how developers are moving away from fragmented Excel tracking and into a centralized, real-time view of their project pipeline. The focus: faster decisions, better prioritization, and clearer communication across teams and stakeholders.
In France, developers must prove fields deliver 90% of their original crop yield while keeping solar coverage below strict limits. This webinar shines a light on how policies like these are shaping real projects and what developers need to know to succeed.
