From its source in the Pindos Mountains in north-west Greece to its meeting with the Adriatic Sea in Albania, the Vjosa river flows uninterrupted for more than 270 kilometres, making it the longest free-flowing river in Europe outside of Russia. But the campaign of resistance appears to have paid off. But the picture is much more complicated.

This is concerning when we think about the scale of the solar power industry, and how much this industry is expected to grow. In 2020, solar power accounted for 3.1% of the global electricity generation, making it the third-largest renewable energy technology (behind hydropower and wind respectively).

And so, the organisation's projection of "little change" in wind deployment next year does not bode well, nor does its prediction that ever-rising solar capacity will not be able to "fully compensate" for lower hydropower and flatlining wind additions.

However, the IEA also warned that renewable power's growth is on track to lose momentum in 2023, predicting that global additions to the clean power fleet will plateau as solar power's continued acceleration is offset by "little change" in wind additions and a 40 per cent decline in hydropower expansion.
