Rafael Solís is an EDP Europe energy professional whose LinkedIn posts cover renewable-energy projects, corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), and the policies shaping Europe’s energy transition.
They describe EDP’s entry into Germany through a local developer, the opening of its Ketzin solar park, and discussions with policymakers, alongside market and policy debates in Germany and Italy.
Follow them for a view of how project development, energy markets, and public policy connect—not just for general commentary on renewables.
Solís connects specific projects and market decisions to the conditions that can make renewable energy investment work.
The Ketzin post links the project’s development and opening to EDP’s German market entry and engagement with regional policymakers.
The Re-Source post turns a commercial event into a concise account of PPA-market pressures, including buyer demand for wind, solar, and storage portfolios.
In the Italy posts, they frame renewables as an economic and energy-security issue, using figures from a study; the companion preview post offers the event’s framing but not its findings.
Together, these posts give readers concrete ways to understand the energy transition through project reporting, market takeaways, and policy arguments.
Rafael Solís writes about EDP's renewable-energy work in Europe, returning to a focused set of arguments rather than offering general commentary on clean energy.
Read more
They make the case for renewables through economic and security benefits backed by named figures, and present corporate power purchase agreements as the practical link between projects and buyers.
Other posts cover how a company enters a mature market—by buying a local developer and delivering plants—and how regulation, grid capacity and market design set the pace.
Direct engagement with policymakers, industry bodies and chambers of commerce runs through the project and market posts as a working method, not a side activity.
Renewables are a competitiveness and security case, not only a climate target
Across Rafael Solís's posts, the recurring argument is that renewable energy should be justified by cost, growth, jobs and supply security, not decarbonisation alone.
Read more
The strongest case, they argue, uses quantified national studies.
In posts about Italy, accelerating deployment is presented as a study finding and framed as an economic, security and investment agenda for the country.
The same framing appears in posts about Germany, where electrification is tied to competitiveness and security, and EDP's entry into the market is described as a response to the country's search for clean, local and competitive energy after cutting its reliance on Russian gas.
The logic is consistent: an environmental argument alone competes with cost objections; savings, GDP and jobs address the concerns that shape policy and investment.
The Rome SymposiumEnergia post reports that closing Italy's projected 29 GW renewable capacity gap to 2030 would save between 17 billion and 25 billion euros a year in energy costs, add nearly 42 billion euros in GDP, create more than 60,000 jobs and reduce dependence on volatile energy imports. EDP is described as one of the companies driving the initiative behind the study, alongside other energy players, with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Italy, the Spanish embassy and Confindustria involved.
Corporate PPAs connect projects to buyers, but the market is stalling
Solís argues that power purchase agreements connect renewable producers with the companies that buy their output, making the health of the PPA market central to meeting renewables targets.
Read more
They identify the barriers: heavy industry needs to electrify to rebuild demand, electricity taxes and levies need to fall so power can compete with gas, and European Commission support matters.
Buyer behaviour is described in practical terms: off-takers increasingly want portfolios combining wind, solar and storage, particularly data-centre operators that need near-continuous availability.
PPAs are presented as essential to the transition even as the market is reported to have declined from 2024 to 2025; the slowdown is treated as a problem to solve, not a reason to abandon the instrument.
Writing after Re-Source 2025, the main European meeting point for these contracts, Solís reports that EDP sponsored the event for the first time as a deliberate commercial choice to improve access to off-takers and brand visibility, and confirms plans to attend E-world energy & water. The post presents conference takeaways in a bullet list rather than as a project update, reading as a market briefing for buyers and sellers.
Sponsoring the event is presented as a deliberate choice about where demand for PPA deals will come from. It suggests the route-to-market question is treated as a channel to develop, not just a market to observe.
Enter a mature market by buying a local developer, then deliver
The German posts describe market entry in two stages: acquire an established local developer with a ready project pipeline, then build and inaugurate the plants.
Read more
The approach shows how a large utility can enter a mature, competitive market quickly by buying a pipeline rather than starting development from scratch. Capacity, output and emissions figures make each stage concrete, as do the credits to named colleagues and teams.
Solís says EDP decided in 2022 to enter Germany through the acquisition of developer Kronos Solar, then inaugurated its first project, Ketzin, at 87 MWp with annual production of 91 GWh.
The plant supplies enough clean energy for around 28,000 households and avoids more than 75,000 tonnes of CO2 each year.
Construction had already begun on a second solar project at Meuselwitz, while wind development was advancing in several parts of the country, including a 200 MW project.
The post also records a meeting with the head of Brandenburg's ministry for economic affairs, labour and energy about accelerating clean energy in the region.
Regulation and grid capacity set the pace; the fixes are specific
The project posts describe delivery; the policy posts examine what constrains it.
Read more
Solís argues that Germany's challenge is execution, not ambition, and identifies the changes needed: implement reforms on time, design two-sided contracts for difference to work alongside PPAs, expand and digitalise the grid, build storage, and remove barriers such as the 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar.
The shared conclusion is that investment follows clarity.
The post lists discrete, testable policy conditions rather than making a broad call for more support, making it useful to anyone assessing how quickly a market will move.
At a Berlin roundtable held under the Chatham House Rule, Solís reports participants' conclusions without naming speakers: timely implementation of the new reforms; market design in which two-sided contracts for difference work alongside PPAs; grid expansion, digitalisation and storage as urgent priorities, with clear rules for hybridisation; removal of the 50 MW cap for utility-scale solar; and electrification as the basis of competitiveness, security and decarbonisation. EDP's view is that the coming German reforms will affect security of supply, affordability and competitiveness.
Policy engagement is a working channel, not a communications task
Across Rafael Solís's posts, a clear pattern is direct contact with people who shape project conditions: ministries, embassies, chambers of commerce, industry associations and expert roundtables.
Read more
The posts suggest that permitting, grid access and market rules are matters of relationships as well as technical questions, making meetings with officials and peer convenings part of the work. Solís consistently names colleagues and partner organisations, presenting the activity as a team and coalition effort rather than individual networking.
One post reports a meeting with the head of Brandenburg's economics, labour and energy ministry alongside EDP colleagues to discuss accelerating clean energy in the region.
Two others describe EDP's participation in an Italian energy working group of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, supported by the Spanish embassy and Confindustria, which produced the competitiveness study.
A fourth describes convening policymakers, industry leaders and experts in Berlin, with views summarised under the Chatham House Rule so individual participants are not attributed.
The move from single-project announcements to roundtable and working-group posts shifts the emphasis from what EDP is building to the conditions under which it can build. The policy material offers the more analytical framing.
This is the clearest account of Solís's work: it follows a project from market entry through construction to inauguration, alongside the political contacts involved.

A firsthand account of inaugurating the Ketzin solar park: 87 MWp producing 91 GWh a year for about 28,000 households and avoiding more than 75,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Rafael Solís traces EDP's 2022 entry into Germany through the acquisition of developer Kronos Solar, notes that a second project at Meuselwitz is under construction and wind development is advancing, including a 200 MW project.
The post also records a meeting with the head of Brandenburg's economy, labour and energy ministry and thanks named colleagues.
It links building a plant with maintaining relationships with the policymakers who shape permits and grid access.
For brands planning a campaign
For a developer or consultancy assessing entry into a new European market, this post shows how acquisition-led development and direct stakeholder engagement shape the policy and PPA agenda.
It shows how Solís works in policy settings, where the value lies in synthesis rather than a stage speech.
Read more
Solís describes a Chatham House Rule roundtable in Berlin with policymakers, industry leaders and experts on Germany's energy transition.
The post reports shared conclusions rather than naming speakers: investment follows clarity; reform implementation must accelerate; market design needs two-sided contracts for difference working alongside PPAs; grid expansion, digitalisation and storage are urgent; the 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar should be removed; and electrification underpins competitiveness and security.
It states EDP's view that the coming reforms will affect security of supply, affordability and competitiveness.
For brands planning a campaign
For a Germany policy briefing or strategy session, treat these points as the agenda a firm like EDP is already working to. The roundtable format offers a model for reaching officials and industry peers at the same time.
This is the set's most directly commercial post, showing that Solís works on route-to-market questions as well as projects.
Read more
Written after Re-Source 2025, the main European meeting point for power purchase agreements.
Solís notes that EDP sponsored the event for the first time and lists the takeaways: the PPA market declined from 2024 to 2025; electrifying heavy industry is needed to lift demand; electricity taxes and levies should fall so power can compete with gas; off-takers increasingly want portfolios combining wind, solar and storage, especially data-centre operators needing full availability; digital demand will grow; and European Commission support matters.
The focus is commercial: connecting producers and buyers, not reporting on a project.
For brands planning a campaign
Corporate PPA work offers consultancies a practical way to engage with Solís. The post identifies buyer requirements—including mixed technology portfolios and firm availability—that a corporate PPA engagement should test.
It shows how Solís turns a study into a competitiveness argument rather than a climate argument.

A report on the first SymposiumEnergia in Rome, where the study Renewables and Competitiveness: Scenarios, Impacts and Priorities for Italy was presented.
Solís gives the headline numbers: closing a projected 29 GW renewable capacity gap to 2030 would save 17-25 billion euros a year in energy costs, add nearly 42 billion euros in GDP and create more than 60,000 jobs.
EDP is described as one of the companies driving the initiative alongside other energy players.
The post frames renewables as an economic, security and investment agenda rather than a climate agenda.
For brands planning a campaign
When pitching in Italy, lead with cost, GDP and jobs rather than decarbonisation targets. Consider whether the working group behind the study offers a route to the same audience.

An advance post announcing EDP's participation in the first SymposiumEnergia in Rome, promoted by the energy working group of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Italy with the Spanish embassy, Confindustria and The European House-Ambrosetti.
It states EDP's position that accelerating renewables in Italy lowers energy costs, strengthens security and improves economic competitiveness.
The post names the institutions involved.

Corporate PPAs as the route to market1
Renewables framed as an economic and security case
The posts consistently argue that renewable energy should be judged as a competitiveness and security agenda, not only a climate target, and that quantified national studies make the case best.
Read more
In the Rome SymposiumEnergia posts, Rafael Solís presents the finding that closing Italy's projected 29 GW renewable capacity gap to 2030 would save between €17 billion and €25 billion a year in energy costs, add nearly €42 billion in GDP and create more than 60,000 jobs, while reducing dependence on volatile energy imports. The same framing runs through the German posts: a Berlin roundtable ties electrification to competitiveness, security and decarbonization, while EDP's entry into Germany is described as a response to the country's search for clean, local and competitive energy after reducing its reliance on Russian gas.
For brands planning a campaign
Useful for a consultancy or developer selling to policy- or board-level audiences: they can make an economic-impact argument with named figures, not just environmental benefits. That suits a policy and PPA strategy session on market-entry costs and benefits.
Another recurring subject is the power purchase agreement market and what is holding it back.
Read more
In the Re-Source 2025 recap, Solís reports that the PPA market declined from 2024 to 2025, argues that electrifying heavy industry is essential to rebuilding demand, calls for lower electricity taxes and levies so power can compete with gas, and notes that off-takers increasingly want portfolios combining wind, solar and storage, especially data-center operators needing near-continuous supply. The post also describes EDP's first sponsorship of the event as a deliberate commercial choice to improve access to off-takers and brand visibility, and confirms planned attendance at E-world energy & water.
An event-recap post with a bullet list of conference takeaways and a direct explanation of the commercial rationale for sponsoring.
For brands planning a campaign
Directly relevant to a PPA strategy session: they offer a practitioner-level view of buyer behavior, event sponsorship as a demand-generation channel, and the policy conditions that determine whether PPA deals get signed.
German market entry through acquisition, then project delivery
Several posts document EDP's build-out in Germany as an execution story.
Read more
One describes entering the market in 2022 by acquiring developer Kronos Solar, then inaugurating the first project — Ketzin, at 87 MWp and 91 GWh a year, enough for about 28,000 households and avoiding more than 75,000 tonnes of CO2 annually — with a second solar project, Meuselwitz, already under construction and wind projects including a 200 MW development in progress. A later post adds the regulatory picture from a Berlin roundtable: timely implementation of reforms, two-sided contracts for difference working alongside PPAs, grid expansion, digitalization and storage as urgent priorities, and removal of the current 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar.
Project-milestone and policy-recap posts, typically anchored in capacity, output and emissions figures.
For brands planning a campaign
Suits a market-entry brief: they can explain both the acquisition route into a mature market and the permitting, grid and market-design obstacles that shape delivery timelines.
The posts show direct engagement with policymakers and industry bodies.
Read more
One reports a meeting with the head of Brandenburg's economics, labour and energy ministry alongside EDP colleagues to discuss accelerating clean energy in the region.
Two others describe EDP's participation in a Spanish Chamber of Commerce energy working group in Italy, supported by the Spanish embassy and Confindustria, which produced the competitiveness study.
A fourth describes convening policymakers, industry leaders and experts in Berlin.
Across the set, named individuals and teams show the network of colleagues and partners around the work.
The Berlin roundtable was held under the Chatham House Rule, so the post summarizes themes without attributing views to individual participants.
For brands planning a campaign
Relevant when stakeholder access and credibility with public institutions matter: a session can treat roundtables, chamber-of-commerce working groups and ministry contact as campaign components, not just content subjects.
The posts follow a consistent structure: a short framing claim, bullet-point takeaways or project figures, thanks to named colleagues and partners, and topical hashtags.
Read more
The language is corporate but specific, attaching numbers to claims about capacity, savings, jobs and emissions.
The voice is institutional for EDP Europe rather than personal.
The Berlin roundtable post is the most policy-analytical; the Italy posts lean on a commissioned study; the PPA post reads as a commercial market briefing.
For brands planning a campaign
Expect structured, institutionally framed output rather than first-person commentary. Effective collaborations would supply concrete data or a clear policy question and let them translate it into an EDP-style market or event format.
Rafael Solís’s posts are written from inside EDP: they describe the company’s solar, wind, and power-purchase-agreement work in the first-person plural and refer to EDP’s teams.
Read more
EDP is the one brand relationship the posts document directly.
They also name Kronos Solar, the developer EDP acquired to enter the German market, and describe it as part of the same group rather than as a separate client or sponsor.
Other named event organisers, industry bodies, and policy counterparts appear in the context of EDP’s activity, not as documented relationships with Rafael Solís.

One post describes the first EDP solar park in Germany, the acquisition of Kronos Solar, and a meeting with the Brandenburg ministry; another states "At EDP, as one of the companies driving this initiative," about a renewables study in Italy. The posts do not give a job title.
Rafael Solís publishes on EDP's European renewable-energy work in two main registers: project and market delivery, and the policy conditions that determine how quickly it can happen.
Read more
Start with the German material: Solís explains the 2022 decision to enter the market by acquiring developer Kronos Solar, then inaugurates the first project from that pipeline, the 87 MWp Ketzin solar park, with capacity, output and emissions figures.
The Berlin roundtable post covers regulation, including permitting timelines, two-sided contracts for difference alongside PPAs, grid expansion and storage, and the 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar.
The Re-Source 2025 recap turns to buyers, explaining why corporate power purchase agreements are a route to market and what is slowing them: declining deal volumes from 2024 to 2025, the need to electrify heavy industry, and off-taker demand for wind, solar and storage portfolios.
The two Rome posts on the Italian competitiveness study show how Solís builds a case, using quantified national benefits in savings, GDP and jobs rather than climate framing alone.
Across the five posts, a recurring method emerges: a framing claim, numbered or bulleted takeaways, named colleagues and partner organisations, and closing hashtags.
Marketers following the European renewables market for policy, market entry or PPA strategy will find the project and policy posts useful together: Solís presents what gets built and the rules that determine how much gets built as parts of the same story.

Both treat policy and regulation as the variables that determine whether projects move, and explain market developments: Peev covers Sweden's stalled offshore wind and China's renewable growth; Solís covers German permitting and the European PPA market.
Peev writes about technology and digitalisation, arguing that monitoring, AI and smart-grid tools help developers and operators manage grid and security constraints.
They close posts with an invitation to discuss client work.
Solís writes institutionally for EDP Europe, grounding posts in named project figures and policy roundtables and crediting colleagues and partner organisations rather than offering consultancy services.
Bhebhe and Solís frame the energy transition as an economic and industrial question, not just a climate one.
Read more
Bhebhe's opinion piece asks whether Africa can own the technology and profits, not just export minerals. Solís uses a similar frame, presenting the Italian study's savings, GDP and jobs figures rather than relying on decarbonisation targets.
Bhebhe focuses on African industrialisation and scaling innovation, covering battery recycling, storage, electric mobility and support for young founders through an innovation challenge.
They make the case through first-person opinion writing.
Solís covers European utility projects, corporate PPA markets and policy engagement within an established company's market-entry and route-to-market agenda.
Guhl writes about renewable-energy work and the people around it, including a personal post on an eight-year chapter leading a northern Canadian solar company and the community and Indigenous partnerships built during it, as well as a reflection on a family legacy tied to an earlier hydroelectric project.
Read more
Solís also names colleagues, teams and partners rather than presenting projects as solo achievements. Both connect energy work to longer-term consequences.
Guhl's reflective, personal posts cover career transitions, family, community-scale projects in the Yukon and a sister company working on food security, all within a regional northern market. Solís writes at European utility scale, using project capacity and output figures alongside detailed regulatory and PPA market analysis.
Rafael Solís's LinkedIn profile shows a small, professionally concentrated following rather than broad consumer reach.

That fits a policy-and-PPA strategy session aimed at European developers, consultancies, and off-takers better than a mass awareness push.
The profile had 3,268 followers as of 9 October 2026, making audience composition more important than size.
Five posts cover a German solar project milestone, RE-Source PPA conference takeaways, an Italian renewables-and-competitiveness study, and a Berlin roundtable on German energy policy.
Before setting a reach target or assuming direct access to procurement decision-makers, ask for recent results on comparable posts: reach and impressions, comments or engagement from named off-takers or policy contacts, and any audience survey or demographic data.

Rafael Solís's posts describe EDP corporate work, not a personal creator offer: EDP sponsored Re-Source 2025, the main European meeting point for power purchase agreements, and convened a Chatham House Rule roundtable in Berlin with policymakers, industry leaders, and experts on German energy regulation.
Read more
They do not publish a sponsorship, paid-partnership, or creator-collaboration format, rate card, media kit, or direct booking channel. Buyers planning a policy and PPA strategy session should ask whether Solís is available for a partnership and how to arrange one; no official inquiry route is provided.
Need A — a European renewables developer or advisory firm preparing to enter the German market and looking for a policy and PPA strategy session.
Read more
Rafael Solís's posts point most directly to this need.
Their account of EDP's German entry shows the full path a market-entry client would need to plan: entering in 2022 by acquiring local developer Kronos Solar, then inaugurating the Ketzin plant at 87 MWp and 91 GWh a year, enough for about 28,000 households and avoiding more than 75,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, with a second solar project at Meuselwitz already under construction and wind development advancing, including a 200 MW project.
This is a documented sequence from route selection through construction to operation.
The Berlin roundtable post adds the second half of the agenda a developer faces: timely implementation of reforms because investment follows clarity, a market design where two-sided contracts for difference work alongside PPAs, grid expansion, digitalisation and storage as urgent priorities, clear rules for hybridisation, and removal of the 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar.
The Brandenburg ministry meeting recorded in the Ketzin post shows the permit-and-grid relationship, not just the policy theory.
For offtake, the Re-Source 2025 recap is the most commercial item in the posts: a PPA market that declined from 2024 to 2025, electrifying heavy industry to rebuild demand, lower electricity taxes and levies so power can compete with gas, and off-takers increasingly wanting portfolios of wind, solar and storage, especially data-centre operators needing full availability.
A session built on those four strands — entry route, permitting and grid, PPA structures and buyer requirements, and named stakeholder mapping — matches the work their posts show.
The listed profile has 3,268 LinkedIn followers, with content written for policymakers, corporate buyers and industry peers.
When to choose a specialist
Need B — a consumer-facing campaign for a residential solar installer, a home-energy product or an electric-vehicle charging brand seeking wide consumer awareness through creator content, or a campaign requiring first-person product content with measured reach guarantees.
Read more
Three points argue against it.
First, the register is institutional rather than personal: the posts are written as EDP Europe corporate communication, opening with a framing claim, then bullet-point takeaways or project figures, thanks to named colleagues and partners, and topical hashtags at the close.
A brand seeking informal, first-person demonstration content would be buying a different tone from the one their posts show.
Second, there is no documented sponsorship, partnership or creator-collaboration format and no verified inquiry route, so a consumer campaign has no published mechanism to book or brief this work.
The company-level events described — EDP's sponsorship of Re-Source 2025 and the Berlin roundtable — are not a personal rate card or media kit.
Third, the listed profile has 3,268 followers, with no per-post performance, demographic data or audience survey published, and content addressed to policy and procurement audiences rather than household buyers.
Before booking, ask for audience and performance data, a media kit and the booking route; their posts do not support promises of consumer reach, consumer-facing creative or performance-based delivery.
A worked campaign example
Campaign angle: a paid policy and PPA strategy session for a European developer entering Germany.
Premise to test with the client: they are weighing whether to buy a local development pipeline or build greenfield capacity, and need a defensible market-entry plan plus a shortlist of stakeholders to approach.
Proposed format: a 90-minute closed briefing followed by a written route-to-market memo, modelled on the roundtable style of convening visible in Solís's posts, where themes are synthesised rather than presented from a stage.
Agenda, mapped to what the posts show: (1) Entry route — acquisition of a local developer versus greenfield development, using EDP's 2022 Kronos Solar acquisition and the Ketzin inauguration as the worked comparison, including what the acquired portfolio actually delivered.
(2) Permitting and grid — the argument that investment follows clarity, the barrier of the 50 MW cap on utility-scale solar, and grid expansion, digitalisation, storage and hybridisation rules as conditions that set delivery timelines.
(3) Offtake — two-sided contracts for difference working alongside PPAs, the 2024-to-2025 PPA market decline, the case that electrifying heavy industry rebuilds demand, electricity taxes and levies against gas-fired competition, and buyer appetite for wind-plus-solar-plus-storage portfolios that can serve data centres needing near-continuous supply.
(4) Stakeholders — how ministry contact and industry-body working groups function as campaign components in their own right, drawing on the meeting with the head of Brandenburg's economics, labour and energy ministry and EDP's role in the Spanish Chamber of Commerce energy working group in Italy.
Deliverables: a one-page route-to-market memo with the chosen entry route and its tradeoffs, and a named-stakeholder approach list.
Follow-on option to test: treating event sponsorship as a demand-generation channel, as their posts describe EDP's first sponsorship of Re-Source 2025 as a deliberate decision to improve access to off-takers and brand visibility, with E-world energy & water named as the next stop.
Before booking, settle the session's length and price, whether written follow-up is included, availability, and whether references from comparable engagements exist.
Choose Peev over Solís when the client's entry problem is the build-and-operate chain and its digital layer, rather than PPA structures and stakeholder mapping.
Read more
Peev walks through the sequence from site selection and feasibility to permitting, environmental assessment, stakeholder consultation, financing, construction, grid connection, operation and maintenance, with typical wind lifespans of 35 to 40 years.
They argue that digitalisation — real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, AI, digital twins and big data — helps match production to demand and weather, ease grid integration and support dynamic pricing.
The Nordic material is the sharpest differentiator: Peev reports that Sweden's wind sector stalled in 2025, with no new Baltic offshore turbine orders because of defence concerns tied to NATO accession; that the government rejected 13 Baltic Sea offshore projects on security grounds; and that Sweden is compensating with onshore wind, hybrid solar-wind plants and nuclear.
For a client weighing Nordic entry, or whose session is really about delivery risk and security-of-supply constraints rather than offtake contracts, this is more specific than anything in Solís's posts.
Peev's posts contain no offtake or PPA commercial material: no contract structures, buyer requirements or negotiation perspective like the one in Solís's Re-Source 2025 recap.
Their closing lines invite a direct message, positioning the posts partly as lead generation for digitalisation services rather than neutral market analysis.
Clients focused on selling power, structuring a contract or approaching a ministry would get less from this material than from Solís's.
Ask Peev for examples of relevant commercial or policy work before booking.
Choose Bhebhe when a client's needs extend beyond Europe to African market entry, local industrial value capture or innovation programmes as a route into a market.
Read more
Bhebhe's posts describe Africa Change Lab's collaboration with the Africa Centre for Energy Policy on the Innovation Challenge Afro-Hackathon at the Future of Energy Conference 2026.
The challenge targets applicants aged 15 to 35 with a prototype or proven concept in battery management systems, solar and off-grid storage, e-mobility, battery recycling and circular economy, or battery-powered clean cooking, and offers grant support, mentorship and investor introductions.
The companion opinion piece for TRT Afrika makes the strategic argument directly: Africa can mine lithium and cobalt, but if the patents, manufacturing and profits are built elsewhere, the continent has only changed what it exports.
That framing—possessing the ingredients versus owning the recipe—is useful for a client entering a resource-rich market who needs to think about local content, skills and enterprise building.
It is a different conversation from stakeholder mapping and PPA design.
Bhebhe's posts say nothing about corporate PPAs, contracts for difference, grid connection rules or ministry-level engagement in Europe—the core of Solís's session.
Their focus is ecosystem building, grant-funded innovation and industrial policy for Africa.
Clients preparing a European route-to-market memo, a shortlist of European stakeholders or an offtake plan would find this material adjacent rather than directly usable.
Choose Guhl when the client's market is northern, remote or small, and community and Indigenous partnership is central to getting projects built and accepted.
Read more
Guhl offers a founder-operator's view.
They describe joining a small Yukon solar company on 19 March 2018 and stepping away as President of Solvest after eight years, during which it grew into Northern Canada's largest renewable energy company, working with Indigenous governments, development corporations, businesses and homeowners across the North.
The family plaque post adds a long-view dimension: a 1988 Whitehorse think tank that predicted more solar generation and hydroponics, and a grandfather who worked on the Aishihik Lake hydroelectric station that still produces clean energy for the territory.
For a client entering a region where land rights, local consent and long-term community relationships determine whether a project proceeds, this is concrete operating experience.
Ask Guhl how that experience translates to the client's specific market.
The scale is small and community-based, and the material is largely personal and reflective rather than a market-assessment record. Clients seeking a large-utility route-to-market plan, offtake structuring or European regulatory detail should ask for relevant project experience; the posts point instead to partnership-led development in northern or remote markets.
Rafael Solís's LinkedIn posts cover a German solar-park inauguration and the Kronos Solar acquisition behind it, a Re-Source 2025 recap on the European corporate PPA market, two posts on an Italian renewables-and-competitiveness study, and a Berlin roundtable on German energy-transition regulation.
The posts do not carry publication dates in the text here, so they are placed by the events they name, including Re-Source 2025 and Italy's 2030 capacity target; the listed account is dated October 2026.
Comparisons with three other renewable-energy creators draw on two posts each from their accounts.
Gaps that would change a reader's view remain open: nothing in Solís's posts establishes their job title at EDP, earlier career, or work outside energy projects, markets and policy; no sponsorship or paid-partnership disclosure appears in any post; and no per-post performance, audience demographics, transcripts or video are available, so reach claims are limited to the follower count on the listed profile.
Method notes stay brief here so that the substantive modules carry the analysis.
