In this month’s episode of the Solar Media Podcast, Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe discuss how the clean energy economy is responding to the coronavirus, while Andy reports from PV Expo in Tokyo, which itself felt the effects of the virus outbreak.

Meanwhile, Liam explores what the return of solar and other established renewables to the UK’s Contracts for Difference process means, and we hear about how the UK’s COP26 preparations are taking place across the globe. BP’s net zero plans are also up for discussion, as is Jeff Bezos’ climate fund.
