Swedish developer Solkompaniet and investment firm Niam have entered into a framework agreement to invest €300 million in utility-scale solar PV in Sweden.
Plenitude, a renewables subsidiary of oil major Eni, has partnered with IPP Infrastrutture to develop 1.5GW of solar PV and wind projects in Italy and Spain.
India’s government has approved the second round of the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme to incentivise domestic solar PV module manufacturing.
Solar accounted for half of all global power generating capacity added last year, with 182GW deployed, a 25% increase on 2020, according to a report from BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Under the REPowerEU scenario to install 750GWdc of solar across the European Union by 2030, the bloc will require 1 million solar workers, double the numbers from 2021.
