Located in the northern municipality of Nagua, the Payita 2 solar park will be paired with a 4-hour duration 15MW/60MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).

Located in Salamanca, Castille y León, the project will be amongst the largest in the autonomous region, once completed, according to Plenitude.

The loan guarantee will allow for the development of up to 200MW of solar PV and 285MW/1,140MWh of standalone BESS in Puerto Rico.

Estimates for the whole of 2024, taking into account the numbers of 2023, would put curtailments of renewables at over 4.5TWh, said ACERA.

As has been the case in many of Germany’s recent solar PV auctions, the innovation tender ended up oversubscribed with 1.8GW of capacity.

Construction of the cell plant in Ethiopia is expected to start in November 2024, with the start of production aimed at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

India’s state-owned company the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) has issued a tender seeking up to 2.4GW of solar PV capacity across India.

Chinese solar PV manufacturer TCL Zhonghuan has appointed Wang Yanjun as its new chief executive officer (CEO).

Vietnamese solar manufacturer Boviet Solar has started construction on its 2GW TOPCon module assembly plant in North Carolina, US, with the solar cell plant to follow suit.

This is the first operational renewable project for the IPP in the US, and is part of a 1.8GW development portfolio in the country.
