Power Plants

Danish developer European Energy has commissioned its first solar PV power plant in Australia, a 58MW site situated in Victoria.

JinkoSolar reports on some of the work the company is doing to develop and test products to withstand the rigours of the marine environment.

AMEA Power has started construction at a 50MW solar power plant in Gontougo, in the north-east of the Ivory Coast.

Argentinian renewables developer Genneia has launched its first solar PV plant in the Argentinian region of Mendoza.

Interest in solar PV projects saw a downward trend from Chinese central state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in 2024.

Last year has marked a turning point for Chinese energy and power enterprises' investments in PV power plants in China.

As storage capacity installation grew in double digits during Q4 2024, added solar PV grew by 6% year-on-year to 242MW in Q4 2024.

The portfolio will consist of around 1,100 ground-mounted, rooftop and carport projects built across France, which are expected to be completed by 2027.

The Australian government has opened a consultation into the upcoming Western Australia Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender design.

Despite strong numbers forecast for 2025, this would represent a year-on-year decline from China's 277GW of solar PV installed in 2024.
