A more “intelligent” grid in Eastern Europe would be of benefit for the region, according to speakers at Solar Media’s LSSCEE.

Shanghai Electric has won the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build the 2GW Al-Sadawi PV project in Saudi Arabia.

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) has forecasted that the US is set to add 32GW of utility-scale solar PV capacity in 2024.

SPE said the inverter industry “faces difficulties due to global manufacturing overcapacity and a slowdown in the rooftop PV segment in several important European markets.”

Maintaining a varied approach for solar and storage projects could add a valuable aspect of flexibility, according to panelists at LSSCEE.

Estonian independent power producer (IPP) Sunly has started construction of a 244MW solar PV plant in its home country.

Getting projects to the 'ready-to-bank' stage is a key challenge for Eastern Europe’s energy transition, according to speakers at LSSCEE 2024.

Western Australia’s Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has set the environmental criteria for the Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH), a 70GW solar and wind mega-project.

Developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) Australia has confirmed that the first energisation at its 353MW Walla Walla solar PV power plant has been completed.

Earlier this year a revision of Europe’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive came into force, setting new standards for decarbonisation of the built environment. Dr Silke Krawietz looks at how the updated policy could drive a step-change in the deployment of building-integrated PV.
