Power Plants

A new European offshore solar industry consortium has been formed to conduct research and development (R&D) in offshore solar in the Netherlands.

Solar tracker and racking provider Solar Steel has signed a supply agreement for 118MW of PV trackers to a project in Chile.

Major Chinese solar PV manufacturer Canadian Solar has signed a supply agreement with US solar company Sol Systems.

The construction bridge financing loan will finance the construction of 16 solar PV plants with a combined capacity of 114.7MW across Poland.

Someva Renewables and AGL have announced plans to build a 1.5GW renewable power plant, which will include 300MW of new solar capacity.

Solar PV deployments increased by 85% year-on-year in 2023, more than any other renewable technology in a year which saw clean energy deployments curb the rise in carbon emissions.

Hail represents a significant threat to PV modules, more so as climate change increases the potential for severe storms.

The selection of a module's technology should be more dependent on effective dollar per watt rather than the cost of the product.

US independent power producer (IPP) Enfinity Global has secured €25 million (US$27 million) in assetco financing towards the construction of a 134MW solar PV project portfolio in Italy.

Spanish independent power producer Grenergy has secured €175 million (US$190 million) in green financing for the construction of 300MW Spanish solar portfolio.
