Projects

A partnership led by Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure (GSI) alongside the Ocean Man First Nation community – Iyuhána Solar – has been awarded a contract by regional Canadian utility SaskPower to build and operate a 100MW solar PV facility

Aside from the immediate, visible damage, extreme weather events have a longer lasting impact on PV systems. NREL’s Dirk C. Jordan, Kirsten Perry, Robert White, Josh Parker, Byron McDanold and Chris Deline report on research revealing the long-term consequences of hail, wind and other weather phenomena on PV production.

Silicon Ranch initiates site acquisition and interconnection processes for owned and operated utility-scale solar and battery projects with a capacity of over 500MW

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has given approval to Green Infra Wind Energy to build a 450MW hybrid solar-plus-wind project.

Electricity generation from low-emission sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear will cover all global demand growth to 2026.

Solar PV accounted for 55.8% of the total power generation capacity added to the Indian grid in 2023, including fossil fuel additions which rose considerably over the year in response to growing electricity demand.

Germany commissioned more than one million new solar power projects in 2023, according to the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW).

The growth of global annual solar PV installations will start to slow this year, including the US, according to Woodmac.

US renewable energy developer Deriva Energy has acquired a 140MW solar PV project in Colorado from German solar developer JUWI.

According to Syliva Levya Martinez, principal analyst of North American utility-scale solar at Wood Mackenzie: “These are not the last of these types of transactions we’re going to see”.
