Projects

Victoria-based electricity distribution company Powercor has been granted a new transmission licence to connect large-scale solar PV, wind generation, and battery energy storage, in Australia's southern state.

Located in Clay County, Origis will develop, construct and operate the Hope Solar + Storage project with a BESS capacity of 200MW/800MWh.

Australia’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has revealed that over 7GW of renewable energy capacity could be added in the country by the end of 2024.

Insurer kWh Analytics has launched a US$2.4 million initiative to “develop innovative approaches” to improve the resilience of PV projects.

Axpo has started operations at the largest rooftop solar project in France, an industrial facility with a power generation capacity of 12.8MW.

Developer rPlus Energies has broken ground on a solar PV plant in Utah, US, co-located with 1.6GWh of battery storage.

Entergy commissioned a 100MW project in the state of Arkansas, while Ammper Power and Elawan signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Texas.

Solar Steel has signed a deal to supply Spanish firm Global Energy Services (GES) with 50MW of its 1P trackers.

BNZ has secured a €166 million (US$185.4 million) loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for 700MW of new solar capacity in Europe.

One of the “market signals” the company cited is an increase in negative electricity prices across Europe, as supply exceeds demand.
