Hassan Allam Utilities Energy Platform and Infinity Power have signed agreements to develop two renewable energy projects in the country. 

Developer Pacific Energy has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Horizon Power to deliver a hybrid power system to the town of Leonora in Western Australia's goldfields, aiming for up to 60% renewable energy penetration by 2027.

The Australian government has approved the 300MW Dunmore solar-plus-storage project near Toowoomba, Queensland, completing the environmental assessment process in just 19 days.

The increasing technical complexity of the renewable energy space has increased the demands on capital raising for those in the sector.

Osaka Gas and Sonnedix have announced plans to install a BESS at the latter's 38.7MW Oita solar project in Japan.

Pacific Energy has completed the installation of all 66,000 solar modules for a 35MW solar PV plant at a Western Australian mining site.

PV Tech spoke with Symons Xie, general manager of Anker SOLIX APAC, at All-Energy Australia 2025, where the organisation outlined its strategy for establishing a major presence in Australia's rapidly growing home battery and energy storage market.

Syncarpha Capital has completed construction work at the 7.1MW Acton solar-plus-storage project in the US state of Massachusetts.

Israel-headquartered IPP Enlight has secured US$150 million in financing to support a solar-plus-storage project in the US.

Acen Australia has achieved full commercial operation at its 400MW Stubbo Solar project in New South Wales, making it the first solar PV power plant backed by a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) to reach this milestone.
