Sri Lanka approves hospital rooftop PV system
23 August: Sri Lanka’s Cabinet of Ministers has approved the installation of a 450kW solar power system at a hospital in Colombo.
The rooftop system will be placed on the Naval Hospital in Welisara with the aim of reducing electricity costs.
Andhra Pradesh introduces forecasting rules
21 August: The Indian state of Andhra Pradesh has introduced new forecasting and scheduling rules for wind and solar generation that include penalties for deviation.
The legislation was provided by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC).
PV Tech recently reported on the steady rise of new forecasting rules across various states in India, where the threat of penalties are being introduced as the energy network strives to integrate increasing penetration of renewables. Karnataka, for example, is another state where similar rules have been brought in.
BHEL searching for A&N Islands storage partnership
22 August: Vertically-integrated solar firm and industrial goods company Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has issued notices looking for partners to work on battery-based energy storage systems to be co-located with PV in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands
These projects, tendered by the utility NTPC, include a 17MW solar PV plant at Manglutan in South Andaman, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and an 8MW PV project at Chidiyatapu.
PV IndiaTech
The PV IndiaTech 2020 conference will continue to bring together all key domestic and overseas stakeholders, including government bodies, investors, and the leading companies today from manufacturing to O&M and asset management. To thrive globally as a major PV power beyond 2020, India has to succeed in unlocking its potential both to manufacture and to lay claim to quality utility-scale solar farms that are providing high returns on investment to site owners.
Solar & Storage Finance USA
Now in its sixth successful year, Solar & Storage Finance USA is the only event which looks at raising capital for solar, storage and collocated solar and storage projects in the USA. The conference will help delegates understand how providers are evolving propositions for storage and how they can access capital for standalone solar or storage, and co-located projects. Meet debt providers, funders, utilities, corporate off takers and blue chip energy firms with capital to invest and developers with credible pipelines.
