The US Navy has committed to developing 210MW of solar PV across 14 military installations in what has been labeled the largest purchase of renewable energy ever agreed by a US federal entity.
Despite Reuters and whole bunch of mainstream media as well as some specialists in the renewable’s field having initially pronounced a major US$4 billion JV between SunEdison and India’s large conglomerate, Adani Group was a done deal back at the beginning of the year, those that did so should re-acquaint themselves with the terms 'memorandum of understanding' (MOU) and 'feasibility study'.
The solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) arm of Sterling & Wilson, an Indian mechanical, electrical and plumbing services company, will install its first Philippines-based PV plant.
Enphase Energy (Enphase) CEO Paul Nahi said the company has enjoyed “strong demand” for its solar energy systems in the US, Australia and Europe, resulting in record shipments of 195MW for the second quarter of this year.
Deployment of 1-5MW solar systems in Brazil is forecast to more than triple in 2016, after new net-metering proposals, according to a leading analyst on the Latin America region.
There were 1.2GW of US residential solar installations last year, of which 72% was third-party owned (TPO) through leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs), according to a GTM research study.
Argentina, one of the underperformers in Latin America’s quickly rising solar energy industry so far, could get a 20MW PV plant built on government land.
Brazil’s energy regulator National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) has set a cap price of BRL349 (US$104) per MWh for its solar-only auction to be held on 28 August.
