New Zealand solar PV developer Lodestone Energy has energised its largest solar power plant to date: the 42MW Te Herenga o Te Rā site in the Bay of Plenty, a large bight on New Zealand’s northern island.

The acquisition is part of the company’s plan to invest over €1 billion (US$1 billion) in French clean energy by the end of 2025.

French independent power producer Reden has recently launched a module assembly line with an annual nameplate capacity of 200MW in France.

French independent power producer (IPP) TSE has secured €65 million (US$68 million) bond financing from asset management firm Eiffel Investment Group for a 800MW agrivoltaics portfolio.

Pioneering projects in China are demonstrating how the potential of solar power can be harnessed across a wide range of new settings. Carrie Xiao explores the many applications for PV beyond traditional power plants.

In total, 540 projects were awarded capacity in a tender that ended up oversubscribed with more than 1.7GW capacity tendered and 643 bids.

Roman Karbowy of the Polish Photovoltaics Association spoke exclusively to PV Tech Premium about Poland's solar 'revolution'.

'This revolution came not from the large-scale PV, but started from the really small scale, up to 1MW installations,' says Roman Karbowy.

SolarPower Europe's 'Agrisolar Handbook’ provides policy recommendations for Europe's agriPV sector, including clarifications to the CAP.

Australian renewable energy developer Edify Energy has submitted a 250MW solar-plus-storage project in Victoria to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act queue.
