Nuclear reactors approaching end-of-life, a sound PV manufacturing industry and a robust legal system all make a strong case for solar PV to muscle into Taiwan’s energy mix. Last year, a new government set a target of 20GW solar by 2025, but the industry must deal with scarce land availability and the threat of typhoons. PV Tech examines some of the huge numbers being proposed and what it will take to realise them.
Century Tokyo Leasing Corp has acquired a 15% stake in French developer Ciel & Terre International in order to produce floating-solar technology, according to a report from Bloomberg Business.
India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has written to state governments instructing them to set up new 'solar zones' to encourage private sector development of large-scale PV projects.
