Tasmania’s George Town council approved plans for a 288MW solar PV power plant this week, which is being pursued in Australia by German renewable energy developer ib vogt.
Signed through a 20-year PPA with Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDP), a state-owned company, the electricity generated from the plant will be sold at a fixed price of US$0.1094/kWh.
Solar developer ib vogt has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with US tech company Apple, offering power from a 134MWp solar PV project in Spain.
Spanish utility Iberdrola has signed an agreement with solar developer ib vogt for the construction of a 245MW solar PV plant in Sicily, northern Italy.
The combination of strict land legislation, elaborate permitting and a fiercely competitive solar developer market trying to meet ambitious PV deployment targets is causing issues for the French solar market.
