Sustained private investment into UK solar is starting to produce results, at least with regard to the role of solar power in its energy mix.

Dutch pension fund APG has agreed to provide Octopus Australia with AU$1 billion to support its solar, wind, and BESS portfolio.

Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has announced it has invested a record AU$4.7 billion (US$3.09 billion) in large-scale renewables, energy storage, and transmission projects during the 12-month period ending 30 June 2025.

Implementing greater policy clarity pertaining to the EPBD will be essential if Europe is to realise its distributed rooftop solar targets.

Planning uncertainty and policy instability regarding renewables in Queensland have seen it slip in investment attractiveness, with New South Wales now leading Australia.

Meeting the UK’s solar targets will not simply require the installation of new capacity, but investment in grid infrastructure and training.

Imbalances in investment mean that action will be needed if the solar industry is to help meet the world’s climate change targets.

Boralex is driving organic growth across Canada, the US, France, and the UK, fueled by a project pipeline totalling 8GW.

The World Bank has approved a loan of around US$600 million to support the development of 540MW of new solar and wind capacity in Indonesia.

Policy uncertainty in the US is likely to disrupt investment in clean energy, according to a recent report from Crux.
