German agriculture group BayWa is forecasting a significant revenue rise for its renewables unit this year, thanks to a strong project pipeline and growth in PV component trading.
The rapid scale-up of solar capacity in the European Union drove the growth of renewable electricity generation, which overtook that of fossil fuels for the first time last year.
BayWa r.e. and its Dutch subsidiary GroenLeven have recently energised two floating solar projects in the Netherlands with a combined capacity of 29.2MWp.
Despite its generation characteristics, floating solar has yet to truly fulfil its undoubted potential. Jules Scully explores why the technology continues to face hurdles, and what the industry is doing to surpass them.
ACWA Power and Iberdrola are among the seven founders of a new coalition that aims to scale up the production of green hydrogen 50-fold in the next six years while halving production costs.
A round-up of the latest news in solar project development, as juwi hits 3GW installed PV milestone, Greencells makes further progress in the Netherlands and plans for a Cambodian solar-plus-storage microgrid are announced.
BayWa r.e. will add 500MW of additional floating solar in the coming years in a move to take advantage of increasing demand for the technology among asset owners.
BayWa r.e. will explore how hydrogen production linked to a 50MWp solar farm in the Netherlands can ease grid congestion as part of a new pilot project alongside its Dutch subsidiary GroenLeven and network operator Alliander.
