nuclear power

Solar and wind installations in the US generated more electricity than the country’s nuclear power plants for the first time in April.

More than 20GW of non-hydro capacity expected to come online in Taiwan by 2030, driven by solar installations and offshore wind.

State subsidies, development and private capital will bankroll 11 solar plants, 10 wind plants and 80-metre-wide grid in radiation-damaged prefecture, according to local reports.

A dozen project winners will deploy first 62.5MW solar batch by country’s older nuclear plant Fessenheim, with plans to tender further 240MW next year.
