The Jamaican Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) has announced the winner of its most recent renewable energy procurement project. The preferred selected bidder, Eight Rivers Energy Company (EREC), is to construct, operate and own a 33.1MW solar PV plant at Paradise Park in Westmoreland, at a proposed lowest electricity price of 8.54 US cents/kWh.
Italian renewable energy firm Enertronica has acquired a US$7.98 million 6MW PV plant in Namibia, under a 25-year PPA with NamPower, at an initial value of US$1.37kWh.
SunPower announced Tuesday that construction has begun on the 11.4MW of solar power systems for public facilities operated by the County of Santa Clara in California.
Despite claims by the company and automatic acceptance by the mainstream media, SunEdison’s position as the ‘world's largest renewable energy developer’ almost came to fruition in 2015.
OCI Solar Power and energy professionals group Buenavista Renewables (BVR) joined with the local Mexican government to commemorate what is claimed to be Mexico’s first private solar park.
The results of Mexico’s first clean energy auction were even better than expected, with an exponential increase in solar in the country forecasted this year as a result. The awarded capacity is scheduled to be put to good use, with big winners releasing details of projects earlier this week.
