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.
In 2023, a collective US$1.8 trillion went towards energy transition technologies and their supply chains, including solar PV and other renewable generation, grids, electrified transport and clean tech factories.
Alantra – a renewables asset manager – and solar developer Solarig have secured €213 million (US$232 million) to support the construction of seven solar PV projects with a total 306MWp of generation capacity.
A partnership led by Greenwood Sustainable Infrastructure (GSI) alongside the Ocean Man First Nation community – Iyuhána Solar – has been awarded a contract by regional Canadian utility SaskPower to build and operate a 100MW solar PV facility
Solar PV accounted for 55.8% of the total power generation capacity added to the Indian grid in 2023, including fossil fuel additions which rose considerably over the year in response to growing electricity demand.
