pv power plants

Indonesian energy policy think tank, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), has penned a new report stating that the country stands to gain from the influx of new solar manufacturing capabilities yet is still underutilising its generation potential.

Solar PV developer Lightsource bp has commenced construction on a 450MW solar PV plant in New South Wales, Australia, and a 214MW solar-plus-storage project in Queensland.

SEIA said that its ten-point list of priorities is designed 'to ensure the US is the world’s dominant solar and storage market.'

Australian trade association Clean Energy Investor Group has warned that the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act has seen a doubling in decision-making periods from 2021 to 2023.

The successful projects of the first CIS tender round in Australia have been revealed, with 2.75GW of solar PV being awarded.

Recurrent Energy has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with an unnamed US tech company for a solar project in northern Spain.

Arevon said the project, in Kern County, brings its operational renewable energy capacity in California alone to over 3GW.

Sunstone is set to begin its engineering and procurement phase in early 2025 and start phased construction in 2026.

Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has revealed that large-scale solar PV capital costs have fallen by 8% in Australia for the second year running.

Power from the project, which is under construction, will be sold to PGE under a 25-year contract and marketed through its Green Future Impact (GFI) scheme.
