RWE, the German renewable energy developer, will offer profit returns to municipalities where one of their wind or solar farms is located as part of an expansion of the German Renewable Energies Act (EEG).
Dutch-Norwegian floating solar company SolarDuck has been selected as the provider of offshore floating PV technology for a hybrid power plant in the Netherlands.
