To date, two 700MW high-voltage cables between Morocco and Spain are the only interconnections between the two continents.

Solar and storage are playing a key role in Japan's push towards energy security, according to Uranulzii Batbayer and Aniket Autade of Rystad.

India has installed a record 6.2GW of new solar capacity in March 2024, nearly doubling the previous record for all renewables, according to a report from Rystad Energy.

Figures from US research firm Rystad Energy suggest that the world will need to invest US$3.1 trillion into grid infrastructure before 2030.

EU's solar power generation is expected to increase by 50TWh this year thanks to increased capacity installations, according to Rystad Energy.

Southeast Asia is expected to add 300MW of floating solar PV (FPV) capacity in early 2024, according to a report from research firm Rystad Energy.

Countries beyond China will need to invest US$700 billion to develop their renewables production capacity, according to Rystad Energy.

Under the agreement, Velto Renewables and Kenergy will co-develop early-stage solar power projects in Spain.

In October, Turkish energy minister Alparslan Bayraktar said Turkey will need to install 5GW of solar and wind capacity every year until 2035, as renewables have great potential to meet the 2035 target of ‘supplying reliable and affordable energy in an environmentally friendly manner’.

From 2023-2025, investments in Southeast Asian renewables will exceed US$76 billion, and this investment amount will likely continue to rise.
