Developer Terra-Gen and contractor Mortenson have agreed to go ahead with what they claim is the world's largest standalone solar-plus-storage project in Kern County, California, US.
The UK government has published a ten-point plan for how it intends to accelerate a green industrial revolution in the country, but has omitted solar PV entirely.
US wholesale electricity supplier NextEra Energy Resources has said 700MW of contracted battery energy storage resources it will deploy California within two years could be followed by a further 2,000MW pipeline of battery projects under development in the state.
Driven by declining module costs, solar was by far the world’s leading power-generating technology installed in 2019, making up 45% of new capacity, according to BloombergNEF.
