The Australian government has granted development approval for Lightsource bp’s proposed 450MW Goulburn River Solar Farm in New South Wales.

On Friday (4 October), the US and Australia emphasised their support for developing clean solar PV supply chains, which could leverage both countries’ investments and complementary resources from their respective solar industries.

Once complete, the project is intended to produce 5GW of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cells and 3GW of modules.

NextPower UK ESG has signed one of the UK’s largest solar sleeved PV PPAs with Anglian Water Services covering the 75MW Llanwern project.

Indian state-owned energy company GAIL has partnered with green gases producer AM Green (AMG) to jointly explore establishing 2.5GW of hybrid solar PV and wind projects across India.

The new projects will support new capacity in Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico as well as Maine.

The Australian government has granted Spanish solar PV developer X-Elio the green light to develop its 350MW Sixteen Mile solar-plus-storage project in Queensland.
