utility-scale solar

Australia has topped the international leaderboard in scaling electricity generation from low-emission and clean technologies, with growth between 2018 and 2023 at just over 100%.

The loan guarantee will allow for the development of up to 200MW of solar PV and 285MW/1,140MWh of standalone BESS in Puerto Rico.

The US added 18.5GWac of utility-scale solar capacity in 2023, and added 14.3GWac of such capacity in the first eight months of 2024.

Solar PV is set to account for 80% of the 5,500GW of new clean energy additions made by 2030, according to the IEA.

The companies dubbed it the ‘largest’ solar park in the Baltics and double the capacity of the previous largest operational solar PV plant in Estonia.

Sonnedix has acquired an 80MW solar PV plant in Sicily, Italy, from Blunova, which is part of a wider agreement to acquire a 250MW portfolio.

A report from American Clean Power Association shows that Texas has nearly 22GW of installed solar PV capacity after adding 1.6GW in Q2 2024.

The modules themselves comprise 72 of Oxford PV’s perovskite-on-silicon cells with a conversion efficiency of 24.5%.

The Climate Change Authority has signalled that Australia’s electricity and energy sector accounts for 35% of the country’s emissions.

In total 93 ground-based solar PV projects were awarded Contracts for Difference in the sixth auction round (AR6).
