This solar PV tender is the first of two 2 GW tenders planned by the KEA in 2022.

The Assam state, located in northeastern India, recently commissioned a 70 MW solar power project, and 100 MW are currently under construction.

In March alone, wind (1,418-MW) and solar (240-MW) accounted for 100% of the new capacity brought on-line for the month.

Australia has more household solar per person than any other country. With the parallel growth of behind-the-meter (BTM) batteries, companies are seizing the opportunity to create Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)

Reports of more than 300 utility-scale solar projects have been stalled or delayed in recent weeks, and solar installers across the country are nervous this crawl could last for an extended period.

China’s Shandong Provincial Energy Administration has called for proposals to build 10 fixed offshore solar PV power plants, with a combined capacity of 11.25 GW and set to be realised between 2022 and 2025.

The bloc should have at least 1,000 gigawatts of photovoltaics installed in the region by 2030 -- equivalent to roughly the world’s current capacity -- according to a joint letter signed by Austria, Belgium, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Spain to the bloc’s climate chief Frans Timmermans and Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson.

The Portuguese energy group Galp has reached an agreement with SER Energia and Casa dos Ventos to acquire upon maturity up to 4.8 GW of solar and wind projects spread through nine Brazilian states.

The Swiss investment company Smartenergy and the Spanish multinational Grupo Prodiel have closed an agreement to set up Greenfield PV, a joint venture focused on developing more than 4 GW of solar PV projects in Spain.

A retreat from wind power could have devastating consequences, as it is set to play a pivotal role in global efforts to transition to green energy.
