The Tunisian government is working on a national strategy for solar power generation and aims to reach 3,815 MW of installed solar capacity by 2030,

Kuwait also plans to develop a 2 GW wind and solar project, which will be tendered by the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects. Meanwhile, Iraq is also considering the strategic adoption of renewable energy as a way to wean itself off of Iranian imports of gas and power, its oil minister Ihsan Ismail told IPTC.

Swedish Modular Reactors has been granted just over SEK99 million ($10.6m) in support of demonstrating a smaller lead-cooled reactor. Solkompaniet Sverige has been granted SEK14.4 million to support demonstrating a smart solar park.

The lodged offers represent over AUD 100 billion (USD 71.7bn/EUR 63bn) of potential investment in 24 solar parks, 13 onshore and seven offshore wind farms, 35 large-scale batteries and eight pumped hydro plants. It is estimated that these projects have the potential to deliver more than 100,000 GWh of total electricity per year.

Romanian energy trader and developer Enero Furnizare plans to develop solar projects with a total capacity of 1GWp in Romania this year

RES has acquired Blueshore, an asset management business with 1.6 GW of renewable projects under management in Australia.

China, the world's biggest greenhouse gases emitter and coal consumer, is expected to add 180 gigawatts (GW) of new power generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources during 2022, driving total non-fossil fuel capacity to 1,300 GW, according to a report issued by the China Electricity Council (CEC) late on Thursday.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said that when taking all solar and wind generation in account, the country added a whopping 101 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity in 2021.

The project, by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, is located on 10 square kilometers of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. It has an accumulated capacity of 900 megawatts, the National News reported.

The country's total solar capacity reached 306 GW at the end of the year, with 107.5 GW of distributed solar (+29 GW in 2021, i.e., around 55% of all new solar PV capacity added in 2021).
