The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) awarded 1,350 MW as part of the Tranche IV auction for 1,200 MW interstate transmissions system (ISTS)-connected wind-solar hybrid power projects on a build, own and operated basis (India).

Serbia’s installed capacity stood at 8 GW at the end of 2020, with 52% of coal and 39% of hydro.

The industry’s current circular capacity is woefully unprepared for the deluge of waste that is likely to come.

The UK currently has around 14GW of installed solar capacity, and is on track to double that total by 2030 under existing market conditions.

According to a review by the SUN DAY Campaign of data recently released by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), wind and solar resources provided nearly all (93.84%) of the new electrical generating capacity added in the U.S. during the first four months of 2021 .

Renewable energy accounted for nearly 100% of all new electric capacity in Q1 with solar doubling in the last 3.5 years

Located in the Northern Cape province, the projects, which would require a US$1bn investment, include a 225 MW/1,140 MWh battery storage.

Overall, nuclear energy is riskier and has a worse environmental impact than wind energy, while wind is enormously less costly.

China's installed wind and solar capacity has surged in recent years from 174 GW in 2015 (131 GW of wind and 43 GW of solar) to 535 GW in 2020 (281 GW of wind and 253 GW of solar),

The decline extends a volatile period for solar sector jobs, which have yet to return to a peak reached in 2016 before the U.S. imposed tariffs on foreign-made panels that increased prices.
