Masdar and Hassan Allam Utilities have signed preliminary agreements with several parastatals in Egypt to set up a strategic platform that targets an electrolyser capacity of 4 GW in Egypt by 2030

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.

The increase in U.S. electric power sector renewable generation during 2021 came mainly from more wind and solar generation as a result of more wind turbines and utility-scale solar power plants coming online.

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.

By the end of 2021, global renewable generation capacity amounted to 3 064 Gigawatt (GW), increasing the stock of renewable power by 9.1 per cent.

By 2050, we’re expected to reach about 88 million tons of solar panel waste.

Agri-PV (or agrivoltaics) has emerged as a major trend in the solar industry and is poised to redefine the way solar PV projects are procured, designed, and built in many countries around the world.

Agreements were announced during the visit of Dr. Robert Habeck, German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, to the UAE. They build upon the longstanding Emirati-German Energy Partnership as well as the Ministerial Emirati-German Hydrogen Task Force that was inaugurated in November 2021.

Kyrgyzstan has 4.4 GW of installed capacity, with 3.7 GW of hydro (end-2020).

Based on data from the third quarter, analysts expect to see a record 19 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and about 4 gigawatts of distributed solar installed in the United States this year.
