Edify Energy has received approval to build and operate a 1 GW green hydrogen production plant and a solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage project within the Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct in Townsville, Queensland (Australia).

Ukraine's installed wind capacity has increased from around 500 MW in 2015 to 1.4 GW in 2020 and wind covered 1.4% of the power mix in 2020.

Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov has said that Azerbaijan, which is an exporter of traditional energy resources, aims to bring the share of renewable energy in the total installed capacity of electricity to 30 percent by 2030.

Poland would be able to diversify its natural gas supplies in 2022 with the opening of the Baltic pipeline which would bring gas from Norway.

India has set an ambitious target of achieving 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2022, which includes 100GW of solar.

France targets 2.4 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2023 and between 5.2 GW and 6.2 GW by 2028.

The US$700m project, which is expected to generate 2 TWh/year, will include 140 turbines with a maximum power of 7 MW.

The global offshore wind industry installed 6.1GW of capacity in 2020, down slightly from a record 6.24GW in 2019, although GWEC expects a new record year in 2021, as China’s offshore wind sector rushes to install 7.5GW ahead of the expiry of current feed in tariffs (FITs).

According to the National Steering Committee for Electricity Development, Vietnam’s wind capacity will reach 6 GW in 2025 and 10 GW in 2030 and solar capacity will grow to 14.4 GW in 2025 and 20 GW in 2030.

What fuels increased electricity production year-on-year? Coal – up 34.7% (112.5 million MWh) Wind – up 10% (17.4) Solar – up 29% (12.6)
