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.

Japan is one of the UAE's largest investment partners in both outbound and inbound investments, as Japanese investments in the country currently exceed AED 15 billion, accounting for 3percent of total FDI inflows and more than 8.2 percent of investments from Asian countries.

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.

The renewable capacity (excluding large hydro) in India reached 100 GW in August 2021, i.e. just over half of the 2022 target (175 GW).

In October 2021, Sunseap signed an MoU to explore and develop solar power systems with a combined capacity of 7 GW around the Riau islands, including a previously announced 2.2 GW floating solar PV in Duriangkang, Batam.

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.

A requirement to function through a 10-day period of low/no wind and solar and to recharge storage over the succeeding 10-day period, with a 20% capacity reserve margin, would require renewable generating capacity approximately 2.4 times peak demand on the grid.

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.

The Brent price will average $108/b in 2Q22 and $102/b in the second half of 2022 (2H22).

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.

Nuclear's share of energy in the UK is currently about 16%, however almost half of the country's current capacity is due to be retired by 2025 and all but one of its reactors will retire by 2030.
