Project involves placing PV modules in coal mine goafs, converting a brownfield site into a renewable energy facility Trina Solar’s 210mm Vertex ultra-high power modules, including the Vertex N 700W and the Vertex 670W, are being employed in a 2GW photovoltaic project on the site of a former coal mine in Ningxia, China. Once the station is connected to the grid, it is forecast to save about 960,000 tons of standard coal and cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 2.62 million tons a year. This massive solar power plant is built on coal mine goafs (disussed areas of mines where…
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has approved framework financing of up to €1.7 billion for Solaria to support the construction of some 120 photovoltaic power plants. Mostly located in Spain, as well as Italy and Portugal, they will have a total capacity of approximately 5.6 GW and will produce an estimated 9.29 TWh a year. The power plants are expected to come into operation by the end of 2028. This is Solaria’s most ambition financing operation to date. The project is backed by the InvestEU programme, which aims to trigger more than €372 billion in additional investment over the period 2021-27. This operation…
Internationally renowned European solar manufacturer Recom Technologies has launched its range of solar PV in the United Kingdom as Recom Technologies UK. According to MCS (the Microgeneration Certification Scheme), solar panel installations increased by 114% in Q1 2023, from the same period in 2022. With demand set to continue to a predicted 17% in Q2 2023 according to the certification body. Currently, the majority of solar PV installed in the UK comes from Chinese manufacturers, with around 80% of all solar panels and materials produced in China, despite solar tariffs imposed in 2018 and 2022. Launching its Black Tiger range…
New jobs and investment are set to come to Scotland as the UK Government today unveils ambitious plans to scale up affordable, clean, homegrown power and build thriving green industries in Britain. After decades of reliance on importing expensive, foreign fossil fuels, the UK Government is delivering a radical shift in our energy system towards cleaner, more affordable energy sources to power more of Britain from Britain. New green technologies, set to be developed and deployed here in Scotland, including carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen, will spearhead the government’s new Energy Security Plan. Today, the UK Government…
A new report from Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) on the UK’s wind market states the UK government’s plan to streamline permitting for offshore wind projects could accelerate demand for Vestas and Siemens Energy, yet multiyear project lead times suggest the change won’t yield much before 2025-26. With about 18 gigawatts of capacity additions likely in 2023-27, the UK is set to remain one of the world’s leading markets for off shore wind – an outcome that bodes well for margin growth at Siemens Energy and Vestas, the dominant turbine suppliers in the UK market. Forthcoming reforms of offshore permitting could help…
