Nucor, one of the US's largest steel product manufacturers, has just signed a 250 MW solar PPA with NextEra Energy Resources. The Sebree Solar project will bring USD 20 million in tax revenue to Kentucky and Nucor will also provide steel for a second solar site in Meade and Breckinridge counties. Construction begins this autumn with commissioning due in 2025.

Windel Energy is running a consultation for Fosse Green Energy: a 350MWdc solar and energy storage park in Lincolnshire, England, capable of powering 110,000 homes. Local community feedback is invited from 11 September to 20 October 2023. Suggestions are also sought for community schemes, biodiversity net gain and future developments.

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team is pre-testing in Australia in preparation for the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge. Join the team on their 3000km race from Darwin to Adelaide, as they take Ford pickups up north to Glendambo and practice 11 days of camp set-up and repairs.

Mey Energy recently completed a 55 MW photovoltaic facility in Novaci, North Macedonia - the biggest solar power plant in the Western Balkans. Spanning 57 hectares and using 101,000 panels, it will produce 85 GWh of electricity annually, serving up to 30,000 households and enabling a transition away from coal. Larger solar power plants are in progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, and Albania.
