Masdar, in partnership with the Jordanian government, has formally inaugurated the 200-megawatt Baynouna Solar Park – the largest clean energy project in Jordan. The project will provide access to clean energy, create jobs and ensure economic growth.

Power utility Elektroprivreda HZHB intends to develop a 150 MW solar energy plant on the region of Stolac municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In case there are no hold-ups, the building and construction of the Chirpan solar energy plant in Bulgaria can start this year. The 160 MW project is owned by Enery from Austria. It would currently be the biggest in the nation.

A state-of-the-art solar energy laboratory has actually been released today at the University of Mauritius. The laboratory has been established with participation from Huawei Mauritius. The campaign belongs to a project described as the Park of Excellence in Solar Photovoltaic (PESP) at the University of Mauritius.

Boom Power's project will certainly also consist of battery capacity

Global PV and smart energy provider Trina Solar has launched a new generation of rooftop modules: the Vertex S+ n type dual-glass product line, with output power reaching 445W, the highest in an area of less than 2 square meters.

Our Next Energy (ONE) has launched Aries Grid, a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) utility-scale battery system that can provide long-duration energy storage. This renewable energy storage solution is manufactured in the US and aims to decarbonize mobility and the grid.

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) have found a way to stabilize perovskite solar cells using non-toxic metal-based capping materials. This paves the way for commercial use of perovskite cells, which, despite superior efficiency and lower production costs, contain lead, posing an environmental threat when decomposed. The researchers used the full precursor (FP) solution method, which allowed them to synthesize the capping layer of solar cells without lead. The zinc-based compound, PEA2ZnX4, was the most effective among the materials tested, and the process was more efficient than the half precursor (HP) method.

Lightsource bp and AEP Energy Partners have signed a PPA for a 188-MWDC solar project located in New Carlisle, Indiana. This project will bring economic and environmental benefits to the region while fostering community partnerships.

YPF Luz and Pampetrol have signed an agreement to jointly work on the development of two solar projects which could generate up to 80 megawatts of solar energy in Argentina's La Pampa province.

The energy storage items supplied by CSI Energy Storage will certainly be made use of to support Aypa Power's 487 MWh standalone energy storage project in Southern California. The standalone energy storage project is anticipated to be functional by the initial half of 2024.

UEF will offer grants to RE companies in Nigeria whose projects are developed to connect companies to a clean, budget-friendly as well as trusted electrical power source. The solar energy projects will span most states in Nigeria and be finished within the next one year.

Texas-based OCI Solar Power, part of South Korean power and also chemicals company OCI Co Ltd (KRX:010060), has signed an agreement with Japan's Mitsui & Co (TYO:8031) to partner in the growth of solar projects.

Argentine power firm Genneia has signed a loan agreement to obtain up to USD 85 million (EUR 80.3 m) to finance the building of wind as well as solar projects in the nation.

Jordan-headquartered solar manufacturer Philadelphia Solar on Tuesday stated it is marketing solar modules with an overall direct existing (DC) capacity of 380 MW to Clean Energy Holdings (CEH) for a green hydrogen project in Texas.
