The South African federal government has actually released its most current renewables procurement round under its Renewable Energy IPP Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), which is to obtain 1GW of solar PV.

Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund to establish 30MW solar project

Abu Dhabi-based renewables company Masdar is proceeding its global development with brand-new plans to develop 500MW of solar in Ethiopia through a partnership with the country's federal government.

The African Development Bank's Board of Directors today authorized $27.2 million in lending financing for the layout, building and construction and also operation of a 200 MW photovoltaic solar power plant at Kom Ombo, in Upper Egypt on the river Nile.

The African Growth Financial Institution (AfDB) stated that it has accepted a funding to sustain ACWA Power's 200-MW Kom Ombo solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Egypt.

International energy gigantic EDF has actually purchased a 23% stake in off-grid solar company Bboxx's Kenyan business.

Ecoppia, a leader in robot remedies for PV solar, has actually won a new project in one of the globes' biggest solar parks in BenBan, Egypt

The new era of renewable energy starts in 2020. Its development is expected in 2021 and next years. One of the hot-topic systems is micro and mini-grids powered by RE resources. Solar energy is used as the main electricity source, so this type of generator started to be implemented more often throughout the world

B&S Power as well as Sunnyfred Global to create, develop, finance as well as create West Africa's biggest solar PV project in Nigeria.

Hydropower plants across Africa might double their capability if just 1% of their storage tanks are utilized to set up floating solar projects, new study recommends.

Solar energy plants scratched up another record year according to initial numbers released today by utility-scale specialists Wiki-Solar. New setups in 2020 comfortably topped 50 GWAC, well ahead of the 43 GW record attained the previous year. Global advancing set up capacity is now close to 280 GWAC.

Africa, which has for a long time now brought the tag of 'appealing' for non hydro renewable energy, might yet be the continent with the most affordable share of non hydro renewable energy by 2030. Even as some nations within the continent will certainly escape from the remainder to have a much more robust payment from solar right into their energy mix.
