Badger Hollow solar park is now fully operational, supplying enough electricity for 90,000 homes each year. 500,000 solar panels make up the 300MW power plant, owned by MG&E, We Energies and Wisconsin Public Service. An exceptional feat in renewable energy, this park is a major milestone for lowering carbon emissions.

Spain made history in 2023: 50.4% of its electricity came from renewables, led by wind & solar. With ambitious goals, the government is pledging a 74% renewables mix by 2030.

Statkraft has enabled Gresham House & Workspace Group to secure power for 10 years from the 20MW Beavor Grange Solar Farm in Devon, providing budget certainty and helping to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030.

Greece starts 2021 with 240 MW of green energy initiatives - two solar parks and three wind projects, including a 96-MW PV complex in Thessaly, approved to bring clean energy to the country.

Repsol is powering Andalusia with the 204-MW Sigma solar photovoltaic complex, providing enough electricity to power 43,000 homes. Aiming for 6,000 GW of installed renewables capacity globally by 2025.

Shanghai Electric has completed two renewable energy projects in the UK: REP1&2 BESS and Fiskerton II-A solar site. Generating 128,117 MWh of green energy annually, these projects will provide a significant contribution toward a sustainable future.

Solar Philippines is constructing an unprecedented 3.5-GW Terra Solar complex, featuring a 4 GWh battery storage system and generating 7,000 jobs in the process. Once operational, this ambitious project will be the largest solar complex in Southeast Asia.

GP Joule's new Blackhall Solar Farm could revolutionize clean energy - help the nation reach its renewable energy target and make a lasting impact.

China could power up to 863GW of green energy with floating solar, allowing it to bring solar power to regions where land is limited. With the potential to occupy 7,117 square kilometres less land than traditional PV, floating solar offers higher power outputs and a more economic solution.

Soltec and CIP have joined forces to drive the green transition in Denmark, selling 850 MW of early-stage solar projects to CIP's Energy Transition Fund I. The projects span Denmark, with most located in the Jutland region, allowing both parties to participate in the booming Power-to-X industry.

The DeGrussa solar and battery project, funded by ARENA, has been set for dismantling 7 years prior to its expected 25 year lifespan. Despite its premature end, Neoen is optimistic that its components can be repurposed, but questions remain about the financial return on the investment.

Dr Dan Lamb, from Swansea University, is researching the viability of low-cost, lightweight solar panels in space, to continuously generate energy and transfer it to Earth. Fueling green propulsion solutions, lunar bases, and space-based solar power, Lamb's work could revolutionize our energy sources.
