Railway operators can now feasibly connect solar plants to traction substations, claims a consortium that is now working on a similar demonstration project in the U.K. Almost all of the 30 kW installation’s output will be used to move trains, but in the future storage could come into the picture for larger “railway-connected” solar power projects, says 10:10, the U.K.-based climate change charity that developed the pilot.

Turkey’s GridFlex will invest EUR 17 million in a 125-MWh standalone battery near Leskovac, Serbia, adding fast, flexible capacity to a strengthening grid.

The federal government of Burkina Faso through the national power utility Sonabel, officially Societe Nationale d'electricite du Burkina Faso, has actually released a Notice of Invitation to Tender (AOO) requiring bids for the engineering, purchase, and also building and construction of four photovoltaic or pv solar power plants with a total capacity of 9 MWp in three different areas in the West African country.

The projects will provide electricity to the Doba Oil Project and also the towns of Moundou as well as Doba in Southern Chad, and also the capital city, N'Djamena. Savannah Energy claimed it looks to fund the renewable projects from a combination of its own inside created cash flows as well as project particular debt.

The Dept. of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has begun the general public evaluation process on the draft environmental analysis (EA) for the recommended Arica and Victory Pass solar projects in Riverside County, California. The two projects would certainly entail as much as 465 MW of solar and 400 MW of energy storage space.

Vesper Energy breaks ground on the 201 MW Nazareth Solar project in Swisher County, Texas—boosting clean power in the Panhandle with utility-scale PV built for tens of thousands of homes.

French researchers at PROMES-CNRS have developed a solar-powered pyro-metallurgical process to recycle valuable elements from lithium-ion batteries, revolutionizing the recycling landscape with concentrated solar thermal energy.

Clearvise AG secures first corporate PPA with Tokai COBEX Savoie, supplying green power from Chassiecq solar park in France for 11 years. A milestone in sustainable energy partnerships.

Utility-scale power storage space project developer/ proprietor esVolta will certainly perform a 15MW/ 60MWh battery project to offer California cities that have actually developed their very own 'area selection' power distributor.

EDF Renewables finished and began commercial procedure of the Maverick 1 (173.4 MWdc) and also Maverick 4 (135.9 MWdc) Solar Projects. Maverick 1 offers 125 MWac of electrical power to Southern California Edison under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), while Maverick 4 supplies 100 MWac power and eco-friendly credit to Shell Energy North America under a 15-year PPA.

The Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa's factory in Silverton, Pretoria, South Africa is obtaining a huge 13. 5 megawatt (MW) solar system. This will certainly make it among the largest solar PV systems mounted at a manufacturing facility worldwide. The system will certainly have solar carports enough to cover 4,200 car parking bays. The PV plant will certainly cost R135 million (US$ 8.7 million). This indicates the grid-tied project will certainly be available in at concerning $0.64/ W, which is pretty impressive for a carport system.
