ACEN has increased funding for the 133.5-MWp Cagayan North Solar Power project in the Philippines, part of a larger scheme planned to be operational in 2024. The new loan agreement will help build up the country's solar energy capacity and provide clean and renewable energy for the Philippines.

The 2 × 20 MW energy storage facility is adjacent to ACEN's 120 MW Alaminos solar farm. The facility holds 24 battery containers with SAFT 2.5 MWh lithium-ion batteries, likely sufficient to power regarding 20,000 homes and avoid 35.87 MTCO2e exhausts annually.

The European Commission (EC) on Wednesday gave the green light to certain subsidiaries of German solar designer ib vogt GmbH and Philippine corporation the Ayala Group for the creation of 3 joint ventures with the purpose of realising solar projects in the Asia-Pacific region.

ACEN Australia will launch full commercial operations by late November at its 400-MW Stubbo Solar project in New South Wales and has arranged end-of-life recycling for nearly one million panels. The unit of Philippine-listed ACEN Corporation says the initiative embeds circularity and is the first large-scale project to meet independent circular-management standards.Stubbo Solar received an “exceeds” rating from the Circular PV Alliance for its whole-of-lifecycle approach, which CPVA says helps build recovery demand signals and supply chains. Located about 10 km north of Gulgong, the plant will power roughly 185,000 homes and operates under a 20-year LTSA secured in NSW’s 2021 renewables auction. What makes Stubbo Solar’s circular management exceed CPVA standards, and how is recycling executed? Circular design and procurement- Specifies modules, inverters, cabling, and mounting with high-recyclate content and easy-to-disassemble bill of materials- Prioritizes adhesives, encapsulants, and backsheet chemistries that enable delamination and material purity above typical CPVA benchmarksVerified extended producer responsibility- Contracted take-back obligations with OEMs and independent recyclers for the full fleet, with performance bonds and insurance to guarantee capacity at end of life- Funds ring‑fenced for decommissioning and recycling, audited annually, exceeding minimum CPVA financial assurance criteriaTraceability and data- Serial-level tracking from installation to end of life; each panel and major component barcoded to link yield, warranty, and recycling pathway- Open reporting of recovery rates, leakage, and downstream destinations to CPVA-aligned registries, not just self-declared summariesHigher recovery targets and reuse hierarchy- Commits to reuse and refurbishment first, with screening protocols to redeploy viable panels to community/industrial users- Sets material recovery targets above CPVA baselines for glass, aluminum, copper, and silicon, including silver-bearing paste capture where feasibleLocal circular supply-chain development- Contracts prioritize NSW/ANZ processing to shorten transport, reduce emissions, and stimulate secondary markets for cullet, billet, and polymers- Creates demand agreements with manufacturers using recovered materials, closing the loop rather than exporting mixed scrapEnvironmental and social safeguards- Zero-landfill covenant for PV components and hazardous fractions, with independent verification- Worker safety, chemical controls, and transport standards aligned to ISO 14001/45001 and state waste regulationsHow recycling is executed- On-site triage and logistics- Panels are inspected, electrically tested, and sorted into reuse, repair, or recycle streams; serials scanned to update custody records- Palletized transport to certified facilities with GPS-tracked chain of custodyMechanical and thermal separation- Aluminum frames and junction boxes removed for direct recycling- Glass and cells delaminated by controlled heat or mechanical processes to preserve glass cullet quality and free silicon wafersMaterials recovery- Glass refined for reuse in glass products or insulation- Aluminum frames remelted into billet for racking or construction- Copper wiring and busbars granulated and refined; junction box plastics separated for polymer recycling- Silicon and silver-bearing fractions recovered through chemical or pyro-metallurgical steps where available; EVA/backsheet handled to minimize contaminantsHazardous and residual management- Encapsulant residues, fluorinated backsheets, and trace metals treated via approved hazardous-waste pathways; no co-disposal with general wasteDocumentation and verification- Each batch receives a recycling certificate detailing input serials, process route, recovery percentages, and destinations, audited against CPVA-aligned criteriaFeedback to design and procurement- Recovery data informs future component choices, favoring designs and suppliers that improve disassembly speed, material purity, and resale potential

Energy Vault to deploy cutting-edge battery storage systems at Australian solar complex, boosting renewable energy infrastructure with Siemens technology.

ACEN Australia’s 400-megawatt Stubbo solar farm in New South Wales has entered full commercial operation, marking one of the state’s larger utility-scale solar projects. The development represents an investment of about AUD 760 million (USD 495 million; EUR 429.3 million), according to the company.The project adds sizable new solar capacity to the NSW grid as Australia accelerates its energy transition. Stubbo’s completion underscores ACEN’s growing footprint in the market and follows a wave of large-scale renewable builds aimed at replacing aging coal-fired generation. Financial terms beyond the stated capital outlay were not disclosed, and ACEN did not detail offtake arrangements in the announcement. Who are Stubbo’s offtakers, and what are the PPA terms and tenor? Offtakers: Not publicly disclosed by ACEN; no named counterparties announced to date. PPA structure: Undisclosed; ACEN has not confirmed any executed long-term offtake for Stubbo. Tenor: Not disclosed; no public details on contract length or start dates. Current revenue stance: Likely operating with a merchant exposure and/or short-term hedging and LGC sales until any future offtake is announced.
