Solar analyst Josh Cornes, from Solar Media Market Research, describes the increase in the British Solar M&A market and some developers drives to sell projects in the run -up to Gate 2 offers.With the deadline for gate 2 applications under the reformed grid connections process that is rapidly approaching, developers hurry to submit their projects. Applications have risen over the past 10 months, with more than 175 projects (15GWP) that are submitted to their relevant local authorities or to the government.This enormous activity has created opportunities for different business models, with the mergers and acquisitions (mergers and acquisitions) bloom, with…

Independent Power Producer (IPP) Enviromena, based in the UK, has acquired a fully committed, 40 MW of the solar energy plant in Shropshire.The project, taken from Anglo Renewables, is ready to build the stage and has protected a contract for Difference (CFD) of allocation Round 6 (AR6). The PV factory is planned to connect to the grid in 2026, while the planning population contains the option to add energy storage on the site.The news comes close to Enviromena acquired another Shropshire Solar PV factoryThe 30mw Steeraway Solar Farm. The Steeraway PV factory also received an AR6 CFD and will connect…

Front cubes to work until 2026 while the mission is spreading worldwide NASA has extended the prefire mission until September 2026 and extended its scope from the Poles to the entire planet. The double shoe box cubes measure the water vapor, clouds and other components of earth system heat, improve predictions of storm frequency and intensity. In the spring of 2024, prefire was quantified how much heat escaped to the space of the Arctic area and Antarctica. The earth absorbs the most solar energy in the tropics, which move winds, weather and ocean flows poleward. Polar ice cream, snow and…

Luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) today (August 20) has opened a new PV energy plant on solar energy at the British head office.The new Solar PV energy plant, located at JLR’s Head Offices in Gaydon, has a generation capacity of 18 MW and will be able to deliver around 31% of the site’s energy demand. The installation mounted on the ground is spread over 26 hectares of land; JLR states that it has worked to stimulate biodiversity in the area by planting native wild flowers underneath and to recover between the panels and hedges and thus yielded a…

Where Energies has launched flexible solar modules up to 70% lighter and less than 3.5 mm thick. The panels can be connected directly to surfaces without penetrations, suitable for locations where drilling or heavy support structures are impractical. August 22, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Where Energies has launched its next generation of flexible lightweight (FLW) solar modules. The panels, designed for surfaces where traditional glass panels cannot be installed, make it possible to make the adoption of solar energy over curved metrogevels, gasoline peas, barriers along the road, street furniture, rail infrastructure, walls and urban roofs with…

Diamonds and gold bars are never just stores of value, they always carry a story. Some stories shine with prosperity and sustainability; others are tarnished by exploitation and conflict. This is the reality when comparing Botswana’s sustainable diamonds to so-called “blood diamonds.” Over the past three years, Botswana has re-emerged as a global benchmark for ethical resource governance, proving that diamonds and precious metals can fuel development rather than destruction. This article contrasts Botswana’s sustainable diamonds with the scourge of blood diamonds, explains how lab-grown diamonds are reshaping the space, and expands the lens to gold and platinum-group metals (PGMs).…

The Irish Minister of Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O’Brien has marked the official launch of the first solar PV factory that was developed as a joint venture by Irish semi-State companies ESB and Bord after Mona (BNM).The 108 MW Timahoe North Solar Farm in County Koldare, Ireland, started commercial operation in April of this year. It received a contract Ireland’s Renewable Energy Support Scheme (Ress 2) Auction in 2022.Timahoe North is the first of four solar energy plants planned under a co-development agreement between ESB and BNM, which offers up to 500 MW of solar capacity. As part…

National Grid Ventures (NGV) test the world’s first 100% hydrogen-driven linear generator in the Northport factory for 12 months, supported by $ 11 million in the financing of the state of New York. August 22, 2025 Sergio Matalucci National grid companies will install the “first commercially used, 100% hydrogen-driven linear generator in the world” in the Northport energy power plant, supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (Nyserda) and the Long Island Power Authority (Lipa). “The linear generator produces power due to a low temperature, flameless chemical reaction and can be used during periods of peak…
