There is no shortage of people who are interested in working in the type of field that will be crucial to deliver the energy transition of the VK, but the industry has to do more to bring young people to the sector to ensure that the country can fill its green skills gap.This was a conclusion by speakers on a panel on the second day of Solar Media’s Clean Power 2030 peaks, aimed at hiring and employment in the British sector renewable energy. According to Chris Claydon, CEO at JTL, however, even misses the point in skills and jobs in…

Developer of Schone Energy British Solar Renewables (BSR) has protected a debt facility of £ 345 million for 609 MW of 12 solar and co-location projects for solar and battery energy storage system (Bessomer). Once operational, the 12 projects were set up to generate 600 GWH of clean electricity each year. This will support the push from the UK to its 2050 Net Zero -Zeurwit and tackle the constant concern about energy security. Michael Ozersky, Chief Investment Officer of BSR, noticed this as a ‘historical transaction’, said that this financing emphasizes the ‘Power of BSR’s co-location strategy’. In its second…

This week, women in solar energy+ Europe give a voice to Jessica Klein, head of the regulatory EU and Germany on RWE renewable energy sources. She says that working in Solar not only becomes a member of an industry, but is also part of a global shift to a cleaner, smarter, more inclusive energy seeking. “Claim your space in that movement. And help point the way,” she says. July 25, 2025 Women in solar energy+ Europe The infrastructure industries of solar, storage and schedule are central to a global transformation, one that is not only technically but deeply human. These…

Bio -inspired design approach is intended to improve the sustainability and scalability of perovskiet solar cells A research team from the School of Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a groundbreaking multi-stimulus bio-inspired strategy to improve the long-term stability and the resilience of the environment of perovskite solar cells. The team cooperates with leading institutions in the US and Switzerland and has hired nature -based design principles to overcome important barriers to commercialization. Perovskite solar cells are appreciated for their cheap, solution-based production, but their widespread deployment is hindered by poor interface hesion,…

Green Switch Capital, part of the Qair Group, has announced that it has protected a building permit for the first independent Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project.The Middleton Farm Energy Storage Facility has a capacity of 49.9 MW and will be on about 1.3 hectares of land on Middleton Farm, near Potterdown, Aberdenshire. After an extensive planning process in which Green Switch Capital was supported by Locoge, AberDeenshire Council on 1 July approval for the project.To reduce the visual impact of the development, the Bess units are painted green so that they can merge into the surrounding landscape. In addition,…

UK headquarters Developer Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has successfully obtained the building permit for a 29.9 MW solar PV energy plant in Northern Ireland.Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council have awarded a full planning permission for the Magheralin Solar Farm, which will be located in the province, North Ireland, around a kilometer south of the village of Magheralin.Although the developer has not yet stated when he expects the construction to start, Res has said that the construction phase of the project is expected to take around 40 weeks. The developer also expressed his enthusiasm to offer the local economy…

The Gresham House Energy Storage Fund (Grid) has concluded long -term floor price agreements with counterparties Statkraft and Markel Bermuda, a total of 789 MW.The deals cover 412 MW of Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) -capacity with Statkraft -Markten GmbH from 2025 and 2027, and 377 MW capacity with Markel Bermuda, part of the insurance company Markel Group, once in a debt painting, said guest.That is 789 MW, about 74% of the 1072MW BES portfolio of the grid, some of which still have to introduce commercial operation during the period. The company is one of the largest owners of Bess…

The National Energy System Operator (NESO) has opened the window for evidence for reforming the grid connections.The evidence that is open today (July 8) and remains open until just before midnight on July 29. Energy generation and demand projects with existing connection agreements are invited to participate.The much -discussed process has two goals. One is to cut projects in the queue with a less than serious prospect to continue that contributed to bottlenecks (so -called ‘Zombie projects’).The other gives priority to PV and Wind Renewable Energy projects that match the goals of the National Clean Power 2030 (CP2030) Action Plan.In…

E.on UK has opened a consultation on revised plans for a proposal of 25 MW PV PV energy plant.The Lentons Lane Solar Farm will be next to the M6 Fastweg in the Coventry area. A consultation about first plans for development was launched in 2023; After a considerable part of the feedback from the community, plans for the site have been re -developed and are now being brought to the community for opinions between 3 July and 8 September 2025.The proposal of the redesigned Lane Solar PVer Plant has a approximately 15% smaller footprint than the original design, but still…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineSolcast, a DNV company, reports that significant parts of Europe saw much more solar radiation than normal last month. July 25, 2025 Dissolved Sunny Summer Conditions supplied record photovoltaic (PV) production in a large part of Western Europe in June 2025, because high-pressure systems brought persistent sky and above average irradiation. For the first time, Solar became the leading energy source for Europe for the month, despite a few regions in the north and east, including Scandinavia and the Baltic states, who experience oppressed solar performance due to persistent frontal systems. Analysis using…
