NextPower UK ESG has confirmed two solar assets on the British utility scale with a combined generation capacity of 130 MW. The investment fund for renewable energy, which manages NextEnergy Capital, has successfully brought the 70 MW inkersall project and the 60mw Crifton Development online, bringing the operational capacity of the 318 MW portfolio. Both projects are in Nottinghamshire and both successfully secure contracts for difference (CFDs) in Allocation Round 4 (AR4), which took place in July 2022. NextPower UK ESG currently owns 16 assets…
Guyana’s Solar Photovoltaic Home Energy Systems Project has added 4.8 MW installed capacity in ten administrative regions since its foundation in July 2023. July 14, 2025 Patrick Jowett The amount of solar energy used by Guyana’S Solar Photovoltaic Home Energy Systems Project has reached 4.8 MW, according to statistics released by the country’s government. The off-grid solar project, launched in July 2023, is intended to expand the access of renewable energy in the hinterland and river communities that are not connected to the electricity grid. It works on supplying and supplying 30,000 solar -PV Home Energy units in total, where…
Iberdrola started approval processes for a 1.32 GW pumped hydro storage project in Portugal. The Proyecto de Aprovechamiento Hidroeléctrico de Minhéu will be the largest facility of the country in its kind, once completed. July 14, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina Alto tâmega pumping station Image: iberdrola By PV Magazine Spain Iberdrola has started the process of environmental effects (EIA) for the Minhéu Hydroelectric Power Project, a pumped storage facility with 1,320 MW installed capacity. If built, this would be the largest Pomphydro station in Portugal. The Minhéu project was designed as a supplement to Iberdrolas Alto Tâmega Hydroelectric complex by…
Wattlab has installed a PV system that is able to deliver up to 35 kW to the high-voltage driver of a cargo ship, so that it can temporarily replace one of the four diesel generators under optimum conditions. July 14, 2025 Scarlet Schmitz By PV Magazine Germany A PV system has been put into use on a new cargo ship developed by HGK Shipping and Salzgitter AG, so that electricity is delivered directly to the drive system of the ship. A total of 192 solar modules offer electricity for both the built -in low -voltage system and the high -voltage…
By Brad Kramer July 14, 2025 This edition of Projects weekly Emphasizes the new solar system on the roof and the canopy in one of the busiest ports in the United States. Plus, SolarBank’s 7.2 MW Hoadley Hill project has completed a mandated interconnection study to move forward, Recurrent Energy has energized a 1,200 MWh storage facility in Arizona in time to meet peak summer demand, DSD Renewables has partnered with General Energy to complete a 675 kW solar project for the Elmhurst Park District in Illinois, and a New Community Solar Project Has Powered Up in the Baltimore-Washington Region.…
Scientists in India have created a wind solution system in a tree form that combines wind turbines and a PV system with trackers with two axis. The team constructed a hardware-in-the-loop prototype that can generate up to 444.5 WH per day. July 14, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from the India’s Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering has developed a tree type of PV-Wind Power System for off-grid applications. “A hybrid tree is a synthetic construction that looks a lot like a real tree, with solar panels or wind turbines that are installed on its branches. It…
The ‘Lucky Star’ Bess is near a 49.9 MW Utility-Scale PV energy plant on solar energy. Image: Root Power. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer Root-Power has received a building permit for a 50 MW/100MWH ‘Lucky Star’ project in Kent. The Lucky Star 2-hour expensive Bess is located near Herne Bay, on the north coast of Kent, north of Canterbury. It is strategically located 100 meters from the Herne Bay substance, making the battery storage location possible. In doing so, this lowers the development costs of infrastructure in connection with connecting a berry of a utility scale with the national…
Nanyang Technological University researchers have glass solar panel waste for use in cathodes used in lithium metal batteries of a fixed state. When used as a functional filler in material with fixed polymer electrolyte (SPE), the resulting battery performance during 80 load cycles was maintained with an improvement of 8.3 % compared to the reference device. July 14, 2025 Valerie Thompson A team of researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has developed a process to use glass panel waste as a raw material for cathodes in lithium metal batteries for fixed condition. By milling broken solar glass waste in…
Experts advise people with a serious interest in solar sun to act quickly and carefully consider their choices to prevent headache. July 11, 2025 Ben Surentara By PV Magazine USA In many American states, solar installations on the roof can offer financial benefits. The solar energy goes to reducing the energy consumption of the house, and all generated excess electricity can be sent back to the utility for at least some credit. In this way, a solar installation that is owned by the homeowner acts as a cover at rising utility costs. These financial benefits have been made partly possible…
