Sunny Greece is struggling with solar energy overload In a field in Central Greece that once grew Klaver and Maïs, maintenance employee Nikos Zigomitros skilfully drives a tractor between rows of solar panels, which cuts weeds under a burning sun. “Letting them grow too high, hinders the panel performance,” explains the 52-year-old, wipes sweat from his forehead. Once a center of agricultural production, the area around Kastron Viotias, about 110 kilometers (70 miles) northwest of Athens, has seen solar park path stream in the last 15 years, part of a large, busy energy tension in the country. Greece has currently…
The announcement of the financial package coincides with a groundbreaking ceremony for project Budai in Chiayi County, Taiwan. According to Lightsource BP, the 115 MWP project will be completed in 2026 in 2026. June 10, 2025 Matthew Lynas Lightsource BP has secured TWD 6 billion ($ 200 million) financing for a 115 MWP Fishery Solar project in Chiayi County, Taiwan. The construction of the project starts Budai in June 2025, according to the project developer. Once operational, the project is expected to be one of the largest fishing solar farms in Taiwan, able to produce 180 GWh of renewable energy…
Researchers have designed a new multigeneration energy system that offers five outputs, namely electricity, hydrogen, cooling, heating and hot water. The system is mainly driven by a solar -heliostat system and contains compressed air and pumped hydro -storage technologies for storing surplus power. June 10, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of researchers from Canadian Ontario Tech University developed a new multi -owneration system that is able to offer electricity, hydrogen, cooling, heating and hot water. Driven by solar -high -pat technology, the proposed system uses microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) to produce hydrogen and pumped hydro and compressed air for storing…
A 3D Render of the LDES site from Buckinghamshire. Image: Root-Power. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Developer Root-Power today (June 10) announced that the plans has submitted for four energy storage projects in the tender (LDES) from OFGEM. The four LDEs projects submitted by Root-Power for the Cap and Floor Scheme have a combined 2.4GWH of storage capacity and, if approved, will be built in West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Buckinghamshire and Lincolnshire. All four projects will use Vanadium Flow Battery Systems, a technology that is currently relatively unusual in the British Bess sector. Prior to today’s announcement, Root-Power was almost…
Grid companies Lew Vertilnetz and Bayern work have launched a pilot project to feed renewable energy in a more grid -friendly way in the electricity network. One of the energy storage sites to be used in the project stems from green flexibility. June 10, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News Developer of energy storage Green flexibility supplies a 40 MW/80 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Germany to the Pilot project “Feed-in Socket” Is launched by grid operators Lew Vertilnetz and Bayern work. The companies are developing a more cost -efficient and grid -neutral approach for integrating clean energy…
Future Homes Standard with the mandate of the solar panel for new houses, the British government confirms. New building regulations are expected to make PV a requirement for almost all houses, with only “rare exceptions” where the impact would be negligible, according to the British energy secretary Ed Miliband. June 10, 2025 Matthew Lynas Solar on the roof on a house in Birmingham Image: Elliott Brown, Flickr, CC by 2.0 Solar panels are required on almost all new houses built in England under new regulations set for publication in the autumn of 2025. UK Government Energy Secretary Ed Miliband confirmed…
The project is intended for energy in 2026. Image: Aura Power. Solar PV developer Aura Power has announced that it has successfully obtained the financing for his third British solar project. The Grimsby Solar Farm, located in Noordoost -Lincolnshire, has completed a generation capacity of 49.9 MW once. The senior debt facility, the size of which has not been revealed, is provided by Rabobank. The Dutch multinational banking company also recently provided financial packages for the other upcoming solar projects of Aura Power, after he had agreed a £ 44 million debt facility in October 2024 for the 49.9 MW…
The American solar production was flown in sharply in the first quarter of 2025, to support record levels of new capacity because solar energy and storage were 82% of the additions to the grid. But proposed legislation and rising import rates can cloud growth. June 10, 2025 Anne Fischer By PV Magazine USA The 8.6 GW of the production capacity of a new solar module added in the first quarter of 2025 marks the second largest quarter for new production capacity, according to the “US Solar Market Insight Q2 2025” report Through the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood…
Vegetable and sperm oil are increasingly being used to insulate electrical transmission equipment. The IEC offers the standards for these environmentally friendly insulating liquids. Electricity is used in developed countries without even thinking about it. It is used for almost any action, from switching the lights in the morning to watching television in the evening before the alarm is set for the next day. It is one of the characteristics of the fully electrical and connected society: the assumption that electricity will always be there to meet every need. But to make that happen, many people who work in utility…
By Brad Kramer June 9, 2025 Enbridge continues to invest in solar energy, because the company that is known for its oil and gas piping activities has cut the ribbon on a PV project in Corpus Christi, Texas. Plus, Projects weekly Highlights Avangrid start commercial activities on its 202 MW Powell Creek Solar Project in Ohio; Bluetti’s partnership with Footprint project to bring essential lifelines to storm-hit communities; Nextera’s Amite Solar Energy Center in Louisiana; And the completion of a 36-hectare solar project for First Energy-daughter companies Mon Power and Potomac Edison in West Virginia.
