Renewable energy sources accounted for more than 90% of the new electric generating capacity that was added in the United States in 2024 – only on solar energy was good for more than 81%. Specifically for December 2024, renewable energy sources were 86.9% of the new generating capacity. In its last monthly “Update for energy -infrastructure”Report, Ferc says that 105″ units “of solar energy with a total of 4,369 MW were used in December, together with two winds units (324 MW) and two units of biomass (45 mW). Natural gas offered the balance: 717 Mrs. During the entire calendar year…

The latest analysis of ALEASOFT Energy Forecasting showed that the weekly average electricity prices in the last week of January fell, despite an increase in gas and CO2-Future prices, thanks to an increase in solar and wind production and decrease in demand for electricity. February 7, 2025 Patrick Jowett The average electricity prices fell against the major European markets in the last week of January, according to analysis by ALEASOFT Energy Prognee. Compared to the week beforeThe consultancy registered a decrease in the weekly price average in the Belgian, British, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Nordic, Portuguese and Spanish markets. The…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. February 7, 2025 Opis The Global Polysilicon Marker (GPM), the OPIS -Benchmark for Polysilicon outside China, was rated this week at $ 20,360/kg, or $ 0.046/W, unchanged from the previous week of unchanged market fundamentals. The global polysilicon market remains modest, without significant shifts in supply or supply. WAFER production speeds in Southeast Asia, the primary import market, show no signs of growth and uncertainty about international trade policy suggests that a short-term repair…

The factory is expected to start construction next year. Image: Stakraft. Developer of Renewable Energie Statkraft has received a full building permit for a 39.9 MW Solar PV energy plant that is located in southwestern England. Statkraft started at the beginning of 2024 for the first time about the public consultation for the Kitland Solar Farm, with the help of this feedback to form the final application that it submitted to North Somerset in May 2024. Planning stamp, also contains the option to add a battery energy storage system (BESS) at a later time. The construction is expected to start…

The production capacity of India will reach 50 GW to 55 GW against tax 2027, from 10 GW at the end of the Tax 2024, says Crisil Ratings February 7, 2025 Uma Gupta By PV Magazine India Crisil Ratings said that a new report that the production capacity of India will reach the production capacity of solar cells 50 GW to 55 GW against tax 2027, from 10 GW at the end of the tax 2024. It claimed that the government policy aimed at reducing The PV -cell and module import will send the expansion. It said that the expansion…

Catalyst Power Holdings collaborates with Sunny Side Storage to develop a 650-KW portfolio of roof and soil mounting solar systems in their facilities in true, Massachusetts. Commercial and industrial solar sun is an essential strategy for Massachusetts to achieve the ambitious goals of the state. Massachusetts offers companies considerable opportunities through programs such as SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) and commercial tax stimuli that make solar energy attractive to owners of commercial real estate. “We are pleased to work with Sunny Side Storage LLC to develop these solar projects and to benefit the local community of Wue. Massachusetts offers companies…

The Flanders region of Belgium installed at least 646 MW Zonne -Zon in 2024, so that the total installed capacity was brought to almost 7 GW. This month, the region marked its 1 millionth solar panel installation, powered by industrial roof projects. February 7, 2025 Patrick Jowett In 2024, the Belgian region of Flanders deployed more than 646.19 MW Solar, shared according to provisional data by sector Federation Ode Vlaanderen. While in 2023 he in the record year of the region for the implementation of solar energy, when More than 1 GW was installed, Ode Vlaanderen said PV -Magazine Last…

China has announced new export restrictions on materials that are essential for the thin film solar industry, including critical minerals such as strap, Tellurium and Indium. February 7, 2025 Vincent Shaw The Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the General Board of Customs has imposed export checks on tilla window, Tellurium, Bismut, Molybdenen and Indium. The decision, approved by the State Council, is intended to protect national security, to protect strategic means and to meet international non-proliferation obligations, according to an official statement. Exportors of these materials must now obtain special approval from the Ministry, in accordance with the Chinese export…

Quantum factors increase the efficiency of the energy transport of plants For countless engineers, converting sunlight into easily stored chemical energy is a sustainable goal. Nevertheless, nature perfected this challenge billions of years ago. A recent study shows that quantum mechanics, once thought that it is limited to physics, is also essential for important biological processes. Green plants and other photosynthetic organisms use quantum mechanisms to capture the energy of the sun. According to Prof. dr. Jurgen Hauer: “When the light is absorbed in a leaf, the electronic excitation energy, for example, is spread over different situations of any excited…

China exported 235.93 GW of PV panels in 2024, an increase of 13% compared to the previous year. Of these, 94.4 GW were shipped to Europe, with a 7% decrease from 2023. February 7, 2025 Pilar Sánchez Molina China exported 235.93 GW of PV modules in 2024, an increase of 13% compared to 207.99 GW in 2023, according to customs data from PV Infolink. Worldwide module readings rose by 13% year after year, which exceeds the expectations of demand, with the exception of Europe, where shipments fell by 7%. Other regions saw strong growth. The Middle East increased by 99%,…
