utility-scale
Its 10-year solar infrastructure fund is focused on investing in new build utility-scale, subsidy-free solar in the UK, with an expected generation capacity of 2GW
It will back new technologies that enable the growth of hydropower, including the deployment of pumped storage hydro
Together, they will generate more than 500,000MWh of renewable electricity per year – enough to power more than 70,000 homes in New York
The research will focus on Longfield Solar Farm, a new project proposed by EDF Renewables and Padero Solar on around 380 hectares of arable farmland near Chelmsford in Essex
The projects – the state’s largest land-based renewable energy procurement to date – will deliver green electricity to power more than 620,000 homes for at least 20 years
The average energy capacity cost of rapidly decreased from $2,152/kWh in 2015 to $625/kWh three years later
It could exceed 2,500MW over the next four years if currently planned additions are completed and no operating capacity is retired
Minesto says it is a ‘ground-breaking moment’ for the marine industry
Eight consecutive years of record solar growth continued in 2017, with total global installed capacity reached 143GW by the end of the year
Global deployment of utility-scale solar is continuing to accelerate, with 20GW of new capacity connected in the first half of 2017. That’s according to information database Wiki-Solar, which shows this brings the global total towards 120GW, after passing the 100GW milestone only earlier this year. Asia dominated these new installations, with China deploying 9GW and […]
