In June 2022, Generadora Metropolitana, a joint venture formed by Chile's electricity company AME and France's Electricity Group (EDF), began construction of the photovoltaic plant. At the end of 2021, they revealed that they had secured $980 million in financing, part of which would be invested in building solar power stations.

  • Analysts expect the United States to add more than 50 GW of solar capacity in 2024
    Analysts expect the United States to add more than 50 GW of solar capacity in 2024
    • January 15, 2024

    The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) says about 45 gigawatts of solar projects larger than 1 megawatt (AC) will be installed in 2024, while Wood Mackenzie estimates 8 GW of small solar projects. The agency said it expects that to increase to about 53 GW by 2025. EIA also said it expects utility-scale solar to account for 6 percent of total electricity generation in 2024 and 7 percent in 2025. This is in the context of a projected increase of 3% in total electricity generation in 2024 and maintained in 2025. It will remain unchanged in 2025. Small-scale solar power is expected to account for 2% of total power generation by 2024, increasing to 2.3% by 2025. This means that solar power will account for 8% of total electricity consumption in 2024 and 9.3% in 2025. By 2025, solar power will reach about 65 GW, and by 2026, solar power will account for nearly 11 percent of all electricity generation.

  • The UK has 15.6GW of solar capacity
    The UK has 15.6GW of solar capacity
    • January 11, 2024

    According to statistics from the UK's Department of Energy Security and Net Zero Emissions (DESNZ), as of the end of November 2023, the UK's cumulative photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 15.6 GW. In the first 11 months of this year, 871 MW of PV systems were added in the UK. This is a significant increase compared to the 496.8 MW added in the first 11 months of 2022 and 323.9 MW added in the same period of 2021. But a spokesman for the UK Solar Industry Association said that the new solar capacity in the UK in 2023 is larger than the DESNZ data, and is likely to exceed 1 GW. The last time the UK deployed more than 1 GW of solar capacity in a calendar year was in 2016.

    • January 08, 2024

    A new agreement signed between Chinese companies and Egyptian government officials is part of Egypt's Green Corridor Initiative to increase the use of renewable energy. The solar projects involved in the agreement are expected to save more than $1 billion per year in natural gas costs. China Power Technology and Equipment Co LTD has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Egyptian government to develop a 10 GW solar project, according to the Egyptian government. The MOU, which was also signed by Egypt's New and Renewable Energy Authority and the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company, paves the way for preliminary studies for the development of the project. The project is expected to generate about 29,784 GWH of electricity per year, helping to reduce about 14 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and save more than $1 billion per year in natural gas costs. The project is part of Egypt's broader Green Corridor Initiative, which aims to increase the use of renewable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and is part of the country's efforts for sustainable development.

  • Global photovoltaic growth will slow down in 2024
    Global photovoltaic growth will slow down in 2024
    • December 28, 2023

    While total global solar capacity will continue to grow rapidly over the next decade, the pace of installation growth will begin to slow in 2024 compared to the growth rate of recent years. The head of Wood Mackenzie's global solar sector said that if the 2023 forecast is realized, the average annual growth in photovoltaic installed capacity from 2019 to this year will be 28%, with 2023 increasing by 56% compared with 2022. However, on average, the current pace will remain unchanged, with no annual growth from 2024 to 2028, which will include some contraction years. Wood Mackenzie forecasts 270 GW of new solar capacity will be installed globally this year, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts 349 GW of new solar capacity in 2023. The growth of the global solar market follows a classic S-curve. Growth in the steepest part of the curve has been rapid in recent years. Starting in 2024, the industry will pass an inflection point, characterized by a slower growth model. The global solar market is still many times larger than it was just a few years ago, but as the industry matures, it's natural to follow this growth path.

  • Solar-powered bicycle lanes put into use in the Netherlands
    Solar-powered bicycle lanes put into use in the Netherlands
    • December 21, 2023

    French company Colas and Dutch construction contractor BAM Royal Group have built two bicycle lanes equipped with photovoltaic modules in the Netherlands. The two bicycle paths are located in the provinces of Noord-Brabant and Noord-Holland, each covering an area of 1,000 square meters. Photovoltaic module technology provides 21% power generation efficiency per square meter. The solar cells are protected by multiple layers of resin, and the electrical structure is designed to reduce the amount of wiring. The two cycle paths will generate 160 MWh of renewable energy throughout the first year. The two projects are part of an initiative launched in 2018 by the National Water Authority, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. Solar roads are not a new concept in the Netherlands. In 2016, solar panels were installed on a bicycle path near Amsterdam, and in 2020 another solar-powered bicycle path was built in Utrecht. However, the feasibility and economic feasibility of solar roads remain controversial.

    In recent years, the United States has made substantial progress in embracing the renewable energy revolution, positioning itself on the path to a more sustainable future. This shift is driven by a variety of factors including environmental concerns, economic opportunities and technological advances. With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act (BIL), the United States is accelerating its move toward clean energy solutions. In 2022, the share of renewable energy sources (RES), including hydropower, in the country's electricity generation has reached approximately 22%; furthermore, the share of RES in total electricity generation has increased to approximately 30%. It is worth noting that in the transportation sector, consumers are also becoming more aware and increasingly choosing zero-emission fuels such as electric vehicles. EUPD Research estimates that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will account for 5.6% of new car registrations in 2022, with this share having surged to 7.1% in the first half of 2023. The United States has ambitious goals, including achieving 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and striving to achieve economy-wide net-zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than 2050. The targets are expected to provide a major boost to the clean energy industry in the country, further strengthening its commitment to a sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
