What 11 islands reveal about the real bottleneck in renewable mini-grids
An IEA-PVPS report examining 11 islands finds that achieving nearly 100% renewable electricity depends as much on strong leadership, community engagement, financing and early planning as on technology. While proven technical solutions vary widely, successful transitions require tailored grid design and sustained institutional support, making replication especially challenging for smaller, remote and lower-income islands.

Forecasting growth
India’s expanding utility-scale solar fleet is creating a growing need for accurate generation forecasts. Yet the country does not have one uniform specification for every project. The requirements depend on the connection point, the responsible scheduling entity, and the rules issued by central or state regulators. For forecasting providers, this makes India a sizable market, but one that requires detailed project-by-project implementation, as Reuniwatt’s Hannah Bergler explains.

US policy tests PV adaptability
When the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) became law in 2022, it provided ample runway for developers and manufacturers in the United States to expand. That was reversed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in 2025, alongside a stream of trade countermeasures and executive orders. Intertek CEA’s Dan Shreve writes that in all instances, the industry has responded by maximizing the impact of what support remains from the IRA and taking advantage of fine print wherever possible.
