The international agency describes Russia’s difficult transition to clean power generation technologies. The study, however, outlines the country’s strong solar potential.

The British developer has completed PV projects totaling 130 MW in the UK. All the plants were connected in time for the 31 March 1.2 ROC deadline.

The Finnish power utility has completed its third large-scale PV plant in India. The 70 MW Bhadla solar park is located in the state of Rajasthan.

The Indian solar company is planning to deploy 100 MW of PV capacity in Vietnam’s southern region of Binh Phuoc.

The Italian utility is laying the foundations for solar cell production at its PV panel manufacturing facility. The final goal of the project is 1 GW commercial cell production. Meanwhile, Enel Green Power has secured the PPA for a 34 MW PV facility in Zambia, and has broken ground on a 238 MW solar park in Mexico.
