Yap State Public Service Corp. is seeking bids to supply solar minigrids with battery energy storage systems (BESS), totaling 79 kW, for Yap Island in the Federated States of Micronesia. Applications are open until Jan. 28, 2025.
Once electricity prices hit $0.25/kWh, disconnecting from the grid with residential solar-plus-storage starts to become financially viable, with sunny places making strong financial arguments. With recent drops in battery prices, the case for leaving the grid has grown even stronger.
Researchers in Spain have created a novel method to select within a set of water bodies those where the investment in floating PV could be most beneficial. They combined geographic information systems, multi-criteria analysis, and intelligent optimization. The new approach reportedly results up to 8.4% better LCOE compared to conventional methods.
Italian energy producer ERG has launched an initiative to reuse discarded solar modules from revamped plants for social solar projects. The program aims to support communities, hospitals, families, and schools in Africa and Italy, using panels that are still in good condition and fully functional.
National Storage Affiliates (NSA) has agreed to develop a plan to install more than 100 MW of rooftop solar, developed in 42 US states and Puerto Rico, across roughly 1,000 locations.
Cumulative community solar installations are forecast to increase from less than 7 GW installed today to more than 14 GW in five years.
Researchers have simulated the addition of PV plants and waste-to-energy systems in the Iraqi Al-Gharab region, that suffers from power cuts, and have identified the optimal size and locations for these hybrid plants, with the LCOE dropping by 7.7%.
Two Ukrainian hospitals recently hosted inauguration ceremonies for hybrid solar and storage systems that have been installed through an initiative spearheaded by the RePower Ukraine Charitable Foundation.
A tender has begun in Uganda seeking consultants to support a business development programme aimed at supporting small to medium-sized enterprises in solar and cooking. The deadline for applications is August 13.
The country’s ecological transition ministry has published the regulatory bases of aid to large hydrogen clusters, industrial capacities in solar, wind energy, heat pumps, batteries and electrolysers; innovative renewable energy, storage and heat pump projects; and energy communities.
