UK solar capacity hits 20 GW
Major milestone for UK solar deployment as 15 CfD-backed projects switch on during the first three quarters of 2025. Further utility-scale deployment is expected, but much will depend on the outcomes in the next two CfD allocation rounds.
Key takeaways from Energy Taiwan & Net Zero Taiwan 2025
Powering the AI revolution is going to require a lot of renewable deployment, with offtake agreement potential for PV. Taiwan module manufacturers hope for stricter US foreign entity of concern (FEOC) rules, but low module prices leave Europe off limits. Floating solar is under the microscope in the wake of Typhoon Danas, while rural Taiwanese consumers reassess energy storage, according to exhibitors.
Japan’s NGK discontinues manufacturing of sodium-sulfur batteries
The manufacturer cites rising material costs, heightened competition from lithium-ion batteries, and the slow uptake of long-duration storage technologies as the reasons for the decision.
Uzbekistan expands solar home subsidy uptake to over 35,000 households
More than 35,000 households in Uzbekistan received state subsidies for exporting surplus electricity from rooftop solar systems between January and September, says the State Tax Committee, as participation in the Solar Home program accelerates nationwide.
Hydrogen production to lower curtailment at Dutch solar park
The H2 Hollandia project will connect a 5 MW electrolyzer to an existing 115 MW solar park to produce around 300,000 kg of green hydrogen annually. Project developers told pv magazine the electrolyzer will prevent around half of the solar park’s current curtailment levels.
