With so much more agricultural real estate than Europe, the United States is building on the body of research built up across The Pond and rolling out solar panels on farmland at an impressive rate.

EDF has purchased UK heat pump installer CB Heating for an undisclosed sum.

The opportunities available from the aggregation and interpretation of mass data are huge and could help attract investors and ensure more efficient electricity networks as the world races to try and achieve the UN goal of access to reliable energy for all this decade.

EDF’s new 20 MW floating solar project is built close to an EDF hydropower dam near Lazer, in southern France.

The Canadian province needs to commission 5 GW of newly-built electricity generation capacity to cope with demand driven in part by electric vehicles and nuclear energy retirements.

France’s EDF Renewables has won contracts for three large solar and storage projects, with a combined 1 GW of capacity.

French energy giants TotalEnergies and Engie are reportedly interesting in acquiring GreenYellow.

EDF Renouvelables expects to switch on a solar array at a nuclear plant in France in early 2023. It will rely on 22,000 solar modules. The Creys-Malville nuclear plant, which was shut down in 1997, is set to be dismantled by 2024.

The Emerge operation established by the two companies operates on-site solar panels for companies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

A group of companies comprising Akuo Energy, Amarenco, BayWa re, EDF Renouvelables, Enel Green Power, Engie, Iberdrola and Vattenfall has sent a letter to the European Commission to ask for a strategy to build up a continental PV supply chain.
