The South African Renewable Energy Master Plan (SAREM) aims to deploy at least 3 GW of new renewables per year, increasing to 5 GW by 2030, while creating 25,000 jobs in the country’s renewable energy and storage sectors.
The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) has strengthened its partnership with International Solar Alliance (ISA) by signing ISA’s Multi-Donor Trust Fund, which aims to mobilize $100 million to fund high-impact solar energy projects.
Husk Power Systems has doubled its fleet of community solar minigrids over the past 12 months. It now owns and operates the world’s largest portfolio of private-sector minigrids.
With its containerized solution Prism, Husk Power Systems is now able to deploy minigrids at a rate of one per day with the same resources.
An African Development Bank (AfDB) report covering critical takeaways from the ARE Energy Access Investment Forum 2023 says that challenges in financing, policy, technology, and skills enhancement must be overcome to support the deployment of distributed renewable energy minigrids across Africa.
According to new figures from the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), the continent’s cumulative installed PV capacity reached 16 GW at the end of December, based on 3.7 GW of new annual installations.
Nextracker’s smart solar trackers are now either operational or under fulfillment for 10 GW of PV projects located in the Middle East, Africa, and India.
Will a redeployable solar and energy storage solution be the answer to unreliable grid electricity across much of Africa, as its developer proposes? Or will it merely be a temporary solution that will see cash-strapped utilities kick the can of universal energy access further down the road?
China and the USA have been consistently attracting the most annual solar investments. Together, these have received about 50% of all solar investments since 2015, according to a new report released by the International Solar Alliance at its sixth assembly in New Delhi.
The Assembly has decided to increase the viability gap funding for solar projects in member countries from 10% of the project cost to up to 35%, depending on the capacity and needs of the countries and their respective projects.
