Pioneering solar projects which signed ten-year feed-in tariff agreements will soon need to operate free of subsidy and with local authorities like the City of London starting to embrace direct contracts with renewables generators, the PPA market could be set for another turbo charge.
Portugal now has more than 1.03 GW of operational PV capacity, making solar its third-biggest renewable energy source behind hydropower (7.1 GW) and wind power (5.4 GW). However, PV remains the resource with the greatest growth potential in the country.
Scientists in Portugal have proposed a new framework to simulate mismatch conditions at the cell level. They claim the tool is particularly suitable for simulations of small PV systems with few module strings.
The latest edition of the accountant’s renewables attractiveness index has placed the nation in top spot for photovoltaics, helping it to fourth spot for overall clean energy investment. Mexico has been hammered by the government’s attitude to clean power and France has also slipped, four places.
Located in Evora, southern Portugal, the solar park is being planned by a Spanish-Portuguese consortium. The plant will be linked to a 10 MW storage system.
Often dependent on fuel imports from the mainland and frequently powered by fossil fuels, islands have taken center stage at an online forum which builds on a political process kicked-off by Croatia’s presidency of the European Council.
Hyperion Renewables continues to expand its PV plant portfolio and is now working on green hydrogen production and distributed generation projects.
German group WiNRG completed three of the six projects totaling 205 MW that it is currently building in Portugal.
The Portuguese and Dutch governments want to connect the hydrogen project of Sines to the Port of Rotterdam and to develop a strategic export-import value chain to ensure the production and transport of green hydrogen to the Netherlands and its hinterland.
Scientists have developed a new micro CIGS cell by using an area-selective electro-deposition process as a material-saving technique. It has a conversion efficiency rate of 5.2% and a high open-circuit voltage.
