Hydropower, the “forgotten giant” of low-carbon electricity, will need major policy support to help accelerate the expansion of solar and wind power and put the world on track for net-zero goals, according to the International […]
Presently, global expansion of renewable energy is one of the main objectives to trade-off between faster energy transition and mitigating the environmental challenges. There is a surge to achieve the same in hydropower plants, as […]
The World Bank estimated that there is a 400 GW global market capacity for floating photovoltaic (FPV) projects under conservative estimations, which is equivalent to the complete world cumulative solar capacity by 2017. This estimation […]
Africa is blessed with sunlight throughout the year with solar irradiance levels reaching over 2000 kWh/m2 In spite of this fact, 90% of electricity generation in countries including Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zambia is […]
Floating Solar PV is a promising technology which enables us to harness solar power by floating it in water. On the other hand, Hydropower is an established technology to produce electricity. But what would happen […]
Large-scale Floating Solar power plants (FSPP) is a suitable solution for offsetting the underperforming hydropower dams in places where the solar irradiance is good. In the study done by Michigan State University researchers, Brazil now […]
Portugal is the home of the world’s first combination of the hydroelectric and solar power plant in which the solar plant produces enough energy to power the equivalent of 100 homes for an entire year. […]
Thailand is one of the pioneer countries in floating solar power plants. Currently, over 450 MW of floating PV installations have been built, mostly in China, Japan, India, and South Korea. According to RenewableEnergyWorld news, […]
A fact-based ranking system, the Energy Transition Index (ETI), helps businesses and policymakers understand which countries are on track for energy transition success [1]. The ETI is a composite score of 40 indicators, sourced from […]
The Outline of Employment in Renewables Employment in renewable energy was estimated to be at 12 million in 2020 globally, an increase from 11.5 million in 2019 [1]. It demonstrates a 70% increase compared to […]
