Last month, Kathmandu approved five new solar-plus-storage projects using what locals call "Bato power" – rugged battery systems adapted to mountain villages. But why’s this happening now, and what makes Nepal’s approach unique?
[pdf] The Nepal Bato Energy Storage Project isn't just breaking records – it's rewriting the playbook for high-altitude renewable systems. With 200MWh capacity and 85% round-trip efficiency, this initiative's become a blueprint for regions where geography literally shapes energy policy.
[pdf] ASTERIx-CAESar is a Horizon Europe funded project focusing on the development of a novel high-efficiency solar thermal power plant concept with an integrated electricity storage solution (GA 101122231).
[pdf] Transport for London (TfL) is planning to set up dedicated solar farms that can help to power the Tube network. The transport body said it is looking for a delivery partner to invest in the project as it launched a competitive tender process on Thursday.
[pdf] ACWA Power has been awarded the contracts to develop and operate the Noor Midelt II & III solar projects in Morocco. The projects have a combined capacity of 800 megawatts in Morocco, according to local media reports.
[pdf] The Greenvolt Group has reached an agreement with Nuveen Infrastructure for the sale of a solar photovoltaic portfolio distributed across various regions of Italy for €18.7million.
