Transnistria's energy ministry recently piloted a 2MW solar-plus-storage microgrid in Ribnita, achieving 94% uptime during grid failures. The secret sauce? A three-layer system: This hybrid approach reduced diesel generator use by 78% in preliminary tests—a crucial step toward decarbonization.
[pdf] Neom's utility subsidiary, Enowa, is expected to issue the request for proposals (RFP) for a contract to develop and operate the first phase of Neom's pumped hydropower storage (PHS) network in the fourth quarter of 2024.
[pdf] With over 250 sunny days per year, the city offers ideal conditions for solar power generation. A new photovoltaic (PV) panel manufacturer in Tbilisi is tapping into this potential, offering cost-effective solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial clients.
[pdf] Iran has held an inauguration ceremony for 250 MW of new solar plants. The country's President, Masoud Pezhakian, launched the projects during an inauguration ceremony on October 11, which also marked the start of implementing a further 450 MW of solar.
[pdf] Take the recent hybrid microgrid project in Cap-Haïtien. It combines 800kW solar PV with a 1.2MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), providing 24/7 power to 1,500 households. This kind of solution could potentially slash diesel consumption by 70% in off-grid areas. Let's break it down.
[pdf] The project uses bifacial solar panels—a first in Central Asia—that capture sunlight from both sides. These panels generate 15-20% more energy than traditional models, crucial in Ashgabat''s dusty environment. Maintenance? Drones with AI-powered cleaning systems handle panel upkeep monthly.
