A new solar farm, the Kingfisher Solar Farm, is planned for East Yorkshire to provide clean, renewable energy. Located three miles north of Beverley and east of the A164, the project is being proposed by Ørsted, a global leader in renewable energy projects. With a capacity of 320 MW, the farm is expected to be […]
R.Power, one of Europe’s leading independent renewable energy producers and developers, has announced an ambitious strategic plan to expand its footprint in the Portuguese and Iberian Peninsula markets. The company aims to achieve a portfolio of 100 MWp in photovoltaic power plants in Portugal over the coming years, while also increasing investments in Spain and […]
Development has begun on Leoda Solar Farm, a 500-600MW solar-battery project in Lincolnshire, UK, by Telis Energy subsidiary Leoda Solar Farm Ltd. This hybrid project integrates solar energy generation with a battery energy storage system (BESS) to store surplus power and ensure supply reliability during peak demand. Initial land surveys are underway, with a public […]
In Europe, the United Kingdom stands out as a prime destination for harnessing wind power, holding a prominent position globally as well. Notably, wind power is the largest source of renewable energy in the UK. As of 2023, the country boasted a remarkable count of over 11 thousand wind turbines, showcasing a combined capacity of […]
Solar power has been a growing sector of renewable energy in Europe for decades now – and it is not stopping. In this article, we present the largest photovoltaic projects in Europe as of August 2023. 1) 1.35GW Karapinar solar park in Turkey Located in Konya in south central Turkey, the Karapinar solar plant is […]
Spain is among the European leaders when it comes to solar power: In 2022, Spain was ranked the leading solar PV market in Europe with Germany in second place. After another analysis in 2023, Spain ranked second after Germany. In this article, we introduce the three largest operational solar farms in Spain as of August […]
The renewable energy capacity in Scandinavian countries has been growing steadily during the past two centuries. In this article, we focus on solar energy in Scandinavia and have picked the largest solar projects in Finland, Sweden and Denmark to present to you. 1) Finland: 500MW photovoltaic farm A consortium of different companies is planning a […]
In 2021, France added 2.57GW of solar capacity. In 2022, the number was similarly high: 2.4GW of grid photovoltaic were deployed, including 743MW from Q4 alone. At the end of December 2022, France came to a total installed photovoltaic capacity of 16.5 GW. 70% of the newly added capacity came from the regions of Provence-Alpes-Côte […]
Germany was a pioneer when it came to installing grid-scale photovoltaic, and among the first countries to reach a total installed solar capacity of 1GW in 2004. Since then, solar energy has been continuing to expand in the country. Examples for this are the three large-scale projects in this article. Currently, Germany‘s solar capacity target […]
Denmark reached its goal to achieve 200 MW of solar energy by 2020 much faster than it had set out. In 2012, the country experienced a rapid solar energy growth burst in installed MW from 9 to 316 MW. But it did not stop there: Since 2012, many more solar projects have been developed over […]
