The Brazilian Association of Energy Storage Solutions gathered executives to debate applications that could solve systemic challenges facing the Brazilian electricity sector. The issue, they argue, goes beyond a “BESS vs. thermal or renewables vs. energy security” debate, but involves finding the best combination of security, price, ‘renewability’, and flexibility.

SolarPower Europe estimates that EU solar generation is significantly underreported, with actual PV output projected at 410 TWh in 2025 versus 275 TWh in official statistics. The group attributes the gap to incomplete rooftop PV registration, data transfer delays, and the difficulty of measuring self-consumed solar electricity.

Fujiyama Power Systems, which currently operates a 1 GW mono PERC solar cell manufacturing facility in Uttar Pradesh, plans to set up an additional 1.2 GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh as part of its strategy to expand its presence in the on-grid rooftop solar segment.

The new pan-European digital platform is designed to enhance transparency and improve access to information on the hosting capacity of European electricity grids, including both transmission and distribution networks.

Regulators in 27 U.S. states are shifting residential electricity pricing toward higher fixed monthly charges and lower usage-based rates, weakening the economics of rooftop solar and home battery systems. This redesign reduces incentives for distributed energy, compresses savings from peak-rate arbitrage, and reinforces reliance on costly centralized grid expansion, potentially raising long-term electricity costs for consumers.

Citroën ha confirmado el regreso del legendario 2CV en formato eléctrico y asequible, reinterpretando uno de los mayores iconos de la automoción europea.

El gigantesco proyecto con 200 baterías térmicas de Antora se ha construido en menos de 12 meses.

Tras una trayectoria excepcional como directivo de la OCDE, Khazanah, BBVA y Telefónica, el hispano-francés dirige ahora Kembara, su fondo de climate tech con el BEI. Entre sus apuestas: Submer, Nnaisense, Witrac y Citibox. Mientras, traduce poetas franceses y escribe novelas. Varias vidas aunadas con coherencia.

Según los responsables del proyecto, el menor tamaño y peso del convertidor facilita su transporte, instalación y mantenimiento, además de permitir diseños de infraestructura más flexibles y económicos en proyectos de gran escala.
