In the Netherlands, new feed-in fees introduced in August 2024 are significantly affecting solar system owners. One homeowner in southern Holland has demonstrated how to reduce the impact using solar-powered heating.
The advantages and potential of combining solar and wind parks with battery storage at one location are considerable. The main stumbling block for a market launch is the regulatory system. However, some European countries are now leading the way.
SMA Altenso, a subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology, is driving forward the flexible use of renewable energies worldwide. A project in Namibia Altenso has now passed the milestone of 1 gigawatt in total power delivered for hydrogen applications.
The 49.9 MW project in Sandon Brook/UK, owned and overseen by Low Carbon, is the first from Trinasolar to combine modules, mounting and energy storage.
One of the first hybrid solar parks in Sweden has been successfully commissioned in Halmstad. By co-locating PV technology with modern battery energy storage, this project is an example of the interplay between renewable energies, grid stability and high energy efficiency – the path to a sustainable and resilient energy future.
Our special issue on hybrid power plants and the technology required for them is now available for you. In the run-up to Intersolar, you can find out why storage units and solar are increasingly being planned together.
A demonstration plant for the Modular Hydrogen Platform (MHP) large-scale electrolyzer from Quest One is being built on the MAN Energy Solutions site in Augsburg, Germany. Test operation and field data will enable comprehensive optimization of plant operations as well as the assembly and service concept of the electrolyzer.
The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung - ZSW) in Stuttgart/Germany has started work on the further expansion of its electrolysis test site in line with the “ElyLab” testing and innovation centre.
Renewable hydrogen developer and independent producer DH2 Energy is developing four large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Spain's Extremadura region. The DH2 Energy initiatives under way in Extremadura represent a total investment of €2.25 billion.
MAN Energy Solutions and H-TEC Systems in cooperation with Helen Oy will execute Helsinki Hydrogen Plan. The 3H2 pilot project combines four different sectors, electricity, heating, transportation and hydrogen as well as flexibility between them.
With the 450-megawatt hybrid project, the company based in Dresden, Germany is planning a utility-scale plant for continuous green electricity generation.
European Energy has started constructing Sweden’s first large-scale hybrid park in Skåramåla in the municipality of Tingsryd, where the existing wind farm is supplemented by a solar park.
Until now, hydrogen has been produced from fossil resources or with the help of electrolysis. But what potential do biogenic residues offer? This is what the BiReMiH2 project of the HY2.ZERO network in southern Germany is investigating.
