The government of Bhutan has started construction of the country's first large-scale ground-mounted solar power plant, the Sephu Solar Project, which has an installed capacity of 17.38MW. The Ministry of Energy of the Bhutanese government (under the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Bhutan) will oversee work on the project, which will be completed by a joint venture between Bhutanese construction company M/S Rigsar and Indian engineering firm PES. The Bhutanese government plans to complete the project construction by the end of 2024. At that time, the power station will be handed over to the Bhutanese power company Druk Green Power for operation. According to the Bhutanese government, the project is being financed primarily by the Asian Development Bank, which has pledged grants and loans to cover the $11 million project cost. The Sephu power station will be the first large-scale ground-mounted solar project in Bhutan's solar industry, and Rubesa has only one 180kW power station in operation. The Sephu Power Station will be a central component of Bhutan's growing solar industry. The government of Bhutan plans to have installed solar capacity of 500MW by the end of 2025 and 1GW by the end of this century. Bhutan hopes to diversify its energy structure and reduce its dependence on imported electricity from India. Currently, biofuels and hydropower dominate Bhutan's energy mix. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Bhutan will have an installed electricity capacity of 2.3GW in 2021, 84% of which will come from renewable sources. Of this, 54 percent comes from bioenergy and 46 percent from hydropower, a reliance on hydropower that often leads to disruptions in Bhutan's energy grid. During winter, when energy demand is high, Bhutan's hydropower production capacity drops significantly. Bhutan's economic affairs minister, Loknath Sharma, said in a speech in February this year that Bhutan's grid can generate about 2.3GW of electricity in the "remaining period of time", but in winter, as temperatures drop and rivers freeze, power output drops to 500MW. . Bhutan's energy demand in winter is as high as 670MW, and by 2030, Bhutan's energy demand will reach 1.5GW. During the most recent winter, Bhutan imported about $9.7 million (Nur 800 million) in electricity from India. It is important for the Bhutanese government to ensure that electricity supply is not affected by seasonal fluctuations or foreign import costs.

On July 8, Huadian Tianjin Haijing's 1,000,000-kilowatt "salt-solar complementary" power station, the world's largest single-capacity "salt-solar complementary" power station, was connected to the grid for power generation. While improving the ability to guarantee power supply in North China, a composite industrial model of photovoltaic power generation, water surface brine production, and underwater aquaculture has been explored. The biggest difference from other photovoltaic power plants is that the distance between the photovoltaic arrays here is much larger, reaching 14 meters, almost twice that of other photovoltaic power plants. The purpose of this is to minimize the shadowing of the solar panels on the water surface and the impact on the salt production. The slope of this photovoltaic panel is precisely designed to be 17 degrees, while most other photovoltaic power plants are about 30 to 40 degrees. This is because, judging from the trajectory of the sun throughout the year, the occlusion of the water surface at 17 degrees is the smallest. Moreover, both sides of the photovoltaic panel here can generate electricity. In addition to directly absorbing sunlight on the upper surface for electrical energy conversion, its back can also absorb sunlight reflected from the water surface. This alone can increase its power generation efficiency by 5%-7 %. After the project is put into operation, 1.5 billion kilowatt-hours of green electricity will be produced from the 20,000 mu of salt fields every year, which will further promote the transformation of the green energy structure in North China and drive the internal circulation of the regional industrial chain. At the same time, it realizes a new compound industrial model of "salt and light complementarity" of photovoltaic power generation on water, brine production by surface evaporation, and underwater aquaculture.

Greece's energy history has been dominated by lignite power stations, driven by abundant lignite reserves. At present, however, Greece has begun to make strong statements about the energy transition and has begun to close some old power plants. According to industry commentators, Greece is currently one of the most promising countries for solar PV among the southern European countries, and Greece has been holding clean energy tenders since 2018/19. Currently, Greece also presents a promising PPA market, which we discussed in our cover story on the European market. Greece is a small market of around 10.5 million inhabitants, with tourism as the backbone of its economy. Greece doesn't have much heavy industry, meaning electricity demand is relatively low. However, there are still a large number of solar energy project applications underway, and Greece has the highest stand-alone energy storage target in Europe. Philipp Kunze, project director for BayWa r.e. Greece, said: "In my opinion, Greece is both an opportunity and a challenge. BayWa r.e. has 1.3GW of solar projects in Greece. The interesting aspect of the market is that Greece really understands the energy transition, especially in the power sector , because Greece does have a lot of solar and wind resources." Kunze added that there are several gigawatts of PV applications pending, making Greece "a very competitive market". Due to the relatively limited load in Greece and the limited grid capacity, grid operators are slow to implement grid-connected photovoltaic power generation. Still, the operator has "ambitious plans" to expand the grid, while Greece is exploring the possibility of additional grid connections with various immediate neighbours, including a controversial one with Germany. "The government has a very specific position on grid connection priorities, which has also made some international companies more concerned about the long-term viability or attractiveness of big players in a market like Greece," Kunze said. Looking at fundamental grid issues, most signs are very positive for the future of the Greek solar market. Stelios Psomas, policy advisor to the Greek Association of Photovoltaic Enterprises HELAPCO, said that all indicators, whether installed capacity, pending applications, investment or jobs, point to a peak. While developers are disappointed that it will take months to wait to connect to the grid, for Psomas these are the "best times" so far for the Greek PV industry and "the outlook is even better". While statistics have yet to be released, HELAPCO believes that 2GW could be connected to the grid this year, which Psomas said was a "huge number" for a relatively small country like Greece. In its EU Solar Market Outlook 2022-2026 report, Solar Power Europe noted that in 2022 the Greek market will grow by 62% from the previous year to 1.4GW, driven mainly by small ground-mounted PV projects below 500kW. Positive growth trends have emerged in both the large-scale ground ...
