A new solar energy prototype designed to improve panel efficiency in hot climates has been assembled and tested in Jordan. The initiative is part of FAO’s “ Lowering costs via Efficiency Gains of Solar energy systems (LEGS)” project, supported by the ELEVATE 2025 Innovation Fund.
[pdf] UL Certification (specifically standards like UL 9540 for Energy Storage Systems and UL 1741 for inverters) is the gold standard, rigorously verifying that: Electrical components meet stringent safety requirements. Systems are designed to prevent fire, electric shock, and other hazards.
[pdf] In March 2025, this Mediterranean hub mandated a 30% energy storage ratio for all new renewable projects [1]. That means for every 100MW of solar or wind installed, developers must pair it with 30MW of storage capacity.
[pdf] Since August 28, 2025, Decree “MASE No. 220/2025” has been in force, providing a special procedure for photovoltaic systems with capacity over 1 MW using “non-Chinese” components. The Fer X Transitorio decree excludes photovoltaic systems with modules, cells, and inverters from China.
[pdf] Romania has set a ceiling price of €91 ($99.33)/MWh for solar energy in its first renewables auction..
Romania has set a ceiling price of €91 ($99.33)/MWh for solar energy in its first renewables auction..
The Romanian Ministry of Energy has set a maximum strike price of €91 ($100.7)/MWh for solar projects and €93/MWh for wind projects.
[pdf] In 2021, Honduras' energy mix was led by oil, constituting 52.3% of the total energy supply, followed by biofuels and waste at 33.7%. Modern renewables, which exclude traditional biomass practices like burning wood or agricultural residues, accounted for 13.7%, while coal made up just 0.3%. Currently , 33 percent (502 MW) of the installed capacity of the national interc.
