Transnistria's energy ministry recently piloted a 2MW solar-plus-storage microgrid in Ribnita, achieving 94% uptime during grid failures. The secret sauce? A three-layer system: This hybrid approach reduced diesel generator use by 78% in preliminary tests—a crucial step toward decarbonization.
[pdf] Iran has expanded its renewables capacity by opening 250 megawatts (MW) of new solar power plants. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian used a video link to open the solar plants on Saturday as he ordered the start of works on building another 450 MW of new plants across the country.
[pdf] The project uses bifacial solar panels—a first in Central Asia—that capture sunlight from both sides. These panels generate 15-20% more energy than traditional models, crucial in Ashgabat''s dusty environment. Maintenance? Drones with AI-powered cleaning systems handle panel upkeep monthly.
[pdf] PV containers, also known as photovoltaic containers, are innovative solutions designed to integrate solar energy generation into modular and transportable units.
[pdf] Iran has held an inauguration ceremony for 250 MW of new solar plants. The country's President, Masoud Pezhakian, launched the projects during an inauguration ceremony on October 11, which also marked the start of implementing a further 450 MW of solar.
[pdf] Operational since Q2 2024, this €1.2 billion marvel can power 800,000 homes for 8 hours straight while stabilizing the Balkan grid. But here's the kicker – it's achieving 82% round-trip efficiency, outperforming even the Swiss Nant de Drance facility's 80% benchmark [8].
