The West Africa Container Terminal (WACT) has signed a solar lease agreement with a pan-African clean energy company to provide at least 1.2GW hours of electricity each year over a 15-year period. The Terminal is located within the Oil and Gas Free Zone at the Onne Port in Nigeria’s Rivers State.
[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] The project will invest in the construction of a 100MW/500MWh vanadium liquid flow energy storage demonstration power plant. This project is a key support project for the construction of a world-class vanadium titanium industry base and an important national clean energy base.
[pdf] That's where the Guangming New Energy Storage Base steps in. Spanning 12.8 square kilometers in Anhui Province, this $2.4 billion project's redefining how we store clean energy. China added 216 GW of solar capacity in 2023 alone - enough to power 30 million homes.
[pdf] The two companies announced on 4 November that their jointly operated business is constructing a 30MW/125MWh BESS at the Sonnedix solar PV plant in Kyushu, southern Japan. Construction began in October 2024, and the partners are scheduled to bring it into commercial operation in November 2026.
[pdf] With a planned capacity of 800 MW/3200 MWh, this project aims to stabilize grids and support solar/wind integration. Here''s what you need to know: "This tender could redefine energy infrastructure in North Asia, creating 2,000+ jobs and reducing carbon emissions by 4 million tons annually."
