The Global Electricity Industry Review report by Ember analyzed electricity data from 63 countries representing 87% of electricity demand. As the world recovered from the negative effects of the global new type of coronavirus (Kovid-19) epidemic last year, the report compared the first 6 months of 2021 with the same period of 2019 to reveal how the clean energy transformation took place.

Emissions originating from the electricity sector on a global scale started to increase again after the record decline seen last year as a result of the measures taken to prevent the epidemic.

Desiba Energy, which produces Jurawatt solar panel panels with its partner JVG Thorma, will install GES in Gabon, a Central African country.

Gabon Water and Energy Company (SEEG) will purchase the energy of the 15 MW part of the solar power plant within the scope of the agreement with the Minister of Industry and National Entrepreneurship of Gabon, Carmen Ndaot, with an investment value of 27 million euros.

Within the framework of the Transformation Acceleration Plan (PAT) program, Gabon is planned to increase its solar energy capacity to 250 MW by 2025.

Taking important steps towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions and being carbon neutral, China has increased the amount of energy it produces from solar energy by 23%.

According to data released by Wang Dapeng, director of China’s National Energy Administration, the country’s electricity production from solar energy in the January-June period was 157.64 billion kilowatt-hours. Wang said that in the same period, the newly added installed photovoltaic electricity generation capacity was 13 million kilowatts, and the total installed photovoltaic electricity generation capacity reached 268 million kilowatts at the end of June.

LG aims to switch to 100% renewable energy by 2050.

According to the released ‘LG Electronics Sustainability Report’, LG is committed to reducing carbon emissions in the production phase to 50% of 2017 standards by 2030, while expanding its promise to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 through its “Zero Carbon 2030” initiative.

Starting in North America, LG will power every office and production facility with renewable energy and operate regionally within the year; It will implement the strategy of installing solar panels in its buildings, making power purchase agreements, using Renewable Energy Credit (REC) certificates, participating in Green Premium and purchasing clean energy from Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) in LG’s headquarters in Korea.

Sunseap Group, a major developer in the field of solar energy in Asia, announced that it will establish the world’s largest floating solar farm in Indonesia in the coming years. The CEO of Sunseap Group, Frank Phuan, stated that the solar energy farm planned to be built in Batam, Indonesia, will be started in 2022.

While it is thought that the floating photovoltaic energy system, which is planned to be fully established in 2024, will have a capacity of 2.2 gw, the solar energy system will cover an area of ​​1600 hectares in Batam and will cost approximately 2 billion dollars.

Reliance Industries Ltd., the company of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, will invest Rupees 750 billion ($10 billion) in green energy within 3 years under the “Green Vision” plan announced.

Stating that Reliance will create a fully integrated, end-to-end renewable energy ecosystem, Ambani announced to shareholders that it will invest over Rs 600 billion to build four “giga factories” in the Indian State of Gujarat. Ambani also stated that they will invest an additional Rupees 150 billion in value chain, partnerships and future technologies, including the oil and gas exploration and production sectors.

The UK’s solar sector will double in size by 2030 – but to hit net zero it needs to triple, warns Solar Energy UK. The industry body claims 40GW of solar capacity must be in place by 2030 if the UK is to remain on target to reach net zero by 2050, as set out in its national climate commitments.

In a new report, Solar Energy UK predicts such a scaling up of capacity could create 13,000 new jobs across the sector and drive £17 billion of additional economic activity, while simultaneously cutting national carbon emissions by 21.2 million tonnes per year, or around 4.7%.

It is predicted by Wood Mackenzie, one of the global consulting companies, that the photovoltaic (PV) capacity in the Asia-Pacific Region, led by China, will reach 1,500 GW, with a 3-fold increase by 2030.

It is estimated that the share of total electricity capacity in solar energy will be 51% by 2030 in the top 10 solar energy markets of Asia Pacific.

Expressing that market barriers have been overcome with new policies in the region, Xin Zhang noted that the share of solar energy in Asia Pacific’s energy production will increase from 4% in 2020 to 10% in 2030.

The share of renewable energy that achieved lower costs than the most competitive fossil fuel option doubled in 2020, a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows. 162 gigawatts (GW) or 62 per cent of total renewable power generation added last year had lower costs than the cheapest new fossil fuel option.

Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2020 shows that costs for renewable technologies continued to fall significantly year-on-year.

The decade 2010 to 2020 saw renewable power generation becoming the default economic choice for new capacity. In that period, the competitiveness of solar (concentrating solar power, utility‑scale solar photovoltaic) and offshore wind all joined onshore wind in the same range of costs as for new capacity fired by fossil fuels, calculated without financial support. Indeed, the trend is not only one of renewables competing with fossil fuels, but significantly undercutting them, when new electricity generation capacity is required.
