State-owned Niger Electricity Co. is seeking consultants to carry out feasibility, environmental and social impact studies for the construction of a 60 MW solar plant with storage. The project will be built in the town of Tahoua, western Niger. [pdf]
In this paper, we describe results of a research project conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and First Solar to develop controls and demonstrate many use cases for PV-BESS systems, including (1) matching generation to load through time shifting, by reducing PV curtailment; (2) promoting higher levels of PV penetration by balancing the grid through ancillary services; (3) using PV-BESS systems to provide wide-area stability services in the form of oscillation damping controls; and (4) using gird-forming BESS to enable black-start and islanded applications for PV-BESS systems.

MUSCAT: A new solar PV based Independent Power Project (IPP), set to come up at Ibri in Al Dhahirah Governorate, is expected to be integrated with utility-scale battery storage in a first for Oman’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector. [pdf]
Recently, the Mexican Ministry of Energy announced a new regulation mandating that all newly built wind and solar PV projects must be equipped with energy storage systems accounting for at least 30% of their capacity, with a minimum storage duration of three hours. [pdf]
The Major Solar Projects List is a database of all ground-mounted solar projects, 1 MW and above, that are either operating, under construction or under development. The list is for informational purposes only, reflecting projects and completed milestones in the public domain. .
SEIA makes major solar project data available to the public through the map below. SEIA members have exclusive access to the list as a sortable, searchable MS Excel file that is. .
SEIA does not guarantee that every identified project will be built. Like any other industry, market conditions may impact project economics and timelines. SEIA will remove a project if it is publicly announced that it has been canceled. SEIA actively. [pdf]
The El Jaguar photovoltaic plant, a 16 MW solar facility located in Malpaisillo, Nicaragua, has begun supplying electricity to the national grid. It features nearly 40 bifacial solar panels along with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), making it the country’s first of its kind. [pdf]
The Project involves the construction and 25-year operation of a new power plant in Manatuto, Timor-Leste, comprising a 72 MW solar power plant co-located with a 36 MW/36 MWh battery energy storage system. This will be the country’s first full-scale renewable energy IPP project. [pdf]
The projects, totaling 1,068 MW, were selected through the company’s 2023 Clean and Renewable Energy Subscription (CARES) request for proposals, part of the utility’s 2022 integrated resource plan. Each facility will be built and operated by third-party developers under long-term PPAs. [pdf]
China Communications Construction Co. has begun building the 70 MW Enesolar-3 solar plant in Nicaragua, which will supply power to state water utility Enacal and cover about 40% of its electricity needs. The PV project is the largest in the country to date. [pdf]
