French renewables firm GreenYellow has bought Grow Energy Management (GEM), acquiring its 120MW portfolio of PV projects in Portugal and Poland.
India’s energy sector is at a pivotal crossroads, reflective of a global narrative that pits the urgency of climate action against the inertia of established systems. The country’s pursuit of self-sufficiency in solar faces the headwinds of entrenched coal dependency and the fluctuating waves of international market forces. This juxtaposition forms the core of India’s energy paradox – the need for rapid industrial growth fuelled by coal, contrasted with the aspiration to lead in the renewables domain.
French manufacturing startup Carbon plans to launch the first part of its module production facility in autumn 2025, as part of a plan to bring 5GW of cell and 3.5GW of module manufacturing capacity to the European solar sector.
