Trinasolar is expanding its Philippine offering to include both PV modules and utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) for solar-plus-storage projects. Trina Storage, a Trina Solar’s energy storage division, at the Manila seminar included speakers from the Department of Energy (DOE), DNV, S&P Global Energy, and other industry experts.As solar and wind capacity in the Philippines increases, grid operators and developers are placing greater focus on BESS that can support renewable integration, grid stability, and utility-scale project delivery. In particular, grid-forming BESS is gaining attention for its ability to regulate voltage and frequency without relying on grid signals.In response to…
GCL System Integration (GCL SI) joined partners and stakeholders at Getz Energy’s “Getz Energy Open House: Welcome to the Smart Energy Revolution” to explore trends in large-scale solar deployment and smart energy integration as Thailand accelerates renewable energy development.At the event, GCL SI and Getz Energy Company Limited (Getz), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Power Synergy Public Company Limited (GPSC), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) covering the planned supply of up to 1 GW equivalent of photovoltaic modules over the next three years, supporting the expansion of solar generation capacity in Thailand.The agreement aligns with GPSC’s long-term renewable energy…
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Energy Market Authority of Singapore (EMA) have renewed their memorandum of understanding (MOU) for another three years to support the development of cross-border energy projects in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including those exporting electricity to Singapore.Under the renewed MOU, ADB and the EMA will work together to address key barriers to scaling up the development of renewable energy generation and grid interconnector projects across Southeast Asia. Possible areas of cooperation include project bankability, risk allocation, complexities around technical aspects of subsea cable infrastructure, and financing. These efforts will help advance…
TotalEnergies, together with MK Land Holdings Berhad, a diversified group in Malaysia, has financially closed its 30 MWac (approx. 50 MWp) solar power plant located in Kulim, Kedah. The entire output of around 1.5 TWh of electricity will be sold under 21-year long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to major technology and industrial players in Malaysia. The Malaysian Energy Commission awarded the project in August 2023 under the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) to TotalEnergies (49%) and Solar Citra Sdn. Bhd. (51%) (subsidiary of M K Land) and would begin construction after the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. This reflects…
