TotalEnergies ENEOS has commissioned a 2.5 MWp solar rooftop installation for Leading Indonesian Shoemaker and globally renowned sportswear brand PT Bintang Indokarya Gemilang. This is a long-term partnership where TotalEnergies ENEOS will finance, install, and operate the PV system, while PT Bintang Indokarya Gemilang will pay only for the electricity produced in the first 25 years without paying a single penny upfront. There are over 4,500 solar panels in the solar system. That produces around 3,740 MWh of renewable energy every year, which would be good for decreasing the carbon footprint of the manufacturer by around 3,030 tons of CO2…

Philippines saw a dramatic rise in investment, primarily in its RE projects in the first nine months of this year totaling to $24.29 billion-from January to mid-September. Of the total investment, $23.2 billion was allocated to Clean Energy projects, according to the Bureau of Investments (BOI). For the Philippines, renewable energy forms a mainstream source to stimulate the economy. As stated by the DOEl under recent policy reforms, such as repealing foreign ownership limits on most renewable energy initiatives, made way for more investment in this sector. Another part is the Green Energy Auction Program that “ensures transparent pricing and…
Experts are urging Vietnam to develop Battery Energy Storage Systems as the country accelerates towards renewable energy sources to guarantee energy security and sustainable development. “The institute under the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed that Battery Energy Storage Systems would be essential for integrating renewable energy into both power generators and the national grid,” says Institute of Energy under the Industry and Trade ministry. Vietnam’s eighth National Power Development Plan (PDP8) is also upbeat on energy storage and aims at 2,700 MW of energy storage capacity by the end of 2030, of which it envisions 2,400MW from pumped-storage hydropower…
