Read on for your essential news briefing on June 3rd. 8 GW Solar PV Project In Inner Mongolia, China <a href='https://secure.meilleurmedia.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a85f64fd&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='https://secure.meilleurmedia.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=54&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=a85f64fd' border='0' alt='advertisement' /></a> China Three Gorges Renewables which runs the world’s largest Hydro project, the Three Gorges Dam, has announced a plan to build an 8GW solar PV project in Inner Mongolia, China. The project will be part of a proposed 21 GW energy giga project housing 4GW of wind, 4GW of coal-fired power and 5GWh of battery energy storage as well. Construction of the project will begin in September with a June 2027 target for energising. Electricity produced would be transferred to more populated regions of China including Beijing by an Ultra High Voltage transmission line. <a href='https://secure.meilleurmedia.com/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a23dad63&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='https://secure.meilleurmedia.com/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=17&source=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.saurenergy.com&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=a23dad63&ct0=INSERT_ENCODED_CLICKURL_HERE' border='0' alt='Advertisment' /></a> Thin Film Solar Manufacturer Midsummer Bags €8 million For Italian Plant Midsummer Moves Ahead With 200 MW Factory For Thin Film Cells In Sweden Also Read Swedish thin-film solar manufacturer Midsummer has secured about €8 million (US$8.6 million) to support the development of its 50MW copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film cell manufacturing plant in Italy. Midsummer Partners With SopraSolar For Solar Roof Product For Low-Load Bearing Roof Also Read The investment came from the Italian investment authority Invitalia. Midsummer has been stressing on the solar opportunity in Europe for roofs that cannot withstand the weight of regular silicon based solar panels. And hence the thin film opportunity for it. It is also planning a 200MW CIGS thin film cell factory in Flen, in Sweden. Midsummer has also received grants from the European Innovation Fund Trina Solar To Partner IES-UPM For Research Chinese module major Trina Solar has signed a collaboration agreement with the Institute of Solar Energy at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (IES-UPM) to drive innovation in the solar industry. China Starts Construction Of 16 GW Solar-Wind-Coal Power Complex Also Read The collaboration aims to innovate in multiple areas such as solar panel efficiency, the resilience and robustness of solar trackers and the improvement of solar energy management. Last year, Trina Solar allocated US$768 million to its R&D work, 19.7% more than in 2022. “This partnership will enable our R&D team to work closely with European academic talent, maintain our core competence, and provide more localised energy solutions to the European market,” said Helena Li, executive president of Trina Solar. Trina Solar has often ploughed its own innovation pathway, most recently pushing hard for wider adoption of the 210mm modules as standard sizes vis a vis the 182mm standard pushed by other majors including Jinko, LONGi and JA Solar.
