MNRE extends ALMM List-II exemption for net-metering and open access solar projects

MNRE stressed there would be “no change” to the government’s policy on implementing ALMM List-II for solar PV cells, reaffirming that the extension is limited to net-metering and open access renewable energy projects rather than all solar installations. Projects in these two categories commissioned on or before 31 December 2026 may continue using existing solar

Lodestone Energy begins work on 31.5MWp solar PV plant in New Zealand

The solar PV plant will feature 49,000 high-efficiency 640W modules from Chinese manufacturer Trina Solar. The electricity will connect directly into the Centralines distribution network, increasing locally produced generation for a region that has historically relied on power sourced from distant parts of the national grid. The project is expected to be operational by autumn

We’re Underestimating the Power of ‘One-in-a-Thousand-Year’ Solar Storms, NASA Warns

Cataclysmic solar storms may be rare, but they do happen. And unlike the legendary 1859 Carrington Event—which knocked out telegraphs across Europe and North America and dragged the Northern Lights down to Florida—some have happened recently enough to give us a sense of how modern electronics might fare. Solar radiation from 2003’s “Halloween Storms,” for
