March also reached 4.7TWh, though growth was more modest at 2% year-on-year. A month earlier, Australia’s solar and wind fleet reached 5TWh, a peak driven by strong summer solar irradiance and wind output across multiple states. Image: Rystad Energy. Victoria led all states in May for combined utility solar and wind generation, producing 1,218GWh, comprising
The Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA), with support from the German government and the European Union (EU), on Tuesday inaugurated the national guidelines for interconnecting solar mini-grids to distribution networks in Abuja. The initiative, implemented through the Nigerian Energy Support Programme (NESP), is expected to strengthen Nigeria’s growing mini-grid market, improve electricity access and

According to the United Nations, 2.2 billion people still do not have access to safely managed drinking water. To help meet growing demand, many regions, from California to parts of the Middle East, rely on desalination plants that convert seawater into fresh water. Traditional desalination methods such as reverse osmosis and thermal distillation can be
