The plant is forecast to produce up to 200GWh of electricity per year. The consent also provides for the future addition of a distributed battery energy storage system (BESS) on-site. Meridian chief executive, Mike Roan, said the consent was a positive step for both the company’s pipeline and the broader energy market. “It’s great to

It is built on China-headquartered Trinasolar’s n-type i-TOPCon Ultra cell technology, the same underlying platform used across the Vertex S+ G3 range launched in Europe earlier this year, which uses tunnel oxide passivated contact technology to improve charge collection and reduce energy losses at the cell surface. According to Trinasolar, the module delivers 24.7% efficiency
The Adamawa State Government has stepped up efforts to expand access to clean and reliable electricity, with the Ministry of Works and Energy Development, in partnership with the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), conducting an inspection of ongoing solar mini-grid projects in several rural communities across the state. The inspection team, led by the Director of

A recent study has renewed discussion about whether advanced extraterrestrial civilisations could leave detectable technosignatures within our own Solar System, including in the asteroid belt. In the paper, researcher Alex Ellery proposes on the possibility that non-human technology may already be embedded within largely unexamined regions of our own cosmic backyard. Interest in extraterrestrial life
