Technical due diligence and engineering services company Clean Energy Associates (CEA) has announced a new partnership with UK-based engineering company 2DegreesKelvin.

Across England and Wales, six community solar farms have generated £60,000 of surplus profit that will be used to support their local communities.

The renewable energy business is realigning its operations, and has also made two senior hires.

Solar Energy UK has lent its weight to calls for renewable deployment targets as part of “urgent action” needed to decarbonise Britain’s grid.

The UK’s largest community-owned solar park has confirmed that it’s fully funded, thanks in part to a loan from Triodos Bank UK.

Work has started on a new solar farm on the site of a former landfill that is to form part of the Bedford Green Technology and Innovation Park.

Aberla Energy has delivered a contract to design, supply and install a 50kWp rooftop-mounted solar PV system for Herefordshire Council.

Last year, renewable capacity additions were up by 45% globally to almost 280GW, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The next Contracts for Difference auction will open to applications in December 2021.

Solar Power Portal caught up with Open Climate Fix co-founder Dr Jack Kelly – a former engineer at Google DeepMind – to discuss where transformer models came from, how they can apply to solar forecasting and how they could change the energy sector.
