Egypt gets its first large integrated solar PV and battery storage plant — a 1.1 GW solar PV plant with integrated 200 MWh battery will deliver dispatchable clean energy, enhance grid stability, and manage peak demand. JUWI and JA Solar sign 420,000-panel deal for 220 MW Glencore and Sasol/Air Liquide … [continued]
The South African solar industry has been on a roll over the last couple of years. Utility-scale plants were getting a lot of interest starting about 10 years ago due to South Africa’s well respected Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). The program was the main driving force … [continued]
The Eramet Grande Côte Mine 20 MWp solar and 11 MWh battery project will provide clean energy to meet 20% of the mine’s energy needs and reduce carbon emissions by 25,000 tonnes annually. The mining sector is one of the most energy intensive sectors. Big mines can be located close … [continued]
The RustMo1 Solar Project, the first renewable energy project developed under South Africa’s large renewables tender program — the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producers Procurement Programme (REI4P) — is celebrating 10 years of clean energy production. The 7 megawatt (MW) project has been generating around 12.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity … [continued]
JUWI Renewable Energies, a leading global solar, wind, and hybrid project developer, engineering, procurement & construction (EPC) and operations and maintenance company, recently announced that it now has 400 MW of EPC projects in advanced stages of development for mines in South Africa. The news follows the financial close of … [continued]
JUWI reports high demand for large renewables, driven by the energy crisis and the country’s climate commitments. JUWI now has over 4 GW of wind, solar, and hybrid projects in various stages of development for large private and public energy users. JUWI Renewable Energies, a leading global solar, wind, and … [continued]
Power uptime is critical for big mines and other energy intensive industries. As some of these energy intensive energy industries can be located in places that are far from the grid or in places with weak and intermittent grids, they generally have a fleet of large thermal (heavy fuel oil … [continued]
The mining sector is one of the most energy intensive sectors. Big mines can be located close to the grid and hence have access to the grid. However, in some places, electricity from the grid may not always be available, especially in areas with weak and intermittent grids. A lot … [continued]
Matthias, you’ve been actively founding companies in renewable energy for 25 years. When you look back to founding juwi, what were your expectations and motivations then, and how did they develop over time? I was fascinated by the idea of generating energy from the power of nature – especially with … [continued]
The German renewable energy firm Juwi is now working to build 3 new utility-scale solar energy projects in the US state of Colorado, according to recent reports. The 3 solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in question — being developed through the company’s US-based subsidiary — will possess a total combined nameplate … [continued]
