Floating solar power plants have gone from a super niche sector of the solar market in 2012 and 2013 to a pretty popular option in 2020. It’s still not anywhere near as mature as on-land utility-scale solar power, though, so it seems sensible to pull the industry together and collect useful tips and experience for a set of recommended practices.
The Swiss Post and the Austrian Post have both committed to converting their significant delivery fleets to 100% electricity by 2030 in a move that puts more pressure on automakers to step up to the challenge of building functional, affordable electric vehicles for fleet operators as well as normal customers.
Portugal’s largest electricity utility, EDP, has received the seal of approval from the Science Based Targets Initiative on the company’s target to reduce its carbon footprint across its entire value chain.
The Madrid-based renewable energy giant EDP Renovaveis is currently in the early stages of developing a new 30 MW solar PV power plant project to be located in San Bernardino County in California. The project — which represents the Spanish engineering group’s most recent move into the American market — … [continued]
