Renewable energy recipes: How PV projects are really developed

I am starting a series on recipes for procedures to support Asian countries in developing Renewable Energies. Along the many years of consultancy in Asia and elsewhere in the planet developing Renewable Energy projects I have come across the symptomatic question: “no one helps us to develop renewable energy projects. What can we do?” This question has been less frequent, but even after 200GW of solar projects and 400GW of wind projects across the world, it is still present in some countries, states and regions and I heard it a few days ago again. The recipe for PV projects has three basic ingredients:

Sunseap gets US$10.6m loan for solar projects in Singapore

This includes the world's largest solar PV system installed in a port.

Why tiny Singapore's solar energy sector can't go big despite technological lead

There is an increasing levels of solar penetration that will cut into peak demand even though no capacity is needed.

ADB approves US$9.2m loan for Sunseap's solar project in Cambodia

It will be Cambodia first large-scale solar project.

Jindal, from Energy Studies Institute, will speak about "intermittency".

Will Singapore's power sector bear the brunt of its carbon tax?

Earlier this year, the Singapore government announced that it will impose a tax on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from 2019. The tax amount, which is yet to be finalized, will lie in the range of S$10 to S$20 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The imposition of a price on carbon emissions is key to the overall strategy of achieving Singapore’s emission reduction target under the Paris Agreement on climate change.

It will be on April 25 at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore.

Sunseap inks Singapore's largest town council solar project

The PV system will generate up to 14GW of solar energy.

Green power investments down 23% to $241.6b

This is due to dropping costs of renewables equipment.

Building the business case for hydropower companies to employ more women

Hydropower is traditionally a male-dominated field. This is not to say that female engineers, hydrologists, plant managers, or even CEOs do not exist. They do. But globally, women are grossly underrepresented in the hydropower field. Further, even when present, their talent is more often underutilized. This must change; simply because there is a business case to integrate more women into the hydropower-industry workforce.

Over a third of hiring managers in energy sector laid off more than 20% of staff

Employers in North America and Asia made the heaviest staffing cutback.

Oil & gas firms pressured to boost renewables portfolio

As confidence in the sector spiraled down to just 30%.

These are the investment hotspots in Asian energy sector

Renewable energy assets still lure investors in.
