The tender details state that the project will consist of a 42.5 MW solar plant alongside a battery energy storage system of 3 MW/4.5 MWh or higher.
Moldova is expected to launch a new tender for the construction of large renewable energy parks colocated with battery energy storage systems in October.
PowerChina has launched a 52 GW procurement plan for 2025, which includes solar modules, inverters, and 16 GWh of energy storage systems.
Lithuania has announced a EUR 102 million ($105 million) energy storage tender in a bid to procure balancing services to the transmission system operator and ensure the resilience of its grid. The
Norway’s poor lighting conditions, residential PV and energy storage development are limited, the future market may mainly focus on the outlying island microgrid. Spain will install 242 MW of energy storage in 2023 and is expected to increase to 5.8 GW by 2030.
However, growth assumes that electricity prices are low enough. Without new Norwegian electricity production, excluding the projects that are currently under development, high electricity prices will practically limit consumption growth to an estimated 25-30 TWh.
The development of electricity prices and power flow in Norway is influenced by both consumption and production in Norway, and by how the market and system develop in the Nordic region and Europe. In addition, the development in Europe has a significant impact on technology costs and the development of Norwegian industry and business activities.
This 13th edition of the “Snapshot of Global PV Markets” aims at providing preliminary information on how the PV market developed in 2024. The 30th edition of the PVPS complete “Trends in Photovoltaic Applications” report will be published in Q4 2025.
The increasingly large volumes of installed capacity are making a tangible contribution to electricity consumption around the world. The two principal PV markets, China and the Europe Union, demonstrate this with more than 13% each. In total, PV contribution amounts to over 10% of the electricity demand in the world.
At least 554.1 GW but perhaps as much as 601.9 GW1 of PV systems have been commissioned in the world last year. Countries2 in the IEA PVPS programme in 2024 covered 80% of annual and cumulative capacity – if India, who joined IEA PVPS from 2025 is included, this coverage increases to 85%.
