An irrigation district in California's Central Valley region has installed arrays of solar panels atop a series of canals to demonstrate how such systems can generate electrical power and, through shading, reduce the loss of water from evaporation.
The Solomon Islands Renewable Energy Development Project plans to finance new solar farms in Guadalcanal and Malaita provinces, along with a utility-scale grid-connected energy storage system in Honiara, the country's capital. It will also support a pilot for rooftop solar at two.
This review article discusses the recent developments in energy storage techniques such as thermal, mechanical, electrical, biological, and chemical energy storage in terms of their utilization.

By 2026, the latest solar panel technology in India will include high-efficiency n-type panels, perovskite-silicon tandem cells, bifacial modules, flexible solar sheets, and smart solar panels integrated with AI and IoT.
The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has unveiled its first-ever Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to power its modular data centre in Nairobi.
Installed utility-scale solar capacity now exceeds the individual capacities of wind, hydropower, and nuclear power. Further, FERC expects solar to add another 86 gigawatts (GW) over the next three years, during which time solar capacity will also surpass that of coal.
This article fully explores the differences and complementarities of various types of wind-solar-hydro-thermal-storage power sources, a hierarchical environmental and economic dispatch model for the power system has been established.
In early lab trials, a team in Denmark turned common cement into a “living” energy device used for buildings, walls, and bridges. The material stores power and can regain performance after it is fed nutrients, even after periods of dormancy during simple maintenance cycles.
ADB has signed a transaction advisory services agreement with Samoa's Electric Power Corporation (EPC) to support the development of a solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems with installations planned for the country's two largest islands, Upolu and Savai'i.
