There are now 14 renewable energy projects in Australia that are being developed in partnership with First Nations indigenous communities, according to new figures from the First Nations Clean Energy Network (FNCEN).
Many large solar PV projects cross over First Nations land, and the representative body the First Nations Clean Energy Network (FNCEN) says that “proper and meaningful engagement with First Nations will be essential for the success of the renewable energy sector.”
UK-headquartered renewables developer Ethical Power has entered the Italian solar PV market with plans for a 250MW project pipeline and a new country manager, Francesca Cavallini.
PV Tech Power Editors JP Casey and John Lubbock and Reporter George Heynes caught up with several experts to talk about the skills shortage in the solar industry in the UK and abroad and how this growing industry is approaching the issue.
Adequate training and employing people with different skills are some areas US solar companies are working on, as these are crucial to driving the solar industry to succeed.
