Finnish utility Fortum has begun development on an 80MW solar PV plant in Finland’s Virolahti municipality in the Southeast of the country bordering Russia. It will be Fortum’s first solar PV project in its home country.
Ecoppia, developer of fully autonomous, water-free PV panel cleaning solutions, has been chosen by Fortum to deploy its platform across multiple projects in India, totaling 427MW of production capacity.
Ahead of PV Tech launching its new PV IndiaTech conference, on 24-25 April 2019, in Delhi, I review in this blog what the event is all about, and why the timing of the event has turned out to be perfect as India debates how to create a sustainable manufacturing segment that supplies quality modules to its downstream segments.
A consortium of Finland's Fortum and Montenegro’s power utility, EPCG, has won a tender for the construction and operation of a PV project with an installed generation capacity of 250MW within the country, according to Montenegro’s economy ministry.
Finland’s Fortum has signed an agreement to sell a 54% share of its solar power company that operates four solar plants in India, with an aggregate capacity of 185MW, to UK Climate Investments (UKCI) (40%) and Elite Alfred Berg (14%).
Finland’s state-run power giant Fortum has won a competitive bid held by Helsinki-headquartered retailing cooperative S Group to set up around 10MW of solar PV capacity across 40 of its commercial buildings in Finland.
