[SMM PV News] EU Approves €500M Cleantech Scheme for Luxembourg

In late March 2026, the Philippine DOE mandated the expedited grid integration of 22 renewable energy projects (1,471 MW) by April 2026 to mitigate fossil fuel price volatility stemming from Middle East conflicts. This emergency deployment is heavily concentrated in solar PV, with 12 projects accounting for a dominant 1,284 MW of the total capacity.

Premier Energies Ltd has started trial production at its 5.6 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Seetharampur, Telangana, producing G12R TOPCon modules with zero-busbar ('0BB') architecture. This new 75-acre factory boosts the company's total module capacity beyond 10 GW. The highly automated plant can produce up to four modules every 16 seconds and uses 'AI'-powered fault detection. Company executives highlighted the facility's role in scaling integrated manufacturing and supporting India's clean energy goals. Premier Energies is also executing a $1.38 billion capital expenditure plan over three years to double its capacity, expand into ingots and wafers, and diversify into inverters and battery systems.

AGEL has successfully commissioned 951 MW of renewable energy capacity across two locations in India: Baiya, Rajasthan (251 MW) and Khavda, Gujarat (700 MW). The newly commissioned portfolio consists of 926 MW of solar and 25 MW of hybrid projects, executed through various step-down subsidiaries. Following the receipt of all necessary clearances, the plants officially commenced commercial operations and power generation on March 30. With the integration of these new facilities, AGEL's total operational renewable generation capacity has now expanded to 18,933.3 MW.
