Published: May 6, 2025 09:15

Polaris Solar PV Network learned that recently, foreign media reported that Nippon Energy, a Japanese PV EPC company, announced plans to establish a PV module manufacturing plant in Dubai with an annual capacity of 1 GW, which is intended to produce HJT PV modules.

To support this plan, Nippon Energy has recently acquired a PV module enterprise established in 2016 in Dubai.

It is reported that Nippon Energy is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, and primarily provides solar energy solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, with extensive business operations in the UAE and Pakistani markets. In the UAE market, the company also offers PV investment and leasing solutions.

Regarding the investment plan for the 1 GW PV module plant in Dubai, Nippon Energy stated that the project aligns with the UAE's vision and the COP28 initiative, demonstrating the company's firm commitment to sustainable development and its dedication to supporting the UAE's long-term environmental goals.

Denmark’s European Energy has completed the sale of its 90MW Cerano Energreen solar project in Brindisi, southern Italy. The ready-to-build project has secured all construction and grid permits and is backed by a 20-year Contract for Difference awarded under Italy’s FerX auction scheme. Once operational, the solar park is expected to generate around 160,000MWh annually, enough to supply about 55,000 Italian households. European Energy said the divestment aligns with its strategy of developing, maturing and selling renewable assets while recycling capital into new projects.

Spanish transmission system operator Red Eléctrica expects the solar eclipse on Aug. 12, 2026 to temporarily reduce PV generation on the Iberian Peninsula by about 5GW at its peak. The operator said the eclipse will occur when solar output is already naturally declining and is not expected to affect electricity demand coverage. However, it will implement preventive measures, including closer coordination with grid operators and authorities, increased operating reserves and continuous system monitoring. The eclipse is not expected to significantly affect PV generation in the Balearic or Canary Islands.
