[SMM Photovoltaic: India's Uttar Pradesh YEIDA Zone Adding Combined 7GW of Solar Manufacturing Capacity] Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently handed land allotment letters to 17 companies in the YEIDA region, with two large-scale solar manufacturing projects drawing particular market attention.
CESC Green Power Ltd. will establish a 3GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility on approximately 100 acres, with a total investment of around ₹3,805 crore. Integrated Batteries India Pvt. Ltd. will set up a 4GW solar cell manufacturing facility on approximately 25 acres, with an investment of approximately ₹1,146 crore. Together, the two projects add a combined 7GW of new solar manufacturing capacity.
However, SMM believes that India is expected to remain partially reliant on imported supply chains in the near term — particularly in polysilicon, wafers, and certain core manufacturing equipment, especially in upstream materials and high-end process machinery.

[Solar: Colombia awards 1.55GW of solar capacity in OEF auction]

Colombia’s system operator XM has completed its latest Firm Energy Obligations auction, awarding 4.07GW of new net effective capacity for the period from Dec. 1, 2029 to Nov. 30, 2030. Solar accounted for 1.55GW, alongside 246MW of wind and 2.28GW of thermal capacity. A total of 77 out of 85 participating plants secured allocations, including 29 solar projects. Although solar represented nearly 38% of newly awarded capacity, it accounted for only 7.7% of total firm energy allocated, reflecting Colombia’s reliability charge mechanism, which favors technologies with higher dispatch firmness. SMM believes solar is gaining a stronger role in Colombia’s capacity market, but storage, hybridization and improved dispatchability will be key to strengthening project revenue stability.

[Solar: Paraguay launches tender for 140MW Loma Plata PV project]

Paraguay’s National Electricity Administration has launched a tender for the 140MW Loma Plata solar project in the Boquerón department. The plant will connect to the national grid through the 220kV Loma Plata substation, with the scope covering engineering, construction, operation and maintenance of both the solar plant and related transmission infrastructure. The project, supported by the World Bank, is the first concrete step under Paraguay’s new renewable energy framework, Law No. 7599/2025. SMM believes the law’s provisions for up to 30-year renewable PPAs and storage-related mechanisms could help unlock future solar and solar-plus-storage development in Paraguay.
