UAE-based Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), an autonomous UAE institution, has funded a 6.3 MW solar power plant in Comoros with AED 25.7 million (~$ 7 million). The plant was inaugurated in April 2025 in Moroni to improve energy access and reduce fossil fuel reliance.
[pdf] The intelligent microgrid system, built in the Port of Lianyungang, consists of 5.2 MW of distributed photovoltaic power generation equipment, 5 MW of new energy storage facilities, battery-swapping container trucks, all-electric tugboats, electric front cranes, and empty container stackers, with the aim of achieving near-zero carbon emissions throughout the entire process of ship berthing, cargo handling and transportation, Science and Technology Daily reported on Wednesday.
[pdf] In 2011, The United States and Saudi Arabia jointly set up a solar-research station in Al-Uyaynah village. The village, located about 30 miles northwest of Riyadh, had no electric supply at the time. The station is operated by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology. The agency established an experimental assembly line at the site to manufacture solar panels. The equipment on the assembly line was import.
[pdf] The Port Authority of Bilbao in Spain has awarded a €11.48 million contract for the construction of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants, which will be integrated into the port's onshore power supply (OPS) system.
[pdf] That''s Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, until the 15 MW Honiara Solar Power Station began operations in 2023. This project isn''t just about panels and inverters – it''s rewriting the rules of energy independence for small island nations.
[pdf] The commercial operation of the solar power plants is projected to begin by June 1, 2028. The facilities will feature advanced photovoltaic panels, tracking systems, and comprehensive electrical infrastructure.
