Amid the economic challenges posed by Covid-19, Portugal announced a EUR 9.2 billion stimulus package in March 2020. This encompassed various measures, including expediting permits and grid connections for 2. [pdf]
In a bold announcement, Portugal recently surpassed its entire solar output from 2023 by September 2024, celebrating a record year for solar energy production. According to REN (Rede de Energia Nacional), the country generated more than 3.99 TWh of solar energy in just the first nine months, exceeding last year's total of 3.6 TWh.
On 9 October 2021, the largest solar power plant in Portugal was inaugurated in Alcoutim. With an installed capacity of 219 MW, the power plant has 661,500 solar panels and can power the needs of 200,000 homes. It occupies an area of 320 hectares and will prevent the emission of 326,000 tons of carbon dioxide every year.
At the end of 2020, solar power installed capacity totalled 1.03 GW and represented 3.6% of total power generation in 2020. Portugal has set a goal of between 8.1 GW and 9.9 GW in installed capacity by 2030. The Serpa solar power plant is an 11 megawatt plant covered 150 acres (0.61 km 2) and employs 52,000 PV panels.
The previous monthly record high was 49%, set in December 2021. Portugal’s record of 50% from wind and solar comes despite relatively modest wind generation. Strong deployment of solar capacity pushed solar generation to an all-time high of 360 GWh in April, significantly higher than the previous record of 300 GWh in July and August of 2022.
Renewable generation supplied 61% of the electricity consumption in Portugal in 2023, totalling 31.2 TWh, the highest-ever recorded value in the Portuguese national system. Wind power supplied 25% of the consumption in Portugal, hydropower contributed 23%, photovoltaics accounted for 7% and biomass for 6%.
Most of Portugal's electricity came from solar and wind last month, with fossil generation limited to 24%. - Copyright Canva Greater solar capacity got Portugal over the halfway mark, while Spain, Finland and Belgium are also breaking energy records.

1. Ditrolic Energy Ditrolic Energy is at the vanguard of Malaysia’s transition to sustainable energy, offering versatile Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solutions. These systems are not just stand-alone; they can be integrated with solar, wind, or microgrid setups, underpinning a future-proof energy strategy.
Overview of the progress and outlook of energy storage adoption on both new and second life energy storage in Malaysia. Potential benefits of energy storage in terms of economic cost or reliability within the Malaysian distribution network. Barriers and challenges on the deployment of energy storages within the Malaysian grid system.
Additionally, the repurposed EV battery can serve as a storage for residential homes integrated with photovoltaic (PV) or portable battery bank for EVs. Therefore, the prospect of second life energy storage in Malaysia could potentially grow with the advancement of EV technology in years to come. 3.
Recognizing the intermittent nature of renewable energy, particularly in Malaysia, the development of energy storage, especially BESS, is considered essential, and NETR identifies BESS as a key initiative .
In many cases, Malaysia can enhance its capability by promoting local resources and know-how in battery-manufacturing processes and critically, batteries’ terminal integration. In short, the race to the future of the battery industry has already begun. This is the overall picture of the progress and opportunities of Malaysia’s battery industry.
On the other hand, as a battery manufacturer, Malaysia needs to factor in the added responsibility of managing waste from battery usage and end-of-life properly. Forward integration along with a fitting policy are what the industry needs to address the usage of locally made batteries.

Evolution (years) of the solar photovoltaic installed capacity (MW) in Peru. Figure 21 shows that the first stage of solar PV energy in the country began in 2012, with strong growth from 2012 to 2023. 3.2. Solar PV Facilities Approved and under Construction in 2024
Finally, we can mention one of the most important technological advances applied in photovoltaic solar energy plants in Peru, the use of photovoltaic panels called bifacial solar panels. Bifacial solar panels can capture energy on both sides of the photovoltaic solar panel, whereas monofacial modules only receive energy on their front side .
Table 17 shows that there is a total of 33 solar photovoltaic facility projects planned to be executed in Peru between 2024 and 2028 Furthermore, it is possible to see that the projects are in the northern zone (Piura) and southern zone (Ica, Tacna, Moquegua, Puno and Arequipa) of Peru.
A promising large-scale advance of clean energy has been achieved in Peru through the under-functioning of solar PV facilities, but the implementation of solar energy on a smaller scale still needs to be promoted in remote communities in rural areas [21, 51].
The current progress of solar energy in Peru is incipient, so analysis of the solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities that are in operation and improvements and increases in the number of photovoltaic modules and total installed capacity is in progress (Figure 28).
These regions are part of the Coast Desert of Peru, in which nine photovoltaic solar energy plants are in operation in 2024. Also noteworthy are the northern regions of the country (i.e., Tumbes and Piura and part of the Sechura desert), which, despite their attractive solar resources, have not been used to date.
