Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Belectric, SunHydrogen, CTF Solar, Release, and others.
Belectric Secures 210-MWp UK Solar EPC Contract
Belectric has won an EPC contract for a 210-MWp solar project in the UK, strengthening its footprint in one of Europe’s fastest-growing utility-scale solar markets. The agreement covers engineering, procurement, and construction services, advancing a large-scale scheme that will contribute significantly to the UK’s renewable energy capacity. The award reflects continued investment momentum in British solar, supported by stable policy mechanisms and strong demand for low-carbon power. Once operational, the project will generate clean, cost-competitive electricity, supporting energy security and emissions reduction goals. For Belectric, the contract bolsters its order book and reinforces its expertise in delivering complex, large-scale solar installations. The deal underscores the ongoing expansion of utility-scale solar infrastructure as part of the UK’s broader energy transition strategy.
SunHydrogen Selects CTF Solar to Manufacture Solar Hydrogen Panels
SunHydrogen has chosen Chinese-owned CTF Solar as its manufacturing partner for next-generation solar hydrogen panels, advancing efforts to commercialise its renewable hydrogen technology. The collaboration will focus on scaling production of SunHydrogen’s proprietary panels designed to generate green hydrogen directly from sunlight and water. The partnership represents a strategic step toward cost-effective, large-scale hydrogen production, leveraging CTF Solar’s manufacturing expertise and established supply chain. For the clean energy sector, the technology offers potential to reduce hydrogen production costs while supporting decarbonisation across industry and transport. The move highlights growing global investment in green hydrogen innovation, positioning SunHydrogen to accelerate product development and market entry as demand for sustainable fuel alternatives continues to rise worldwide.
Release to Build 21-MW Solar Farm for Sandfire in Botswana
Energy developer Release will build a 21-MW solar farm to supply power to Sandfire’s mining operations in Botswana, advancing renewable integration in the country’s resource sector. The project will provide dedicated clean electricity to the mine, reducing reliance on grid and fossil-fuel-based generation. The solar installation is expected to lower operating energy costs and carbon emissions, supporting Sandfire’s sustainability and decarbonisation goals. For Botswana, the development contributes to expanding utility-scale solar capacity and diversifying the national energy mix. The project also reflects a growing trend of mining companies adopting on-site renewable energy solutions to improve energy security and meet ESG commitments. The initiative underscores the role of corporate-backed solar projects in accelerating Africa’s clean energy transition and industrial sustainability.
