Enlight Secures Financing for Gecama Wind-Solar Hybrid Project in Spain
Enlight Renewable Energy has secured €293 million in financing for the hybridisation of its Gecama project in Spain, combining wind and solar generation. The strategy supports diversified renewable output and improved energy dispatchability. The hybrid system will include a 155 MW solar PV addition to the existing 312 MW wind farm. Technology focus is on integrating solar with existing wind infrastructure using shared grid connections. The investment is backed by a consortium of banks. Customer focus includes utilities and corporate buyers seeking stable green power. Innovation lies in co-locating technologies to maximise site efficiency. Benefits include cost savings, enhanced grid use, and consistent renewable supply.
Actis-Backed Nozomi Acquires 10 Solar Farms in Japan
Nozomi Energy, backed by Actis, has acquired a portfolio of 10 operational solar farms in Japan with a combined capacity of 38 MW. The assets are spread across central and southern Japan and come with feed-in-tariff (FiT) agreements. The strategy focuses on expanding Nozomi’s footprint in Asia’s clean energy sector by acquiring operating assets with stable revenue. Investment terms were not disclosed. Technology involves existing PV systems under the FiT scheme. Customer focus includes institutional investors and utilities. Innovation is in portfolio aggregation for operational efficiency. Benefits include immediate cash flow, enhanced regional presence, and contribution to Japan’s renewable targets.
Sungrow Powers inverters for 5.5 MW solar PV plant in Norway
Sungrow has supplied inverters for a 5.5 MW solar PV plant located in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway — one of the northernmost large-scale solar projects globally. The strategy targets energy diversification in remote, diesel-dependent Arctic communities. Technology focus includes Sungrow’s SG250HX and SG350HX string inverters, optimized for harsh climates and limited sunlight. Investment details were not disclosed. The plant will reduce diesel use, enhance grid resilience, and lower emissions. The project’s innovation lies in operating efficiently under Arctic conditions. The customer focus is on local utilities and communities. Benefits include decreased fuel dependency, lower energy costs, and demonstration of solar feasibility in extreme environments.
