Stora Enso and BayWa r.e. Partner on 1.2-GW Wind Power Push in Sweden
Stora Enso and BayWa r.e. have partnered to co-develop 1.2 GW of onshore wind capacity across Stora Enso-owned lands in Sweden. The agreement includes seven projects currently in early-stage development, supporting Sweden’s energy transition and Stora Enso’s land-use sustainability goals. The collaboration leverages BayWa r.e.’s renewable expertise and Stora Enso’s vast land resources to create locally integrated, low-impact wind farms. It reflects a strategic, long-term commitment to clean energy investment, community engagement, and technological innovation. Benefits include reducing carbon emissions, diversifying Sweden’s power supply, and delivering scalable, renewable power aligned with national and EU climate targets.
Servotech to invest in Rhine Solar, boosting India’s solar manufacturing capacity
India-based Servotech Power Systems will acquire a major equity stake in Rhine Solar, a domestic solar PV module manufacturer. The move supports India’s Make in India initiative and solar self-reliance strategy, as demand for indigenous solar components grows under national energy targets. Rhine Solar operates a 500-MW production facility, with plans for expansion. This strategic investment enables technology collaboration, vertical integration, and improved supply chain resilience. It reflects Servotech’s focus on customer-centric, clean energy solutions, driving innovation, reducing import dependency, and delivering cost-effective, high-quality solar modules — accelerating India’s transition to sustainable, homegrown solar infrastructure.
Cero Energia Commissions 48-MWp Agrivoltaic Park in Italy to Blend Solar and Farming
Cero Energia has commissioned a 48-MWp agrivoltaic solar park in the Puglia region of Italy, combining clean energy production with sustainable agriculture. The project supports Italy’s dual goals of decarbonization and rural development. By integrating elevated solar panels with crop cultivation, it preserves farmland while generating enough electricity to power approximately 33,000 homes annually. The plant uses advanced solar tracking and monitoring technology to optimize performance. Strategically aligned with EU Green Deal targets, the initiative highlights innovation in land use, promotes local engagement, reduces emissions, and ensures long-term benefits for both energy consumers and farming communities.
