Taiwan to revise environmental impact rules amid floating solar scrutiny
Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment (MoE) said it will revise its EIA standards for PV projects, following public scrutiny of floating solar development and online claims that countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, and South Korea already require environmental reviews prior to building such projects. In July, Typhoon Danas damaged floating solar installations in southern Taiwan, stoking public concern […]
Beyond energy independence: Backward integration as India’s edge
Countries reliant on imported minerals and components are rethinking energy strategies in solar, batteries, and green hydrogen. Securing upstream and midstream processes is no longer optional but essential for flexibility. India’s integrated approach across mining, processing, and manufacturing positions the country as a challenging player on the world stage.
Nearly half of solar capacity will be co-located with storage by 2060, says DNV
DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook 2025 report also predicts that distributed generation solar should begin outpacing utility-scale installations in some parts of the world by 2060. It adds that the levelized cost of electricity for solar is beginning to plateau and is expected to slow to an annual drop below 1% by the 2050s.
How India’s move to secure rooftop solar data with stricter inverter protocols will help to protect energy sovereignty
