Germany's Federal Network Agency awarded 32 projects totaling 480 MW in its latest innovation tender. Every winner was a solar plant paired with storage. Winning prices ran from €0.0450 to €0.0540 per kWh, averaging €0.0514. That is a market signal for co-located storage, not a quote for your warehouse roof.
JA has opened European pre-orders for JAPlanet Fusion, a 125 kW / 261 kWh DC-coupled cabinet that takes up to 250 kW of solar and claims a 10 ms switch to backup. An updated AC-coupled JAPlanet 2.0 sits beside it at the same 125 kW / 261 kWh rating. This is a product sheet for commercial sites, not a measured bill cut.
Malaysia has cut the grid fee on green power bought through CRESS to 14 sen per kWh for firm supply, from 20 sen. The deal comes with a 10-year minimum contract and a hard 31 December 2028 start-up deadline. On 7 October, solar builder Northern Solar booked a RM34m contract for a 9.5 MW plant and pointed to the cut as a source of more work.
Kenogamisis Energy, owned by four First Nations near Geraldton, Ontario, plans an 8.5 MW solar farm of up to 14,000 panels to supply Equinox Gold's Greenstone mine. Environmental approval typically takes 12 to 16 months and is about halfway done; construction could start in 2027. No price or contract terms are published.
