A new joint venture in Saudi Arabia has secured its first landmark deal to provide 2.25 GW of smart solar trackers for the Bisha Solar project. Nextpower Arabia, formed by Nextpower and Abunayyan Holding, will supply the equipment to Larsen & Toubro for the massive utility-scale plant in Asir Province. The move supports the Kingdom’s National Renewable Energy Program by shifting manufacturing and supply chain operations to local soil.
Blackstone Energy Transition Partners has agreed to acquire the American electrical manufacturer Arlington Industries. The deal, announced in late January, sees the global investment giant take control of a company with a 75-year history of producing fittings and enclosures. Arlington's products are central to the infrastructure of data centres and industrial facilities across the United States.
DRI has confirmed the completion of its 126 MWp Văcărești solar park in Romania, marking its fourth major renewable energy project in the country. This latest development pushes the company’s total operational capacity in Romania to nearly 300 MWp within just three years. The facility is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power roughly 50,000 homes while cutting carbon emissions by more than 48,000 tonnes annually.
PowerBank Corporation has announced the commercial operation of its first 1.45-megawatt rooftop solar project in Calgary, Alberta. Developed for Fiera Real Estate, the project serves as a pilot for future renewable energy initiatives within Fiera’s global portfolio. The installation will sell power to the local grid while generating carbon offsets through provincial environmental systems.
Repsol has agreed to sell a 43.8 per cent stake in its 629 MW Outpost solar project in Texas to infrastructure investment firm Stonepeak for $252.5 million (€220 million). The transaction implies a total asset valuation of approximately $775 million (€675 million), which includes tax equity proceeds from Production Tax Credits. This deal represents Repsol's second use of an asset rotation strategy in the US renewables market to optimise its financial structure and attract strategic partners.
Vietnam has inaugurated its first LNG power plants, Nhon Trach 3 and 4, in Dong Nai Province. Built by Petrovietnam at a cost of USD1.4 billion, the 1,624 MW twin plants will generate over nine billion kWh annually to stabilise the national grid, particularly in the south. Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated the project is crucial for national energy security, supporting the country's rapidly growing demand from high-tech sectors.
