The Ministry of Mining and Energy in Serbia has allocated a combined 645 MW of new solar and wind power capacity in its 2nd renewable energy auction round for market premiums through a contracts for difference (CfD) scheme. This round was oversubscribed with the offered quota of 424.8 MW capacity significantly exceeded.
At the first auctions, the wind quota was 400 MW while the one for photovoltaic projects amounted to 50 MW. There are seven applications in the wind power segment and 33 for solar power, At the first auctions there were nine and seven, respectively. Serbia changed both the price ceiling and the criterion for evaluating the bids.
The auction attracted seven applications for wind farm projects and 34 solar projects. The winning bids offered prices as low as EUR 50.9 (USD 53.28) per MWh for solar and EUR 53.5/MWh for wind, which are below current market levels and below those achieved in Serbia's first renewable energy auction in August 2023.
Forty applications were submitted for market premiums within the procedure for the second round of renewable electricity auctions in Serbia, Balkan Green Energy News learns. The call for wind and solar power projects was launched in late November and the deadline for applications expired on February 5.
When Hasan first looked into the possibility of using wind energy to generate electricity in Palestine in 1991, he came to the conclusion that areas with an elevation of 850 meters or more, including Ramallah and Jerusalem, have excellent energy potential . In some areas of the WB, wind energy may be produced at 0.07 $/kWh .
Palestine has some of the highest rate of solar water heating in the region, and there are a number of solar power projects. A number of issues confront renewable energy development; a lack of national infrastructure and the limited regulatory framework of the Oslo Accords are both barriers to investment.
Palestine's approach is to priorities high-emitting sectors such as, power generation (62 %), transport (15 %), and waste (23 %). The National Adaptation Plan is as: increase the share of renewable energy in electrical energy mix by 20–33 % by 2040, primarily from solar PV. Improve energy efficiency by 20 % across all sectors by 2030.
Over half of all households in Palestine utilise solar energy heaters, although only 3% of houses depend on it as their main source. A 710kw photovoltaic plant was commissioned in September, 2014 in the vicinity of Jericho; it is the largest plant in Palestine to date.
