Spain Launches Call For Access To 3.68 Gw Of Grid CapacityFrom pv magazine Spain
Spain's Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) has launched its first tender to allocate grid capacity at eight electricity transmission nodes in Andalusia, Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Country.
The total access capacity amounts to 3,681 MW and corresponds to nodes where major industrial developments have submitted requests.
These grid points are oversubscribed with applications from large consumers. Until now, each request was evaluated individually. Due to overloads at some nodes, a competitive process has been introduced. When grid operator Red Eléctrica de España (REE) receives a demand access request for a specific node, it publishes it on its website.
If additional requests are submitted within one month and available capacity is insufficient, the node is assigned to a tender among all interested parties who expressed interest during that period.
Applicants have one month to submit the required documentation. After review, which may include a report from REE, MITECO will resolve each tender within six months of the call. Developers must submit financial guarantees based on three criteria, amounting to €25/kW for each criterion. These guarantees will be returned once compliance is verified.
This is the first time demand access is allocated through a regulated tender using three evaluation criteria. The process marks a shift, giving preference to projects that reduce CO₂ emissions, such as electrifying industrial processes. After this initial criterion, projects will be scored based on investment size and expected commissioning timelines. The criteria include:
Emissions reduction (decarbonization impact)
Planned investment volume
Timeline for consumption start-up
The eligible nodes and available capacity are:
Arrigorriaga (Bizkaia) 400 kV – 993 MW
Brazatortas (Ciudad Real) 400 kV – 1,217 MW
Cristóbal Colón (Huelva) 220 kV – 503 MW
Francolí (Tarragona) 220 kV – 216 MW
Mercedes Benz (Vitoria) 220 kV – 387 MW
New Vigo 220 kV – 182 MW
Palos (Huelva) 220 kV – 277 MW
Terrer (Zaragoza) 400 kV – 410 MW

Chinese Pv Industry Brief: Zhejiang Bangjie Drops 18 Gw Factory PlanZhejiang Bangjie Holding Group has announced the termination of its large-scale PV manufacturing project in the Jiangshan Economic Development Zone, citing changes in the solar market environment. The project, launched in 2023, was planned to include annual production of 16 GW of high-efficiency n-type solar cells and 16 GW of large-size silicon wafer slicing capacity. The total planned investment stood at CNY 8 billion ($1.10 billion), with the first phase accounting for CNY 6 billion and the second for CNY 2 billion. Under an agreement with local authorities, the company will pay CNY 15 million in compensation to the local government to address the impact of the cancellation.
Arctech Solar has signed a deal with Shanghai Electric for the Sadawi solar project in eastern Saudi Arabia, with a planned capacity of 2.3 GW over a 40 square km desert site. The project will exclusively deploy Arctech’s Skyline II tracker system, engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 55 m/s and integrate with high-efficiency bifacial modules and robotic cleaning systems. Arctech expects the project to generate more than 6 TWh of clean electricity per year, or enough to power over 700,000 households.
The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association said six manufacturers signed new polysilicon orders this week. N-type reprocessed polysilicon traded at CNY 40,000 to CNY 48,000 per ton, with an average price of CNY 41,700, up 12.4% from last week. N-type granular polysilicon rose 15.17% to an average of CNY 41,000 per ton. With domestic monthly demand around 110,000 metric tons and August production expected to match, the industry faces no immediate inventory pressure. The association expects prices to stabilize as downstream supply-demand conditions improve. It also recorded sharp increases in wafer prices across all major specifications. N-type G10L wafers (182×183.75mm, 130μm) surged 22.09% to CNY 1.05 per piece. N-type G12R wafers (182 mm × 210 mm, 130 μm) rose 15.00% to CNY 1.15, while G12 wafers (210 mm ×210 mm, 130 μm) climbed 13.45% to CNY 1.35. Analysts linked the gains to upstream silicon price hikes and easing oversupply concerns. Prices are now beginning to transmit downstream, with several cell and module manufacturers reportedly preparing to raise their prices.

Germany Deploys 7.1 Gw Of Solar In H1From pv magazine Germany
Germany deployed approximately 905 MW of new PV capacity in June, according to Bundesnetzagentur. The total fell from 1,146 MW in May and 1,449 MW in June 2024.
Rooftop systems accounted for 439 MW of the new capacity installed in June, while ground-mounted projects contributed 319 MW. The remainder came from other system types.
During the first half of 2025, cumulative PV installations reached around 7.1 GW, down from roughly 8 GW in the same period last year.
More than 3.23 GW was connected to the grid in January and February, prior to the implementation of the “Solar Peak Act.” The legislation, in force since March, eliminates compensation for PV system operators during hours of negative spot market electricity prices. There were 389 such hours in the first half of 2025.
Germany’s total installed PV capacity now stands at 107.37 GW.
