The Department of Energy (DOE) of the Government of the Philippines has issued the Notice of Auction and the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the fifth round of the Green Energy Auction (GEA-5). The auction marks the country’s first competitive process dedicated exclusively to fixed-bottom offshore wind projects. The round offers 3,300 MW to be delivered between 2028 and 2030. The ToR detail the requirements, evaluation procedures, and submission timelines for developers.
The ToR includes several refinements. Only fixed-bottom offshore wind will be eligible, based on port and grid readiness. The supply delivery period is set at 20 years, with green energy tariff (GET) payments commencing at commissioning and wholesale electricity spot market registration mandatory. It introduces an expanded offshore wind infrastructure plan addressing grid connection, port usage, logistics, and key development milestones. It also specifies port access rules, queuing orders, and associated penalties in case of delays. Moreover, the ToR outlines updates to the bid bonds, performance guarantees, and GET entitlement rules. Additionally, lender step-in rights for project financing and continuity have also been incorporated.
The GEA-5 adopts a milestone-based process that links project development with government actions related to grid studies, port preparation, permitting, and construction. Coordination with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), National Transmission Corporation (TransCo), and port authorities is expected, with successful bidders to receive priority for facility studies, renewable energy purchase agreements, grid-connection arrangements, and port scheduling. Pambujan port in Camarines Norte and Sta. Clara port in Batangas have been identified as the installation ports, with guidance to be provided for developers opting for private port use. The developers are now expected to prepare registration documents including wind resource assessment and infrastructure plans, with the DOE set to announce the pre-bid conference and registration schedule on its website.

Uk Adds 1.9 Gw Of Solar In 12 MonthsA flurry of utility-scale solar projects helped increase UK deployed capacity by almost 2 GW in the 12 months to the end of October 2025, including the connection of the 373 MW Cleve Hill Solar Farm in July 2025 – the largest operational UK solar farm to date.
Deployment statistics from the UK government are provisional and subject to revision, but the latest data reveals 111 MW of new capacity was added in October 2025 across 25,470 installations. It brings the total capacity added in in the first 10 months of the year to 1.78 GW, compared to 2.12 GW for the same period in 2024, however the 2025 figure is likely to be revised as new data becomes available.
Most PV installations in the United Kingdom are domestic, however these account for just 30% of total capacity. As of the end of October 2025, at least 40% of UK solar capacity – 8.2 GW – came from ground-mounted or standalone solar installations accredited under the UK Renewables Obligation (RO), feed-in tariff or CfD schemes. Half of unaccredited capacity is believed to be ground mount, meaning this type of installation accounts for roughly 58% of UK total capacity.
Large-scale projects include 18 operational solar farms accredited under the government-backed Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, 16 of which came online in 2025. In its deployment statistics commentary, the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) said it expects that number to increase.
The pipeline of utility-scale solar projects granted planning permission through the government’s Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) process has grown significantly since July 2024, with Energy Minister Ed Miliband signing off on the construction of gigawatts of new capacity.
DESNZ’s latest deployment statistics release follows a UK Budget that shifted some of the financial burden of historic utility-scale deployment from domestic bill payers to the government coffers. Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced on Nov. 26 that from April 2026 the government will cover three quarters of the cost of the Renewables Obligation charge currently applied to household electricity bills via general taxation for a three-year period..
Launched in 2002 and open for applications until 2019, the RO scheme supported early UK renewables deployment. The latest DESNZ data shows 7.4 GW of solar accredited under the RO scheme.
Solar Energy UK Chief Executive Chris Hewett welcomed the change, which is expected to result in a saving of roughly GBP 100 ($132) per year for an average UK household.
“Reform of the renewables obligation is both a welcome and expected move by the Chancellor,” Hewett said in a statement. “Together with the rising proportion of power coming from cheap solar and other renewables sources, plus reform to the electricity markets, we can expect bills to fall further in the coming years.”
The UK government has extended its consultation on how payments under RO and the previous feed-in-tariff regime are adjusted for inflation in the future. Industry stakeholders have until Dec. 2, 2025, to submit their views.

India Posts Record 4.9 Gw Of Rooftop Solar Additions In First Nine Months Of 2025From pv magazine India
India added a record 4.9 GW of rooftop solar capacity in the first nine months of calendar year 2025, around 157% up year over year from 1.9 GW installed in the same period of 2024. With this, the nation reached 18.6 GW of cumulative rooftop solar capacity as of Sept. 30, 2025, according to Mercom India’s Q3 2025 India Rooftop Solar Market Report.
India installed 2.1 GW of rooftop solar capacity in the third quarter of 2025, marking the highest quarterly additions to date. This represents more than 165% year-over-year growth from 791.1 MW in the third quarter of 2024.
The PM Surya Ghar initiative remained the dominant contributor in the third quarter, making up 73% of rooftop solar installations. The industrial segment accounted for nearly 20% of the quarter’s installations. The commercial and government segments accounted for nearly 6% and more than 1% of quarterly additions, respectively.
Rooftop solar capacity additions under the capital expenditure model accounted for 84% of the third-quarter installations.
“Like utility scale, rooftop installations in the first nine months of the year have already surpassed all of last year’s additions,” said Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group. “Residential installations, which made up only a third of rooftop solar three years ago, now account for 75% of the market. We expect this trend to continue until the PM Surya Ghar target is reached. The awareness created by the program is also likely to influence smaller C&I customers and encourage them to go solar. To keep this momentum on track, quality control in residential systems and persistent cost and supply challenges will need ongoing attention from the policymakers.”
Uttar Pradesh led the nation’s rooftop solar additions, accounting for 16% of installations in the quarter. Maharashtra and Gujarat ranked second and third, respectively, accounting for more than 15% and 14% of quarterly capacity additions.
Assam posted the highest compounded quarterly growth rate of more than 35% between the third quarters of 2024 and 2025.

Nipsco To Supply 3 Gw To Amazon Data Centers In Northern IndianaA Northern Indiana Public Service Co. affiliate — called NIPSCO Generation, or GenCo — plans to build up to 3 GW of gas-fired generation and battery storage to serve planned Amazon data centers, the companies said Monday. Combined with electric transmission to be built by NIPSCO, the companies expect to spend about $7 billion.
Under the arrangement, GenCo plans to build two 1.3-GW gas-fired power plants and a 400-MW, 4‐hour battery storage system to serve the data centers, according to filings at the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. In comparison, NIPSCO expects its non-data center load in 2028 will be about 2.3 GW.
The IURC on Nov. 19 reaffirmed a September decision to approve the GenCo framework, which is designed to ensure that NIPSCO’s existing customers don’t pay for infrastructure needed to serve hyperscalers like Amazon. Under the framework, GenCo will own and operate power plants for large load customers.
NIPSCO, a NiSource subsidiary, expects its 15-year deal with Amazon will produce about $1 billion in savings for its ratepayers. Those savings will be reflected as a credit on customers’ electric bills, according to a Nov. 7 filing by NIPSCO and NIPSCO Generation at the IURC. Residential customers will receive roughly $7 in monthly savings, according to the utility.
The companies have asked the IURC to approve a “special contract” and a power purchase agreement for the arrangement with Amazon. The filings at the IURC don’t name Amazon, but the details such as capacity, capital expenditure amounts and ratepayer savings match Monday’s announcement.
The contract calls for NIPSCO to begin providing power and capacity to Amazon data centers by Jan. 1, 2027, with deliveries climbing up to 2.4 GW by the end of 2032, Vincent Parisi, NIPSCO president, chief operating officer and CEO, said in an IURC filing.
Under the arrangement, NIPSCO will buy the power to serve the Amazon data centers through a PPA with GenCo. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will also have to approve the PPA. GenCo plans to seek separate IURC approval for any generation it builds for Amazon.
The contract gives Amazon a one‐time option, by March 31, 2029, to reduce its total capacity by 1,200 MW, according to NIPSCO.
NIPSCO will build, own and operate transmission infrastructure needed to serve the Amazon data centers, according to the application. The costs for the transmission will be kept separate from the utility’s ratebase and not flow through to its existing customers, the utility said.
NIPSCO and GenCo asked the IURC to approve the special contract and PPA by May 6.
GenCo is in talks to supply up to 3 GW to additional data center customers, with another 3 GW of “developing opportunities,” NiSource said in an Oct. 29 investor presentation.
Citizens Action Coaltion is reviewing the proposal, with an eye toward ensuring that ratepayers won’t be harmed by the arrangement, according to Ben Inskeep, a program director at the advocacy group.
”We will vigorously advocate to protect residential customers from risks and ensure they see significant affordability benefits, rather than more rate hikes, with the addition of large load customers,” Inskeep said Tuesday in an email.
In the last two years, NIPSCO has increased residential bills by $77 a month for customers using 1,000 kWh, resulting in the highest electric bills in the state, Inskeep said.
Also, the 2.6-GW of gas-fired generation GenCo plans to build at its coal-fired Schahfer power plant site could produce nearly four times the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that the existing Schahfer coal plant emitted in 2023, according to Inskeep.
“It is outrageous that none of the electricity to serve the 2.4 GW of data center load will come from additional renewable energy or energy efficiency,” Inskeep said.

Japan’S Pv Module Shipments Hit 1.28 Gw As Residential Demand AcceleratesJapan’s solar module shipments hit 1.28 GW in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by a sharp rise in residential demand that pushed domestic deliveries to 1.273 GW, up 111% from a year earlier, according to the JPEA, a trade group representing Japanese solar manufacturers.
Residential PV installations jumped 126%, offsetting weaker growth in commercial systems, the JPEA said in its latest quarterly report.
Foreign manufacturers continued to dominate the market, supplying 828 MW, or 65% of total shipments, up 114% year on year.
Japanese suppliers shipped 452 MW, maintaining a 35% share. Production remained overwhelmingly offshore, with 95% of modules manufactured outside Japan, said the JPEA.
The non-residential segment delivered 900 MW, up 105%, including 490 MW for large-scale power generation and 410 MW for general commercial use. Overseas shipments remained marginal at 6.5 MW, roughly two-thirds of last year’s level.
Modules rated 300 W and above accounted for most of the volume, totaling 1.131 GW for the quarter.
Japanese companies shipped 445 MW domestically, with 241 MW for residential use, 80 MW for power generation, and 125 MW for commercial sites.
Foreign companies supplied 828 MW domestically, including 132 MW for residential, 411 MW for power generation, and 285 MW for commercial installations.
The overall pattern reflects continuing reliance on foreign manufacturing, strong residential demand, and steady growth in large-scale solar projects, with domestic shipments led by the Southeast region, said the JPEA.
Japan aims to accelerate its energy transition by expanding renewable capacity, improving grid flexibility, and integrating emerging technologies such as perovskite solar and green hydrogen. The government has launched two new subsidy schemes, offering up to 75% cost support for perovskite modules and storage, to hit its target of 20 GW of perovskite capacity by 2040, according to the Ministry of the Environment.

Georgia Power’S Large Load Pipeline Shrinks By 6 GwGeorgia Power’s pipeline of large load economic development projects shrank a net 6 GW from the second quarter to the third quarter to 50.9 GW due to projects that exited, the utility said in a Friday filing with the Georgia Public Service Commission.
Around 6.8 GW of new large load projects entered the pipeline, and projects in the pipeline increased their projected load by a total of 1.6 GW, while 14.3 GW of projects exited, Georgia Power said.
Georgia Power’s pipeline of near-term large load projects slated for winter of 2028 and 2029 decreased this quarter by 1.4 GW, to a total of 24.4 GW, the report said.
“Although the total and large load economic development pipelines have shrunk, the number of commitments to Georgia Power for electric service from large load customers have grown from 26 to 28,” Georgia Power said in the report.
Those two new commitments together account for 2.2 GW and bring the utility’s total commitments to 11 GW, the report said, and since last quarter “an additional five customers have broken ground, reflecting an increase in the long-term load from 3,721 MW in Q2 2025 to 7,313 MW in Q3 2025.”
Of the 28 committed projects, 18 have broken ground and 10 are pending construction, which “indicates that these large load customers are materializing and making progress without material delays,” the report said.
Georgia Power said that in the near-term, “projects that have broken ground represent 6,175 MW of the total 7,800 MW of customer commitments for the winter of 2028/2029.” The utility could not be immediately reached for comment.
Testimony filed Nov. 12 on behalf of the commission’s public interest advocacy staff warned that Georgia Power’s residential customers could see their monthly bills increase if the utility completes its planned generation buildout to support new data centers.
“The majority of the new generation Georgia Power seeks to certify … is not backed by executed contracts under the new large load framework,” stated the testimony, given by PSC staff members and consulting analysts. “Only about 1,900 MW is supported by such contracts. The rest is speculative and exposes customers to the risk of stranded costs if the anticipated load does not materialize.”
The staff testimony noted that the data center segment is “primarily underperforming expectations due to a mixture of lower materialization rates, project cancellations, and delays.”
“Since the 2023 IRP Update, thirty-three data center projects with 11,332 MW of announced load have been removed from the pipeline, representing ~55% of all project removals, and ~65% of announced load removed,” the testimony stated. “24% of data center projects that entered the LRM have been removed with an average of five data center projects exiting the pipeline each quarter … It is unclear whether the Company’s model accounts for this level of project removal.”

Texas Loan Fund Tops 3.5 Gw Of Gas Capacity Secured With Latest Nrg DealNRG Energy will develop a 455-MW gas plant near Houston, backed by a low-interest loan from the state of Texas, the company said Thursday.
It is the sixth loan finalized through the Texas Energy Fund program for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas market. Voters authorized the fund in 2023. The new generation will be built at NRG’s existing Greens Bayou Generating Station in Harris County, and is expected online in 2028.
New generation backed by the Texas Energy Fund, across six projects, now exceeds more than 3.5 GW, said officials at the Public Utility Commission of Texas, which manages the program.
The Lone Star State is experiencing “unprecedented growth,” NRG Executive Vice President, President of NRG Business and Wholesale Operations Robert Gaudette, said in a statement. Greens Bayou is NRG’s third project to receive support from the loan fund, marking about 1.5 GW of total capacity and up to $1.15 billion in low-interest loans.
Under the loan agreement for Greens Bayou, total project costs are estimated to be less than $617 million and the PUCT will provide a 20-year loan up to $370 million, or 60% of total cost, at a 3% interest rate.
In August, the PUCT tapped NRG for a TEF loan up to $216 million to develop two gas units totaling 456 MW of capacity at its existing TH Wharton Generating Station in Houston. And in September the company was selected for a loan of $562 million to develop a 721-MW gas plant near Baytown.
There are another 11 Texas Energy Fund applications moving through a due diligence review process, said state officials, representing another 5.4 GW of possible new capacity in the ERCOT footprint.

Rajasthan Rejects 3.2 Gw Coal Project, Strengthening Its Push Toward A Fully Renewable Future – EqIn Short : Rajasthan, India’s leading solar state, has rejected plans for a 3.2 GW coal-based power project, reinforcing its push toward clean energy. Officials said expanding fossil fuel capacity contradicts the state’s renewable goals. Rajasthan aims to prioritise solar, wind, and hybrid projects to meet rising electricity demand. The decision signals a strong commitment to sustainable growth and reduced carbon dependence.
In Detail :Rajasthan, India’s top solar-producing state, has firmly rejected a proposal for a 3.2 GW coal-based power project. The decision reflects the state’s continued preference for clean energy pathways. Officials emphasized that approving new coal capacity would undermine existing renewable targets. Rajasthan already leads India in large-scale solar installations. The state aims to strengthen its green identity further. Coal expansion no longer aligns with its long-term vision.
The proposed plant had been positioned as a means to meet rising power demand. However, authorities argued that renewable alternatives can address the requirement more sustainably. Rajasthan has significant solar and wind potential that remains untapped. These resources can support new capacity without adding carbon burdens. Policymakers stressed that future demand should be met through cleaner options. The state wants to avoid locking itself into fossil infrastructure.
Rajasthan’s decision also reflects concerns over environmental impact. Coal projects would increase emissions at a time when climate pressures are intensifying. The state has experienced rising temperatures and unpredictable weather patterns. Expanding fossil fuel use could worsen these effects. Officials noted that protecting ecological balance is a priority. Clean energy plays a central role in that strategy.
Renewable developers have welcomed the move. Many believe it reinforces confidence in the state’s green transition. Rajasthan already attracts major investments in solar and wind projects. The market sees this decision as a signal of stability. Strong policy direction often boosts investor enthusiasm. Renewable expansion requires clear governmental commitment.
The state plans to focus more on hybrid and storage-backed renewable projects. These offer better reliability compared to standalone solar or wind systems. Hybrid models can deliver round-the-clock power when paired with batteries. Rajasthan is exploring large-scale storage deployments to balance intermittency. Such technologies can replace the need for new coal capacity. The long-term goal is to build a resilient green grid.
The decision also aligns with India’s national climate goals. The country aims to significantly expand its renewable capacity before 2030. Rajasthan’s leadership in the sector supports this national agenda. Rejecting coal demonstrates alignment with broader clean energy ambitions. The state is expected to remain a flagship renewable hub. Its energy policy decisions hold strong influence.
Public sentiment has also shifted toward cleaner alternatives. Communities increasingly recognize the benefits of renewable projects. Lower pollution levels contribute to better health outcomes. Solar initiatives have also brought employment opportunities. The state has seen significant rural involvement in clean energy programs. This social support strengthens the renewable transition.
Opponents of the coal plan argued that investing in fossil fuels carries financial risks. Global trends show coal assets becoming increasingly uncompetitive. Renewable tariffs have fallen sharply in recent years. Long-term coal investments may become stranded. Rajasthan prefers technologies that offer cost stability. Renewable energy ensures predictable pricing.
Overall, Rajasthan’s decision marks a major step in consolidating its renewable-first strategy. The state has reaffirmed its commitment to clean growth. Rejecting coal strengthens its position as a national leader in green energy. The focus will now remain on scaling solar, wind, hybrid, and storage solutions. Policymakers view this pathway as more sustainable and future-ready. Rajasthan continues to shape India’s clean energy narrative.

Denmark Floats Tenders For 2.8 Gw Offshore Wind ProjectsThe Danish Energy Agency has launched tenders for three offshore wind farms with a combined minimum capacity of 2.8 GW. The three projects are North Sea Mid, Hesselø in the Kattegat, and North Sea South. These projects are intended to deliver electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of around three million households across Denmark and Europe.
The projects will be offered under a two-sided capability-based contract for difference that secures a fixed electricity price for developers and reduces the risk of low tariffs. The state has set an overall payment ceiling of DKK 55.2 billion including VAT. The tender conditions also introduce sustainability and labour-related requirements, including criteria for turbine blade recyclability and safeguards against social dumping. The bidders must demonstrate compliance with cybersecurity rules when requested. Additionally, the Hesselø project must adopt a nature-inclusive design. The submission deadlines vary by the project. The deadline for the submission of tenders for North Sea Mid and Hesselø projects is spring 2026, while the same for North Sea South project is autumn 2028.
Furthermore, the three projects also have minimum capacity and completion timelines criteria. North Sea Mid should have a minimum capacity of 1,000 MW and Hesselø should have a minimum capacity of 800 MW, with both projects set to be operational by the end of 2032. North Sea South should have a minimum capacity of 1,000 MW, to be completed by the end of 2034. The projects also allow additional overplanting. These tenders follow earlier offshore rounds in 2024, in which no bids were received, leading to further market discussions and subsequent political agreements that shaped the current 2.8 GW tender.
