The Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission has permitted Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited to withdraw its petition for solar power tariff approval under the PM-KUSUM scheme. This decision ended the tariff approval process, as changes by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy made the project unviable. PGVCL indicated that it would refund bidders' fees.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has approved the Lepelle-Nkumpi Local Municipality's application for licenses to operate an electricity distribution network and trading in specific areas, including Jackinland and Lebowakgomo Unit R. This approval enhances electricity access, supports infrastructure development, and follows regulatory requirements.

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has approved generation licences for four solar photovoltaic projects, adding 890 MW to the electricity system. Developed by Red Rocket and Engie, these projects facilitate the transition to clean energy while creating jobs and promoting local economic participation.

Tokyo Gas Engineering Solutions (TGES) will lead a clean energy demonstration project in Thailand, supported by Japan's METI. The 3.7 billion yen project aims to enhance renewable energy use, improve grid stability, and reduce industrial electricity costs through solar PV and battery storage systems. This aligns with TGES's strategy for sustainable energy solutions.

Indonesia and Singapore are advancing a significant cross-border renewable energy initiative, with Singapore aiming to import 3.4 GW of clean electricity by 2035. Final agreements on electricity pricing remain under negotiation, crucial for project viability. Regulatory challenges persist, but the initiative is seen as vital for ASEAN's energy security and low-carbon goals.

WeLight, Africa's largest solar mini-grid operator, is launching a $650 million expansion to enhance electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Aiming for one million connections by 2030, the plan leverages public financing and private investment while supporting broader goals of the World Bank and African Development Bank.

Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL) has won a major interstate transmission project aimed at enhancing the power transmission network and facilitating the evacuation of 20 GW of renewable energy from Rajasthan.
