Saudi Arabia’s solar buildout is accelerating fast.
Our data shows a 22% jump in detected capacity this quarter, reaching 10.8 GW.
☀️ And it isn't alone... we noted a 5.6% increase in capacity worldwide.

4️⃣ Our estimates of distributed solar in Pakistan can be viewed at the national, regional, or sectoral level — or mapped by hexagonal cells in detailed visualisations.

4️⃣ Our estimates of distributed solar in Pakistan can be viewed at the national, regional, or sectoral level — or mapped by hexagonal cells in detailed visualisations.
3️⃣ We then used building and land-cover data to link solar patterns to building size and agricultural land.
These relationships let us extrapolate the amount of solar found in our image samples to a total capacity for across Pakistan — from city rooftops to rural fields

2️⃣ Using a mix of machine learning and manual checks, we identified and labelled every rooftop and ground-mounted installation visible in our set of sample images — which amounted to more than 27,000 solar sites.

2️⃣ Using a mix of machine learning and manual checks, we identified and labelled every rooftop and ground-mounted installation visible in our set of sample images — which amounted to more than 27,000 solar sites.
1️⃣ We divided Pakistan into thousands of small hexagonal cells, then selected around 1,000 representative locations.
Each one was covered by highly-detailed satellite images that can capture features as small as 30 centimetres across, covering both urban and rural areas.

📈 Pakistan has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing solar markets, but comprehensive data on actual installations remains limited.
But tracking small-scale solar across an entire country isn’t easy.
TransitionZero needed a faster, scalable way to see how solar is really spreading...

Reaching 80% CFE would also result in deep emissions cuts for the Taiwanese power system — 5MtCO2e per year, while requiring less overall capacity than annual matching, thanks to its reliance on geothermal for firm, clean supply.

Reaching 80% CFE would also result in deep emissions cuts for the Taiwanese power system — 5MtCO2e per year, while requiring less overall capacity than annual matching, thanks to its reliance on geothermal for firm, clean supply.
The results are clear: if 5% of Taiwan’s grid electricity demand adopted 80% CFE, a least-cost approach that prioritises maximising cheaper onshore wind, solar and geothermal before turning to more expensive technologies, it would translate into system-wide savings of roughly US$1 billion per year.

Using a detailed, open-source model, we examined how 24/7 carbon-free energy could affect grid planners and corporate buyers.
Specifically, what would it mean if 5% of commercial and industrial demand was met with 24/7 CFE by 2030?

🇹🇼 In 2024, the Taiwanese government raised its 2030 emissions reduction target from 24% to 28% below 2005 levels.
The country faces both opportunities and obstacles in shifting to a grid powered by low-cost, variable renewable energy.

Overall, 24/7 CFE by 2030 can be delivered at a lower system cost than annual matching, and these savings grow as CFE targets rise, reaching, ranging from US$560 to 710 million in avoided fuel cost.

Results show that optimal hourly matching for C&I consumers is high: 80% CFE in Peninsular Malaysia and 90% CFE in Sarawak. In comparison to hourly matching, net system costs are US$10 million at 80% CFE in Peninsular Malaysia and US$5 million lower at 90% CFE in Sarawak.

Our model includes three domestic nodes — Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak, and Sabah — and three international interconnectors with Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak are expected to see significant CFE demand from large C&I consumers.
