Anders Holch Povlsen, Danmarks rigeste mand, kobler i disse dage (okt-21)Nordeuropas største solcellepark til elnettet. Parken skal forsyne Bestseller og andre virksomheder med grøn strøm, har kostet over en halv milliard kroner - og er sluppet for store naboprotester.

Better Energy er en dansk milliardvirksomhed, der har store planer for flere solcelleparker i Danmark. Sidste år indgik selskabet en aftale med Industriens Pension om anlæg af solceller for fire milliarder kroner i det, der blev kaldet danmarkshistoriens største solaftale.
Interessen afspejles også af en optælling, som TV 2 foretog i april. Den viste, at der var planer om etablering af nye solcelleparker i det åbne land på et areal svarende til 23.977 hektarer. Det svarer til et areal, der næsten er på størrelse med Langeland.
De mange nye solcelleparker har flere steder udløst protester fra naboer, der ikke ønsker udsigten til flade marker erstattet af de markante solcelleanlæg. I december sidste år måtte Better Energy trække sig fra et projekt på Ærø efter protester fra lokalbefolkningen.

Huffington Post 28.1.2012 In the desert of Southern Tunisia, a group of renewable energy entrepreneurs, NUR Energie Ltd, and their Tunisian joint venture partner, Top Oilfield Services, are creating what may just be the most ambitious solar power renewable energy project to date. Along with the endorsement of the Desertec Foundation, NUR Energie has launched the TuNur project to export solar energy from North Africa to Europe, linking Tunisia to Italy via a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Cable and into the Italian electricity grid in order to supply a constant 2,000 MW of electricity. When completed, TuNur is set to be the world's largest solar energy project.
Since 2008, Nur Energie has focused on developing projects with concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV) technology in four core markets - Greece, Italy, France and Tunisia. The PV activities are centred around Italy and France while the CSP activities are centred around Greece and Tunisia. The purpose and mission of Nur Energie is the development of solar projects in the most promising locations around the Mediterranean. Nur Energie has a growing number of projects which it expects to achieve construction-ready status in the coming 24-months. In the Mediterranean region, these projects are at different stages of development, and comprise of 75MW of projects in Greece and a long-term project of 2000MW in Tunisia for electricity export through a merchant HVDC cable into Europe.

Feb 17, 2012 The concentrated solar power sector kicked off 2O12 by bringing several game-changing innovations online. David Craik gives an overview of the latest breakthrough concepts, and finds out what is in store for the remainder of the year.
By Joel Stonington Spiegel Online November 13, 2012 As recently as three years ago, many thought that it was only a matter of time before solar thermal plants in North Africa supplied a significant portion of Europe's energy needs. But Desertec has hit a road block. Industrial backers are jumping ship, political will is tepid and a key pilot project has suddenly stalled. "Part of the problem is historical distrust. No country wants to import electricity and energy security is often at the top of national objectives. Further, the costs of supporting energy production and transmission were noted by German members of parliament at the Desertec conference. " ""Everybody is staring at each other and nobody moves," said Sven Teske, director of renewable energy at Greenpeace. "In this deadly, sometimes embarrassing silence, everybody is praising the project. And then silence again" "When Desertec launched in 2009, it had a long list of corporate shareholders and partners. Today the list of shareholders includes Deutsche Bank, reinsurance company Munich RE, UniCredit, and utilities E.ON and RWE. But two major backers have recently withdrawn support: industrial giant Siemens and Bosch, the world's largest auto parts supplier. Siemens cited cost-cutting measures and its withdrawal was consistent with its recent retreat on all things solar. Still, the company was a founding member."
Spiegel Online By Nicolai Kwasniewski, April 03, 2013 Mansour Cherni is one of the people who don't fit into this image of a densely populated Europe powered by sunlight from the largely deserted Sahara. The Tunisian trade unionist attended the World Social Forum 2013 (WSF), a five-day event held in Tunis in late March. "Where will the energy produced here be used?" he asked. "Where will the water come from that will cool the solar power plants? And what do the locals get from it all?"
I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. - Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, 1931
