🌍🌱☀️ Inspiring future energy leaders: As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of energy leaders, we were delighted to welcome MSc Energy Management students from ESCP Business School to a site visit at Manor Farm solar. With hands-on discussions led by our field service engineers and asset managers, the students gained real-world insights into solar farm operations, maintenance, and stakeholder collaboration. ☀️⚡ The 5MWp solar farm at Manor Farm was developed by Lightsource bp in 2015 and produces enough renewable energy to power over 2,000 homes. ☀️⚡It is now owned by Bluefield Partners LLP and GLIL Infrastructure, with Lightsource bp continuing to provide Asset Management and Operations and Maintenance services. 🔧 Read more at https://lnkd.in/enQbGGmY #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #EnergyTransition #FutureLeaders #Lightsourcebp

SolarPower Europe has launched their Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2025-2029. These 6 graphs from the report show the rapid growth of solar PV installed globally. In fact, 2024 saw solar power continue to dominate as the fastest-growing renewable energy source – marking an incredible 20th consecutive year. KEY FACTS FROM THE REPORT: ↗️ 597 GW of solar power was installed in 2024 – 33% more than 2023 🎉 Milestone hit: 2 TW total solar installed globally 🌍 Solar PV made up 46% of global renewable capacity in 2024 🔵⭐ Across Europe, solar installations grew 15% YoY. But this marks a slowdown from 48% in 2023 and 50% in 2022. 🔴🟡 China added 55% of all global solar installations 🔭 Looking ahead: 1 TW of solar is predicted to be installed per year by the end of the decade To read our full summary of the report, visit https://lnkd.in/eJu3ZCyt #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Lightsourcebp
