🌎Solar-Plus-Storage Can Power Data Centers for Less Than Gas
Share of baseload met by solar and storage at cost parity with a CCGT
@pvson

[Fadi Maalouf @SolarUAE]

💰Firm levelised costs of electricity (‘firm costs’) for solar plus storage range from USD 54 to USD 82 per megawatt-hour (MWh) in high-quality resource regions, compared with USD 70–85 per MWh for new coal in China and more than USD 100 per MWh for new gas globally.

📍First of a kind in MENA: Oman’s intends to appoint a techno-economic consultant to undertake an initial assessment for the development of a new IPP capable of operating on up to 100% hydrogen, with indicative generation capacity 800 to 1,000 MW.

📍The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has shaken global energy markets. Oil and gas flows have been disrupted, prices have jumped, and supply routes are under threat. But instead of
slowing down the global energy transition, these events show why the world must accelerate
it.

PV module prices continue to rise unabated
Photovoltaic module prices have risen for the fourth consecutive month, driven by strong demand for energy independence despite falling upstream costs such as polysilicon

📍Türkiye: a must watch and engage market❗️Why❓
1- ETS soon.
2- PV & Wind GWs on the way.
3- Energy Storage GWs program oversubscribed.
↔️Accordingly, Türkiye has made it into the MENA Energy Storage Outlook Dashboard.

🎈2026: Is this the end of ultra cheap solar PV panels❓

🌀Solar panel prices are facing a perfect storm in 2026. After historic lows in 2025 0.08-0.09 $/Wp, prices are now reversing due to China's VAT change, supply discipline, & silver shock
