EPIA finds that 27.7 GW of solar energy photovoltaic (PV) capacity was commissioned in 2011. These new capacities bring the world to an estimated 67.4 GW of global PV capacity at the end of 2011.

The Ministry of Energy and Water will install 142 isolated photovoltaic solar power systems, totalling 534.6 kW in several rural localities of the country.

Ukraine will increase the capacity of wind energy and solar power plants in 2012 by 600 MW, the generation of such energy will exceed 1 billion kilowatt-hour (kWh).

Net installed capacity of EGP amounted to 7,079 MW, of which 2,539 MW (36%) hydro, 3,541 MW (50%) wind energy, 769 MW (11%) geothermal energy, 102 MW (1%) solar energy and 128 MW (2%) of other renewable energy.

Tunisia is the fourth country to sign onto the Desertec solar energy project, with an agreement to build 2 gigawatts of concentrated solar thermal power (CSP).
