Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) has issued MEMR Regulation No. 2/2024, which abolishes net metering for rooftop photovoltaic installations. The country first introduced net metering in November 2018, allowing solar project owners to export excess power to the grid operated by state utility PT PLN to reduce their electricity bills. Since the regulation was introduced, several amendments have been made. The latest policy amendment came into effect on January 30 and guarantees that customers who have installed rooftop solar systems before that date will remain under the previous rules for the next 10 years.

The Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) has released its operating rules for the energy community following the publication of the final rule on January 24. The new rules describe how project developers can receive rebate benefits provided by the Italian government for energy community construction under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNNR), while also explaining how these incentives can be increased at the same time as feed-in tariffs are approved to communities. The new rules also describe how photovoltaic systems deployed before December 15, 2021, will be included in the incentive program. The rules state that these photovoltaic systems can account for up to 30 percent of the energy community's total power generation. The GSE will launch the Developer Incentive Application Platform on April 8.

Saharan dust carried by Atlantic winds sweeps across Europe over the Iberian Peninsula. This has led to a decrease in irradiance, particularly in Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and Germany. Saharan dust carried by Atlantic winds drifted over Europe late last week, reducing daily irradiance by 25 percent as dust in the atmosphere scatters, absorbs and reflects sunlight. Prevailing westerly winds on February 14 carried dust from the Iberian Peninsula to Germany on February 16. Peak irradiance losses were as high as 30% in the affected areas at noon, with large areas of northern Europe, especially the Netherlands, and daily irradiance losses of 15-25% in Germany on 15-16 February. On February 14, a high pressure system over North Africa and a low pressure system in the Norwegian Sea in the low to mid-level atmosphere directed westerly winds across the African continent, carrying Saharan dust from west to east across Europe. Dust in the atmosphere reduces irradiance by scattering sunlight as it passes through the atmosphere, appearing as haze to observers on the ground, and reducing the irradiance received by the surface. Dust can also deposit and contaminate panels, which can affect solar power generation, even after the dust is removed from the atmosphere, reducing the efficiency of power generation. Asset operators in affected areas may find that these pollution impacts result in reduced power generation.
