Cash pump – The World Bank has agreed to contribute $265 mln to a pumped hydro project in Morocco, it announced Wednesday, which it described as one of the most significant energy infrastructure investments for Africa. Located near Chefchaoeun, the Ifahsa Pumped Hydropower Storage Project will have a capacity of 300 MW and will enable the country to add at least 1 GW of new solar and wind power to its grid and unlock $1 bln of private sector investment. This will lead to the displacement of 3 TWh of fossil fuel-based generation, reducing emissions by 1.7 MtCO2e annually, the bank said. Morocco has signed deals with Switzerland and Norway under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6 to support the roll out of renewable energy.

The Clean Energy Regulator has appointed an acting CEO and chair as David Parker steps down after nine years at the helm.

Roll out – Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has committed A$22 mln ($15 mln) to go towards trucking fleet specialist Zenobe Australia acquiring up to 148 battery electric trucks (BETs), it announced. The transaction backs what will be the largest fleet rollout of electric trucks in Australia, the CEFC said, with the Foton T5 BETs to be leased to supermarket Woolworths for last mile delivery across New South Wales and Victoria, with additional vehicles in Queensland, Western Australia, and South Australia. Full fleet rollout is expected to be completed throughout 2027. BET take up remains low in Australia compared to passenger EVs, accounting for just 0.9% of new truck and heavy vans sold in 2026.
