Stem’s PowerTrack to Support Norbut Solar Farms’ Community Solar Expansion
Stem is expanding its partnership with Norbut Solar Farms by deploying its AI-driven PowerTrack platform to manage and optimize a growing portfolio of community solar projects across New York. The collaboration supports Norbut’s rapid development and EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) capabilities as it scales solar deployment in the state. PowerTrack will provide real-time performance monitoring, energy forecasting, and operational insights to enhance asset performance and grid integration. This partnership reflects the increasing demand for intelligent energy solutions and strengthens both companies’ positions in the U.S. distributed energy and community solar markets.
Wallbox and Ensol Expand Partnership to Deliver Fast Charging in Southern U.S.
Wallbox and Ensol have expanded their partnership to accelerate the deployment of DC fast charging infrastructure across Texas, Florida, and Georgia. The collaboration will focus on installing Wallbox’s Supernova DC fast chargers in key urban and transit locations, supporting the growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in the southern U.S. Ensol will lead turnkey deployment, including permitting, installation, and maintenance. This initiative aligns with both companies’ goals to enhance EV adoption and provide accessible, reliable charging solutions in high-growth markets, contributing to broader transportation electrification and decarbonization efforts.
Zelestra Completes Peru’s Largest Solar Project
Zelestra has completed Peru’s largest solar project, the 300MW Inti Punku solar farm, located in the Arequipa region. The project significantly boosts the country’s renewable energy capacity and supports its clean energy transition goals. Inti Punku will supply power to the national grid, helping to diversify Peru’s energy mix and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Zelestra emphasized the project’s role in promoting sustainable development and local economic growth. With construction now finished, the plant is expected to begin full operations shortly, marking a major milestone for Peru’s solar energy sector.
RES Submits 600MW Steeple Solar Project for DCO
Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has submitted a Development Consent Order (DCO) application for its proposed 600MW Steeple solar and energy storage project in Essex, England. If approved, it will be one of the UK’s largest solar-plus-storage developments. The project includes co-located battery storage to enhance grid flexibility and reliability. Located near the Dengie Peninsula, Steeple is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power over 180,000 homes annually. RES emphasized its commitment to community engagement and environmental responsibility, with local consultations held prior to the submission to address feedback and minimize environmental impacts.
Low Carbon Files to Build 180MW Wind Duo in Scotland
Low Carbon has submitted applications to develop two onshore wind farms in Scotland with a combined capacity of up to 180MW. The proposed projects — Muirhall South and Glenshero South — are located in South Lanarkshire and the Highlands, respectively. Both sites have been selected for their strong wind resources and grid accessibility. If approved, the wind farms will contribute significantly to Scotland’s renewable energy targets and support Low Carbon’s ambition to develop 20GW of renewable capacity by 2030. The company emphasized its commitment to community engagement and local environmental considerations.
