Greencells and 3E Form Software Driven O&M Partnership in Belgium
Greencells has entered a new operations and maintenance partnership with Belgian software specialist 3E, integrating 3E’s SynaptiQ digital platform into Greencells’ managed solar portfolio. The collaboration enhances technology driven asset performance, using advanced analytics, automated diagnostics, and real time monitoring to reduce downtime and improve energy output. The partnership supports Greencells’ strategy to expand high quality O&M services across Europe, strengthening its growth plans in digital asset management. For project owners and consumers, improved operational efficiency translates into more reliable, lower cost renewable generation. 3E gains access to a broader pipeline of assets, helping scale its software solutions in the fast growing solar market. The agreement underscores rising investment in data led innovation to optimize solar plant performance.
Japan’s Renova Targets FID on Two 100 MW Battery Projects This Fiscal Year
Japan’s Renova plans to reach final investment decisions this fiscal year on two 100 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, signaling a major step in its strategy to expand large scale storage across Japan. The projects will use advanced lithium ion technology to support grid stability, integrate more renewable power, and reduce system imbalance costs. Renova views storage as a critical pillar of its growth plans, complementing its solar and biomass portfolio with flexible, fast responding assets. The company is also evaluating additional BESS opportunities as part of a broader investment pipeline. For consumers and utilities, the new storage capacity is expected to improve power reliability, enable higher renewable penetration, and support Japan’s long term decarbonization goals.
Fortescue 50 MW Battery at Australian Iron Ore Mine and Plans Further Rollout
Fortescue has installed a 50 MW / 50 MWh battery energy storage system at its Chichester Hub iron ore operations in Western Australia, marking a key step in its strategy to decarbonize mining activities. The battery uses advanced grid forming technology to stabilize onsite power, reduce diesel use, and integrate more renewable energy into mining operations. Fortescue said the investment will cut fuel costs, lower emissions, and improve energy reliability for its large scale industrial loads. The company plans further BESS deployments across its mines as part of a broader growth plan to transition to clean energy and electrified operations. This expansion supports long term consumer and industry benefits through reduced emissions in resource supply chains and greater renewable adoption in heavy industry.
