Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Orron Energy, Enviromena, Iberdrola Solar, among others.
Orron Energy Secures UK Grid Connections for 2.9 GW Renewable Pipeline
Orron Energy has secured UK grid connection agreements totalling 2.9 GW, a major milestone for advancing its large-scale renewable energy pipeline. The capacity will support a mix of utility-scale renewable technologies, including wind and solar, designed to deliver clean power at scale while integrating with the UK’s evolving electricity system. The secured grid access significantly de-risks future investment, improving project bankability and accelerating development timelines. For consumers, the projects are expected to support greater availability of low-carbon electricity, improved energy security, and long-term price stability. Strategically, the milestone underpins Orrön Energy’s growth plans in the UK, positioning the company to scale its renewables portfolio and play a larger role in supporting national net-zero and power system decarbonisation goals.
Enviromena Secures Financing for Steeraway Solar Project
Enviromena has secured project financing for the Steeraway solar project, advancing the development of a utility-scale renewable asset. The project will deploy modern solar PV technology designed to deliver efficient, low-carbon electricity with high operational reliability. The investment financing improves project bankability and enables construction to progress, supporting the expansion of clean generation capacity. For consumers and corporate offtakers, Steeraway Solar will provide access to competitively priced, renewable power and contribute to emissions reduction. Strategically, the financing aligns with Enviromena’s focus on scaling solar assets across key markets. It supports the company’s growth strategy to expand its renewable portfolio, strengthen investor confidence, and deliver long-term sustainable energy solutions.
Iberdrola Solar Plant Powers Salzgitter’s Green Steel Production
Iberdrola has brought a solar power plant online to supply renewable electricity to Salzgitter’s green steel operations, supporting the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industry. The project uses utility-scale solar PV technology to deliver clean, reliable power under a long-term supply arrangement tailored to industrial demand. The investment strengthens the business case for green steel by lowering carbon intensity and stabilising energy costs. For industrial consumers, the project provides secure access to renewable power, reducing exposure to fossil fuel price volatility. Strategically, the initiative aligns with Iberdrola’s focus on electrifying industry and expanding corporate PPAs. It supports growth plans in industrial decarbonisation solutions while reinforcing solar power’s role in transforming heavy manufacturing.
