EDF Chile Secures Environmental Permit for 557 MW Wind-Solar-BESS Hybrid Project
EDF Chile, a unit of EDF Renewables, has obtained an environmental permit for a 557 MW hybrid renewable energy project combining wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The project represents a major investment in Chile’s clean energy infrastructure, aimed at improving grid stability and maximizing renewable output. By integrating innovative hybrid technology, the facility will optimize energy generation and storage, delivering reliable, low-carbon electricity to customers and supporting Chile’s decarbonization targets. The development underscores EDF’s commitment to sustainable growth and innovation, while providing long-term benefits such as energy security, reduced emissions, and improved system flexibility. The milestone reflects strong momentum in Latin America’s renewable energy market and growing adoption of multi-technology hybrid solutions.
TSE and Ocealia Partner on 500 MWp Agri-PV Initiative in France
French solar developer TSE and agricultural cooperative Ocealia have teamed up on a 500 MWp agrivoltaics (agri-PV) initiative in France, combining renewable energy generation with sustainable farming. The partnership will deploy innovative solar technologies designed to coexist with agricultural activities, improving land productivity while generating clean electricity. The large-scale investment supports France’s energy transition goals, delivering long-term benefits for farmers, local communities, and energy consumers. By integrating solar infrastructure with crops and livestock operations, the initiative enhances climate resilience, energy security, and rural economic development. The collaboration reflects a growing focus on customer- and farmer-centric renewable solutions, positioning agri-PV as a key growth segment in the French solar market.
Econergy Reaches Financial Close on 120 MWh Battery Storage Project in Scotland
Econergy has achieved financial close on a 120 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Scotland, marking a major milestone in its UK energy storage expansion strategy. The project will deploy advanced battery technology to enhance grid flexibility, stability, and renewable integration. The investment supports Scotland’s net-zero ambitions, enabling greater penetration of wind and solar power while reducing curtailment. Customers and grid operators will benefit from improved reliability, faster response times, and cost-efficient balancing services. The milestone highlights strong investor confidence in UK battery storage assets and underscores Econergy’s focus on innovation, scalable clean energy solutions, and long-term value creation within the rapidly growing energy storage market.
