Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from ABO Energy, Lightsource bp, BREP, Hett Moor Solar Project, and others.
ABO Energy Secures Tariffs for 50-MW Solar Portfolio
ABO Energy has won tariffs for a 50-MW portfolio of three solar projects, advancing their path toward construction and long-term operation. The tariff awards provide revenue certainty under the applicable support scheme, strengthening project bankability and investor confidence. The trio of solar plants will contribute additional renewable capacity to the grid, supporting national decarbonisation and energy security goals. Securing regulated tariffs helps mitigate exposure to wholesale price volatility while enabling competitive financing terms. For ABO Energy, the award expands its solar pipeline and reinforces its position as a diversified renewable developer. The milestone reflects sustained policy backing for utility-scale solar deployment as countries accelerate efforts to scale clean power generation and modernise electricity systems.
Lightsource bp Secures CfD for Hett Moor Solar Project
Lightsource bp has won a Contract for Difference (CfD) for its Hett Moor solar project in the UK, providing long-term price certainty and enabling the scheme to progress toward construction. The award was secured in the latest allocation round, reinforcing investor confidence in large-scale solar. The CfD mechanism guarantees a fixed strike price, shielding the project from wholesale market volatility and supporting competitive financing. Once operational, Hett Moor will deliver cost-efficient, low-carbon electricity, strengthening energy security and contributing to the UK’s net-zero targets. The win expands Lightsource bp’s UK portfolio and underscores the growing role of utility-scale solar in the country’s evolving energy mix as renewable deployment accelerates nationwide.
BREP Launches Baltic Hybrid Solar-Storage Project
BREP has launched a new hybrid solar-plus-storage project in the Baltic region, combining photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage to enhance grid flexibility and reliability. The integrated design will allow solar power to be stored and dispatched during peak demand periods, improving overall system efficiency. The project reflects growing momentum for co-located renewable and storage assets, which help manage intermittency and reduce curtailment. By pairing solar capacity with battery systems, the development is expected to deliver more stable, low-carbon electricity while supporting regional energy security. The launch strengthens BREP’s renewable portfolio and highlights the Baltic states’ commitment to expanding modern, resilient clean energy infrastructure as part of broader decarbonisation and grid modernisation strategies.
