Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Nordex, wpd, Aypa Power, Volkswagen, and others.
Nordex Secures 279.2 MW Turbine Orders from wpd
Nordex has won new wind turbine orders totaling 279.2 MW from renewable energy developer wpd, strengthening its presence in the global wind energy market. The contracts include the supply and installation of advanced Nordex turbines designed to deliver high efficiency and reliable renewable power generation. The projects will support the expansion of onshore wind capacity and contribute to regional clean energy targets. In addition to turbine delivery, Nordex will provide long-term service and maintenance to ensure optimal performance of the wind farms. The orders highlight continued investment in wind energy infrastructure as developers accelerate projects to meet growing electricity demand and global decarbonization goals.
Aypa Power, Six Nations Secure Funding for 422 MW Ontario Battery Storage Projects
Aypa Power and Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation have secured funding for 422 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Ontario, Canada. The investment will support the development of large-scale energy storage facilities designed to enhance grid reliability and integrate growing renewable energy capacity. The BESS projects will help manage peak electricity demand, store excess renewable power, and improve overall grid stability. The partnership also highlights Indigenous participation in clean energy infrastructure development. Once operational, the battery storage systems will play a key role in supporting Ontario’s energy transition, strengthening power system flexibility, and enabling greater deployment of renewable energy across the region
Volkswagen Enters Energy Storage Market with 20 MW Battery Facility
Volkswagen has entered the energy storage sector with the launch of a 20 MW battery energy storage facility, marking a strategic expansion beyond electric vehicles. The project utilizes second-life electric vehicle batteries to store renewable electricity and support grid stability. By repurposing EV batteries, Volkswagen aims to enhance energy efficiency, reduce waste, and strengthen sustainable energy solutions. The facility will help balance power supply and demand while enabling better integration of solar and wind energy into the grid. The initiative reflects Volkswagen’s broader strategy to develop circular energy systems and expand its role in the clean energy ecosystem while supporting the transition toward a more flexible and low-carbon power network.
