The renewable energy sector continues to grow rapidly, with major projects spanning Europe, North America, and Latin America. Leading developers are investing in solar, battery storage, and wave energy technologies to enhance grid stability, reduce carbon emissions, and provide reliable clean power.
RWE Commissions 13.9 MW Photovoltaic Plant in Niederzier, Germany
RWE has launched a 13.9 MW photovoltaic (PV) plant near Niederzier in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Covering 12 hectares on the Hambach opencast mine, the facility features over 22,000 solar panels capable of supplying around 4,500 households annually with green electricity. Constructed in under five months, the project used an AI-supported tool to monitor progress via drone imagery, ensuring efficiency and precision. CEO Katja Wünschel emphasized regional benefits, including revenue sharing with local municipalities through NEULAND HAMBACH GmbH. The new plant complements two existing PV facilities at Hambach, together providing 47.2 MW peak and an 8 MWh battery storage system. RWE now operates eight solar plants and nine onshore wind farms in the Rhenish region, with additional projects under development.
CFE to Develop 100 MW Concentrated Solar Power in Baja California Sur, Mexico
Mexico’s state-owned utility CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad) announced plans to construct 100 MW of concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in Baja California Sur. The project addresses high regional electricity demand and limited grid interconnection, offering dispatchable renewable energy with thermal storage. CSP technology enables 24/7 clean power supply, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The initiative strengthens energy security, supports Mexico’s climate targets, and provides economic and environmental benefits to customers and communities.
Green Flexibility Builds 10 MW Battery Storage in Krumbach, Germany
German energy company Green Flexibility GmbH is developing a 10 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Krumbach, Bavaria. The project enhances grid stability, supports renewable integration, and complements Germany’s Energiewende goals. Using advanced lithium-ion battery technology, the BESS provides fast response for frequency regulation and peak demand management. The system benefits grid operators and energy traders by improving reliability, reducing market volatility, and promoting economic efficiency in the region’s clean energy transition.
Eco Wave Power Achieves Milestone with First Floater Deployment in Los Angeles, U.S.
Eco Wave Power Global has completed operational testing at its U.S. pilot project in the Port of Los Angeles, lowering its innovative floaters into the water for the first time. Broadcast live by Good Morning America, the milestone follows completion of floaters, hydraulic connections, and the onshore energy conversion unit. The pilot project now enters its operational phase, with a formal unveiling scheduled for September 9, 2025. Designed as a demonstration station, it showcases patented wave energy technology, supports regulatory collaboration, serves as an educational hub, and lays the foundation for future commercial wave energy projects in the U.S. Local partners All-Ways Metal and C&S Welding Inc. contributed to fabrication and installation.
Global Renewable Energy Impact
These projects highlight a growing global shift toward renewable energy solutions, combining solar, storage, and wave technologies. Companies like RWE, CFE, Green Flexibility, and Eco Wave Power are driving innovation, enhancing grid resilience, reducing carbon emissions, and providing long-term economic and environmental benefits. Large-scale deployment of renewable infrastructure continues to be central to achieving clean energy targets, decarbonization, and sustainable growth worldwide.
