The latest renewable energy news includes announcements on 2.4-GWh battery supply deal between Sunotec and Sungrow, ReNew Power’s 100 MW wind farm and Avaada Energy’s 50 MW wind-solar hybrid project, among others.
Sunotec and Sungrow Sign 2.4-GWh Battery Supply Deal
Sunotec has signed a major supply agreement with Chinese energy storage leader Sungrow for 2.4 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS). The batteries will support utility-scale solar and storage projects across Europe, particularly in Germany and Bulgaria. The deal strengthens Sunotec’s strategy to expand its renewable energy portfolio with advanced storage integration, enhancing grid flexibility and energy reliability. Sungrow will supply containerized lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery systems, known for high safety, efficiency, and longevity. This collaboration reflects a growing focus on hybrid clean energy systems. Key benefits include improved energy availability, grid stability, and support for the energy transition. The agreement reinforces both companies’ innovation-driven approach to clean energy infrastructure in high-demand markets.
Odisha Approves 178 MW Wind and Solar Projects to Boost Green Energy
Odisha’s government has approved 178 MW of wind and solar energy projects led by five private companies. Key developments include ReNew Power’s 100 MW wind farm and Avaada Energy’s 50 MW wind-solar hybrid project. Other contributors include Hindustan Power and Greenko. The initiative is part of Odisha’s broader clean energy strategy to reduce carbon emissions and increase the share of renewables in its energy mix. Backed by GEDCOL, the state focuses on hybrid technologies, grid connectivity, and public-private partnerships. These projects will improve energy availability, create local jobs, and attract further investment in sustainable infrastructure. The approach emphasizes innovation, long-term energy security, and a customer-focused transition to clean, reliable power sources.
Statera Energy’s 500-MW Battery Storage Project Approved in UK
Statera Energy has received UK government approval to construct a 500-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Thurrock, Essex. The project is one of the largest of its kind in the UK and aligns with Statera’s strategy to support the transition to a net-zero power system by providing grid flexibility and stability. The battery will store surplus renewable energy and release it when demand is high or generation is low, helping reduce curtailment and reliance on fossil fuels. The technology focus is on large-scale lithium-ion storage with grid integration capabilities. The project caters to utilities and grid operators, promising reliable energy management. Key benefits include enhanced energy resilience, renewable integration, and progress toward decarbonisation.
