Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from AGR, Origis Energy, R.Power, and others.
AGR Wins 146 MW in UK Contracts for Difference Auction
AGR has secured 146 MW of renewable energy capacity in the UK’s latest Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction, strengthening its development pipeline and long-term revenue visibility. The award guarantees a fixed strike price for the electricity generated, reducing market risk and enhancing project bankability. The 146 MW allocation supports the UK government’s strategy to accelerate clean power deployment and meet net-zero targets. By locking in CfD support, AGR can move forward with investment decisions and construction planning while contributing reliable, low-carbon electricity to the national grid. The result underscores continued competition and investor confidence in the UK renewables market, with CfDs remaining a cornerstone mechanism for scaling wind and solar capacity across the country.
Origis Energy Completes 500 MWdc Swift Air Solar Project
Origis Energy has completed the 500 MWdc Swift Air Solar project, marking a major milestone in large-scale US solar deployment. The utility-scale solar facility strengthens grid capacity and supports corporate and utility clean energy procurement strategies. The 500 MWdc project is expected to generate substantial renewable electricity annually, reducing carbon emissions and advancing regional decarbonization goals. Swift Air Solar also contributes to local economic development through construction jobs, long-term operations roles, and increased tax revenues. Completion of the project reinforces Origis Energy’s position as a leading solar and storage developer in the United States. The milestone reflects continued momentum in utility-scale solar investment as demand for reliable, cost-competitive renewable power accelerates nationwide.
R.Power Secures EUR 43 Million for Polish Solar PV Portfolio
R.Power has secured EUR 43 million in financing to advance its solar photovoltaic (PV) portfolio in Poland, strengthening its position in the country’s fast-growing renewable energy market. The funding will support the construction and development of multiple PV projects, expanding clean energy capacity and reinforcing grid decarbonization efforts. The investment underscores strong lender confidence in Poland’s solar sector, supported by stable regulatory frameworks and growing demand for green electricity. Once operational, the portfolio is expected to deliver significant renewable power output, helping reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy security. The financing milestone highlights continued capital inflows into Central Europe’s solar market as developers accelerate deployment to meet rising electricity demand and climate targets.
