Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Alight’s, Enerland, and others.
Alight’s Finnish Pipeline Surpasses 1 GW with New Solar Project Acquisition
Alight has expanded its renewable footprint in the Nordics, with its Finnish solar development pipeline now exceeding 1 GW following the acquisition of additional projects. The deal strengthens the company’s position in Finland’s fast-growing utility-scale solar market. The expanded pipeline supports rising demand for corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) and long-term clean energy supply in the region. For businesses and consumers, the projects will deliver cost-competitive, low-carbon electricity, enhancing energy security and price stability. The move reflects continued institutional investment in Nordic renewables, driven by strong policy support and electrification trends. The acquisition aligns with Alight’s strategy to scale solar capacity across Europe, reinforcing its role in accelerating the energy transition and net-zero ambitions in Finland and beyond.
Southern France 6-MWp Solar Energy Community Secures Financing
A 6-MWp solar energy community project in southern France has secured financing, paving the way for construction and local clean power generation. The scheme is designed to supply renewable electricity directly to residents and businesses, promoting shared ownership and local energy participation. The financing milestone highlights growing support for community solar and decentralised energy models in France, backed by favourable policy frameworks and citizen engagement. For participants, the project offers lower energy costs, price stability, and reduced carbon footprints, while strengthening local energy resilience. The initiative also contributes to France’s broader renewable expansion and decarbonisation strategy. By combining local investment with solar generation, the project underscores the increasing role of energy communities in accelerating the transition to a more inclusive, low-carbon power system.
Enerland Secures Funding for 20-MWp Agri-PV Project in Italy
Spain-based Enerland has secured financing for a 20-MWp agrivoltaic (agri-PV) project in Italy, advancing the integration of renewable energy with agricultural production. The project will combine solar power generation with active farming, optimising land use while supporting Italy’s clean energy targets. The funding milestone reflects growing investor confidence in agri-PV solutions, which enable dual land utilisation and promote sustainable rural development. For farmers and local communities, the project offers additional revenue streams, energy cost savings, and climate resilience benefits. For the power system, it delivers low-carbon electricity that supports decarbonisation and energy security. The initiative aligns with broader European efforts to scale innovative solar technologies and accelerate the energy transition through smart, land-efficient renewable infrastructure.
