Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Canadian Solar, Centrus, Fluor, EVE Energy, and others.
Canadian Solar Delivers First Grid-Connected Battery Energy Storage System in Japan
Canadian Solar has delivered its first grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) in Japan, marking a strategic expansion in one of Asia’s fastest-growing storage markets. The project connects to the local grid and is designed to provide frequency regulation, peak shifting, and renewable integration support. The milestone highlights increasing demand for utility-scale energy storage in Japan, where grid stability is critical as renewable capacity expands. For utilities and consumers, the BESS will enhance power reliability, flexibility, and energy security, while supporting decarbonisation goals. The deployment strengthens Canadian Solar’s position as a global provider of solar and battery storage solutions, aligning with its strategy to grow integrated clean energy offerings. The project underscores the vital role of storage in enabling Japan’s energy transition and grid modernisation efforts.
Centrus and Fluor Partner on Expansion of Ohio Uranium Enrichment Plant
Centrus Energy and Fluor Corporation have partnered to advance a major expansion of the uranium enrichment facility in Ohio, strengthening US domestic nuclear fuel capabilities. The collaboration will focus on engineering, procurement, and construction planning to scale enrichment capacity and support advanced nuclear reactor deployment. The expansion aligns with growing demand for low-enriched uranium and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to fuel next-generation reactors. By boosting domestic production, the project aims to enhance energy security, supply chain resilience, and nuclear fuel independence. The initiative also supports federal efforts to revitalise the US nuclear sector as part of a broader clean energy and decarbonisation strategy. The partnership underscores nuclear energy’s role in providing reliable, low-carbon baseload power alongside expanding renewable capacity.
EVE Energy Secures Major 10-GWh Battery Order
EVE Energy has secured a significant 10-GWh battery order, reinforcing its position in the fast-growing global energy storage and EV battery market. The large-scale contract highlights strong demand for high-capacity lithium battery solutions as utilities and industrial customers expand battery energy storage system (BESS) deployments. The order strengthens EVE Energy’s production visibility and supports continued investment in advanced battery technology and manufacturing capacity. For customers, the agreement ensures access to reliable, high-performance battery systems designed to enhance grid stability, renewable integration, and electrification efforts. The deal reflects accelerating global momentum in clean energy storage infrastructure, driven by decarbonisation targets and rising electricity demand. The milestone further positions EVE Energy as a key supplier in the transition toward low-carbon power systems and electrified transport.
