Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from ContourGlobal , Noon Energy, Chile’s Renewable Energy, and others.
ContourGlobal Enters Greece with Acquisition of Solar and Battery Storage Portfolio
Global power producer ContourGlobal has made its Greek market debut by acquiring a portfolio comprising 37 MWp of solar capacity and 2 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking a strategic investment in hybrid renewable assets. The acquisition supports ContourGlobal’s expansion strategy in Europe and its focus on flexible, low-carbon generation. With a strong customer focus, the solar-plus-storage portfolio is designed to deliver reliable, dispatchable clean electricity, helping stabilise supply and manage peak demand. The assets leverage innovative photovoltaic technology combined with large-scale battery storage to enable energy shifting and grid-balancing services. Key benefits include reduced carbon emissions, enhanced energy security, improved grid flexibility, and long-term value creation, reinforcing Greece’s renewable energy growth and the rising role of integrated solar and storage solutions.
Noon Energy Demonstrates Battery System Delivering Over 100 Hours of Energy Storage
US-based clean energy startup Noon Energy has successfully demonstrated a battery system capable of delivering more than 100 hours of energy storage, marking a major innovation milestone in long-duration energy storage technology. The demonstration highlights growing investment interest in solutions that can support renewable-heavy power systems over multiple days. With a strong customer focus, Noon Energy’s technology is designed to help utilities, grid operators, and renewable developers ensure reliable, round-the-clock electricity while reducing reliance on fossil fuel backup. The system offers scalable, low-cost storage aimed at complementing solar and wind generation. Key benefits include improved grid resilience, enhanced energy security, reduced curtailment of renewables, and lower long-term system costs, positioning long-duration storage as a critical enabler of deep decarbonisation and net-zero power systems.
Chile’s Renewable Energy Curtailment Falls to 6.2 TWh in 2025
Chile’s renewable energy curtailment declined to 6.2 TWh in 2025, signalling improved grid management and growing investment in transmission and flexibility solutions. The reduction reflects progress in integrating large volumes of solar and wind capacity, particularly in northern Chile, where congestion has historically constrained output. With a strong customer focus, lower curtailment helps ensure more clean electricity reaches households, businesses, and industrial users, supporting stable and affordable power supply. Ongoing innovation in grid upgrades, battery energy storage systems, and operational optimisation is playing a key role in improving system efficiency. Key benefits include better utilisation of renewable assets, reduced energy waste, lower carbon emissions, and enhanced energy security. The trend underscores Chile’s continued progress toward a more resilient, efficient, and low-carbon power system as renewable capacity continues to expand.
