Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from EDF, ACEN, Tresca, and others.
EDF to Supply BAE Systems and NatWest From 49.9-MW UK Solar Farm
EDF has signed agreements to supply renewable electricity to BAE Systems and NatWest from a 49.9-MW solar farm in the UK, strengthening corporate renewable energy sourcing. The solar project will provide long-term, low-carbon power to support both companies’ decarbonization and net-zero goals. The arrangements offer price stability and revenue certainty, supporting the solar farm’s financing and long-term operation. For customers, the deal delivers clean electricity, reduced carbon footprints, and protection against power market volatility. The project also contributes to the UK’s solar capacity growth, supporting energy security and emissions reduction. The agreements highlight the continued expansion of corporate solar PPAs in the UK and EDF’s role in delivering reliable, customer-focused renewable energy solutions.
ACEN Acquires Full Control of 819-MW Indian Renewables Portfolio
ACEN has taken full ownership of an 819-MW renewable energy portfolio in India following the buyout of its joint venture partner, strengthening its position in one of Asia’s fastest-growing clean energy markets. The portfolio comprises operational and under-construction solar and wind assets, providing immediate scale and stable cash flows. The transaction underscores ACEN’s continued investment commitment to India, aligning with its strategy to expand in high-growth markets and build a diversified renewables base. For customers and the grid, the assets will deliver reliable, low-carbon electricity, supporting energy security and emissions reduction. The move also enhances operational efficiency and strategic control, enabling ACEN to accelerate optimization, innovation, and future expansion. The acquisition supports India’s renewable energy targets and reinforces ACEN’s role in advancing the energy transition.
Tresca Wins Owner’s Engineer Role for Sunwafe’s 20-GW Wafer Plant in Spain
Tresca has been awarded the owner’s engineer (OE) contract for Sunwafe’s planned 20-GW solar wafer manufacturing plant in Spain, a major step in building Europe’s domestic solar supply chain. The scope includes technical oversight, design review, and project management support through development and construction. The project represents significant industrial and clean-tech investment, aimed at strengthening European energy security and reducing reliance on imported solar components. For manufacturers and customers, local wafer production supports supply resilience, shorter lead times, and lower carbon footprint across the solar value chain. Tresca’s appointment highlights the growing role of specialist engineering services in delivering large-scale energy manufacturing infrastructure. The initiative aligns with EU goals to scale renewable manufacturing capacity and accelerate the energy transition.
