Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from EnBW, Adelsheim solar park, Low Carbon, among others.
EnBW Commissions 8.8 MW Solar Park with Battery Storage
EnBW has commissioned the 8.8-MW Adelsheim solar park in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, integrating a 6.8-MWh battery energy storage system to enhance grid flexibility and renewable energy utilisation. Built on a former military site covering approximately 8 hectares, the project is expected to generate enough clean electricity to supply around 3,300 households annually. The co-located battery will store excess solar generation and release electricity during periods of higher demand, improving grid stability and reducing renewable curtailment. The Adelsheim project forms part of EnBW’s strategy to combine solar generation with energy storage to support Germany’s energy transition. It also demonstrates the growing role of hybrid renewable energy projects in delivering reliable, low-carbon electricity while maximising the value of solar assets.
Low Carbon Appoints Entrix to Optimise 8.8 MW Poland BESS
Low Carbon has selected German energy trader Entrix to commercially optimise its standalone 8.8-MW/17.6-MWh Przeworsk battery energy storage system in southeastern Poland. The project, located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, has reached ready-to-build status and is targeting commercial operations in 2027. Entrix will optimise the asset across Poland’s day-ahead, intraday and ancillary services markets to maximise revenues under a fully merchant business model. Developed through Low Carbon’s Polish platform LC Energia in partnership with Evercon and InCommodities, the project achieved financial close earlier this year. Trina will supply the battery technology, while Goldbeck Solar will provide engineering, procurement and construction services. The project supports Poland’s growing energy storage market and renewable energy integration.
China’s 150 GW Battery Fleet Faces Utilisation Challenge
China has built the world’s largest battery energy storage fleet, reaching nearly 150 GW of installed lithium-ion BESS by the first quarter of 2026, yet utilisation remains below its full potential, according to Ember. The country added 18.76 GW/65.46 GWh of new energy storage in December 2025 alone and has raised its 2030 target to 300 GW. Standalone systems accounted for nearly 85 percent of new installations between January and April 2026 after policy reforms. Ember estimates that closing a 100-cycle annual utilisation gap could shift an additional 9.5 TWh of electricity each year, while increasing utilisation to 350 cycles annually could unlock 23 TWh of extra renewable energy for peak demand, improving grid flexibility and storage economics.
