Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Flower, Terra One, Microporous, among others.
Flower Advances 100MW Battery Storage Project in Germany
Flower has advanced a 100MW/400MWh battery energy storage system project in Bergedorf, Hamburg, to ready-to-build status as part of its expansion in Germany. The company confirmed that land agreements, grid connections and permits have now been secured, with operations targeted for late 2028. The large-scale battery project is designed to support Germany’s accelerating renewable energy transition by improving grid stability and enabling greater integration of wind and solar power. Flower said the Bergedorf facility is one of several storage projects under development across Germany, alongside a recently acquired 63MW/257MWh project in Saxony-Anhalt. The development highlights growing investment and innovation in European energy storage infrastructure. By combining AI-driven energy optimisation with grid-scale battery systems, Flower aims to enhance electricity system flexibility, strengthen energy security, and support the shift toward a more resilient and affordable clean energy network across Germany and Europe.
Terra One Secures Financing for 15MW German Battery Project
Terra One has achieved financial close for a 15MW/30MWh battery energy storage project in Lower Saxony, Germany, with construction scheduled to begin in mid-May 2026. The facility, located in Visbek, is expected to become operational in the final quarter of 2026. The project secured financing through a flexible connection agreement with EWE AG. Non-recourse debt financing was provided by Ascory Bank, while the majority of equity investment came from Aviva Investors. Terra One said the battery system will operate in merchant mode using its AI-powered OneKraftwerk optimisation platform, highlighting innovation in energy trading and storage management. The project supports Germany’s renewable energy integration efforts by improving grid flexibility, energy security, and efficient management of intermittent wind and solar generation.
Microporous Secures Funding for 65GWh Virginia Battery Separator Facility
Microporous has secured final funding for its major lithium-ion battery separator manufacturing facility in Danville, Virginia, enabling construction to begin imminently. The plant is expected to support approximately 65GWh of annual battery production capacity once fully operational, serving electric vehicles, industrial applications and grid-scale energy storage markets. The financing package is backed by Trent Capital Partners, Eagle Point Credit Management and Elda River Capital Management. The project forms part of a broader $1.35 billion investment at the Southern Virginia Megasite and is expected to create around 1,800 to 2,000 jobs in the region. The facility will manufacture advanced lithium-ion battery separators, a critical component for battery safety and performance. The development highlights growing investment and innovation in domestic US battery supply chains as demand accelerates for EVs and large-scale energy storage systems.
