Green Genius Commissions 121-MW Solar Park in Latvia, Plans Battery Storage
Green Genius has brought online a 121-MW solar photovoltaic park in Latvia, marking one of the country’s largest solar projects to date. The company also plans to add battery energy storage, enhancing flexibility and maximising the value of the renewable generation. The project represents a major investment in the Baltic clean energy market, supporting Latvia’s efforts to strengthen energy independence and reduce emissions. For customers and the grid, the solar park will deliver reliable, low-carbon electricity, while the planned storage will improve grid stability and peak management. The development highlights accelerating solar-plus-storage deployment in Northern Europe and reinforces Green Genius’s strategy to scale utility-scale renewable assets across the region in support of the energy transition.
MaxSolar and Entrix Partner on Grid-Supportive Battery Project in Germany
MaxSolar and Entrix have announced a collaboration to develop a grid-supportive battery energy storage system (BESS) in Germany, aimed at strengthening power system flexibility and stability. The project will focus on optimised battery operations that support grid balancing, congestion management, and renewable energy integration. The partnership combines MaxSolar’s expertise in renewable project development with Entrix’s strengths in energy trading and battery optimisation software. As Germany rapidly expands solar and wind capacity, such grid-supportive batteries are becoming critical to manage volatility and reduce curtailment. For consumers and grid operators, the project is expected to deliver more reliable electricity supply, improved system efficiency, and lower balancing costs. The initiative highlights growing investment in intelligent energy storage solutions supporting Germany’s energy transition and net-zero goals.
Engie and Return Seal 100-MW Battery Flexibility Deal in Germany
Engie has partnered with Return to secure a 100-MW battery energy storage flexibility agreement in Germany, strengthening the country’s ability to balance a renewables-heavy power system. The deal covers the optimisation and market participation of large-scale batteries, providing frequency regulation, peak management, and congestion relief services. The agreement reflects rising demand for flexibility solutions as Germany accelerates solar and wind deployment. By leveraging battery storage, the partnership will help stabilise the grid, reduce renewable curtailment, and improve system efficiency. For consumers, the project supports reliable electricity supply and lower balancing costs, while enabling greater penetration of clean energy. The deal underscores continued investment in utility-scale battery storage and highlights Engie’s strategy to expand its flexibility and energy management portfolio in key European markets.
