Customer focus will include utilities and grid operators managing fluctuating demand. Benefits include enhanced grid reliability, reduced fossil fuel reliance, and significant support for Japan’s decarbonisation and energy security objectives.
Aukera Secures Planning Consent for 250-MW UK Battery Project
Aukera Energy has obtained planning approval for a 250-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in the UK, marking a major milestone in its growing energy storage portfolio. The project will support the UK’s grid flexibility and decarbonisation goals, providing services such as peak demand management, frequency regulation, and improved integration of renewables. Aukera’s strategy focuses on advancing large-scale storage solutions that complement wind and solar growth across the country. The investment will deploy advanced lithium-ion technology, designed for efficiency and long-duration performance. Customer focus includes utilities and grid operators managing intermittent supply. Benefits include strengthening grid reliability, reducing curtailment of renewable energy, and contributing to the UK’s net-zero and energy security objectives.
Consilium Secures Land for 40-MWp Solar Projects in Germany
Consilium Energiekontor has secured land to develop 40 MWp of solar projects across Germany, strengthening its footprint in the country’s renewable energy sector. The projects will contribute to Germany’s energy transition and climate neutrality goals, with construction expected to begin following permitting and grid connection approvals. Consilium’s strategy emphasizes mid-sized, distributed solar parks that support local communities while feeding clean power into the grid. The investment underlines the firm’s focus on scalable and sustainable energy assets, leveraging modern photovoltaic technology for efficiency and performance. Customers, including municipalities and regional utilities, stand to benefit from lower emissions and stable green energy supply. These projects also align with Germany’s accelerated renewables expansion targets under its Energiewende policy.
Endesa Commissions 24-MW Repowered Wind Farm in Spain with Blade Recycling
Endesa, through its renewable arm Enel Green Power España (EGPE), has brought online a 24-MW repowered wind farm in Spain. The project replaces older turbines with modern, more efficient units, boosting clean power generation while reducing environmental impact. A key innovation is the recycling of decommissioned turbine blades, which are being repurposed for construction materials, marking a significant step in circular economy practices. The repowered facility will generate enough electricity to supply thousands of households annually, reinforcing Spain’s renewable targets. Endesa’s investment reflects its strategy of upgrading existing assets to improve performance, cut costs, and extend operational life. This initiative showcases the company’s dual focus on innovation and sustainability, while supporting the EU’s green energy transition.
