Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Infranode, Vanguard Renewables, American Steel and Aluminum, and others.
Infranode Reaches FID on 60 MW / 120 MWh BESS Project in Denmark
Infranode has taken the final investment decision (FID) on a 60 MW / 120 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Denmark, advancing grid-scale storage deployment in the Nordic market. The large-scale battery project will provide critical grid balancing services, enhance renewable energy integration, and improve power system flexibility. The 120 MWh storage capacity will support frequency regulation and help manage fluctuations from wind and solar generation, strengthening Denmark’s decarbonization efforts. The investment reflects growing confidence in energy storage as a key enabler of the clean energy transition. With FID secured, the BESS project moves into the construction phase, reinforcing Infranode’s strategy to expand sustainable infrastructure assets and support long-term renewable energy growth across Northern Europe.
Vanguard Renewables Expands Midwest Presence with E-Z Recycling Acquisition
Vanguard Renewables has expanded its Midwest footprint through the acquisition of E-Z Recycling, strengthening its organic recycling and renewable natural gas (RNG) platform. The deal enhances Vanguard’s ability to divert food waste and other organic materials from landfills and convert them into clean, low-carbon energy. By integrating E-Z Recycling’s collection and processing capabilities, Vanguard aims to increase feedstock supply for its anaerobic digestion facilities, supporting greater RNG production and greenhouse gas reduction. The acquisition aligns with the company’s growth strategy to scale sustainable waste-to-energy solutions across the US. The move reinforces Vanguard Renewables’ commitment to circular economy principles, environmental stewardship, and expanding renewable energy infrastructure while delivering economic and sustainability benefits to businesses and local communities in the Midwest.
American Steel and Aluminum Launches Domestic Ground Screw Solution to Speed US Solar Projects
American Steel and Aluminum has introduced a new domestically manufactured ground screw product designed to accelerate US solar project deployment with shorter lead times. The innovative foundation solution supports utility-scale and commercial solar installations, offering faster installation and reduced reliance on imported components. The US-made ground screws aim to improve supply chain reliability while helping developers meet tight construction schedules and domestic content requirements. By providing a durable, efficient alternative to traditional pile-driven foundations, the product enhances project flexibility across varied soil conditions. The launch reflects growing demand for locally sourced solar components as the US renewable energy sector expands. American Steel and Aluminum’s new offering strengthens domestic manufacturing capabilities and supports faster, more resilient solar infrastructure development nationwide.
