Inlyte to Supply Iron-Sodium Battery for NTS Data Centre in Bern
Inlyte will deliver an advanced iron-sodium battery system for an NTS data centre in Bern, Switzerland, marking a key step in deploying long-duration energy storage for critical infrastructure. The project highlights growing demand for safer, non-lithium battery technologies in the data centre sector. The iron-sodium battery offers enhanced safety, long cycle life, and reduced reliance on scarce raw materials compared to conventional lithium-ion systems. Designed to provide reliable backup power and grid support, the system aligns with sustainability goals and energy resilience requirements. The deployment underscores innovation in alternative battery chemistries as operators seek cost-effective, low-carbon storage solutions to ensure uninterrupted power supply and support renewable energy integration.
Cosmo Energy Breaks Ground on 4 MW of Battery Storage Projects in Japan
Cosmo Energy has started construction on 4 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Japan, expanding its footprint in the country’s growing grid-scale storage market. The projects are designed to enhance grid stability, support renewable energy integration, and provide balancing services in regions with increasing solar and wind capacity. Japan is accelerating battery deployment to strengthen energy security and manage power supply fluctuations following market reforms and renewable expansion. The 4 MW BESS installations will help optimize electricity supply, reduce curtailment, and improve reliability across local grids. The milestone reflects Cosmo Energy’s broader clean energy strategy, reinforcing investment in energy storage infrastructure to support Japan’s transition toward a more resilient and low-carbon power system.
Iraq Set to Power Up 1 GW Solar Project, Boosting Renewable Energy Capacity
Iraq is preparing to bring a 1 GW solar power project online, marking a major milestone in the country’s renewable energy expansion. The large-scale photovoltaic (PV) development is expected to significantly increase clean electricity generation and reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based power. The 1 GW solar project will support Iraq’s efforts to diversify its energy mix, strengthen grid stability, and address chronic power shortages. As part of broader energy reforms, the country is accelerating investment in utility-scale solar to meet rising electricity demand and lower carbon emissions. The upcoming commissioning underscores Iraq’s commitment to scaling renewable energy infrastructure and advancing its long-term energy transition strategy across the Middle East.
TurnOnGreen Partners with Foster City to Expand EV Charging Infrastructure
TurnOnGreen has partnered with the City of Foster City, California, to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, supporting the region’s clean transportation goals. The collaboration will deploy additional EV charging stations across key municipal locations, improving public access to reliable and convenient charging. The project aligns with California’s broader push toward zero-emission vehicles and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. By enhancing local EV infrastructure, Foster City aims to encourage EV adoption among residents, businesses, and visitors while strengthening its sustainability initiatives. TurnOnGreen’s involvement highlights growing public-private partnerships driving EV charging network expansion. The initiative supports grid modernization, clean mobility, and long-term climate action strategies across California’s rapidly evolving electric vehicle market.
