L&G NTR Fund Acquires 75.4MWp Solar & BESS Project in England
The L&G NTR Clean Power (Europe) Fund has acquired a 75.4MWp solar photovoltaic project paired with battery energy storage (BESS) in England, strengthening its growing renewable energy portfolio. The ready-to-build hybrid project combines solar generation with integrated storage, enabling efficient power delivery and grid support. The project highlights innovation through co-located solar and battery systems, allowing energy to be stored and dispatched when demand is highest. This hybrid model enhances flexibility, improves grid balancing, and accelerates renewable integration. Key benefits include increased clean energy capacity, reduced carbon emissions, and improved energy reliability. The addition of storage ensures optimized energy use and supports a stable, resilient power system. With a strong customer focus, the project aims to deliver consistent, cost-effective renewable energy, helping businesses and communities access reliable, sustainable power while supporting long-term decarbonisation goals.
Georgia Power Launches RFP for Up to 6GW Dispatchable Generation Capacity
Georgia Power has filed a request for proposals (RFP) to procure between 2GW and 6GW of new dispatchable generation capacity as part of its long-term resource planning strategy. The move aims to meet rapidly growing electricity demand driven by economic expansion and rising energy consumption. The initiative reflects innovation through an all-source procurement approach, enabling flexible integration of technologies such as battery storage, gas, and hybrid energy systems to ensure reliable, on-demand power supply. Key benefits include enhanced grid reliability, improved energy resilience, and the ability to balance intermittent renewable energy sources. This supports a stable transition toward cleaner energy while maintaining system flexibility. With a strong customer focus, the RFP is designed to deliver affordable, reliable electricity to consumers, ensuring uninterrupted power supply and long-term value as demand continues to rise.
Limes Secures Environmental Approval for 150MW BESS Project in Chile
Limes Renewable Energy has obtained environmental approval for its 150MW standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) project, known as BESS Ganso, in Chile’s Valparaiso region—one of the country’s key electricity demand centres. The project, featuring a five-hour storage duration, is expected to require an investment of around USD 120 million. The development highlights innovation through fast-track permitting and large-scale standalone battery deployment, enabling efficient energy storage without the need for a full environmental impact assessment. It also strengthens Limes’ growing pipeline of solar and storage assets across Chile. Key benefits include improved grid flexibility, enhanced renewable energy integration, and reduced curtailment by storing excess power for later use, supporting Chile’s clean energy transition. With a strong customer focus, the project aims to deliver reliable, dispatchable clean energy, ensuring stable power supply, better energy management, and long-term value for utilities and end-users.
