Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from MaxSolar, Saft, Quitzow II project in Brandenburg, Cero Generation, EDP, among others.
MaxSolar, Saft Partner on 30 MW German BESS
MaxSolar and Saft have formed a partnership to develop battery energy storage systems across Europe, beginning with the Quitzow II project in Brandenburg, Germany. Developed by Denker & Wulf AG, the facility will provide 30 MW of power and 76.5 MWh of storage. MaxSolar will deliver the project on a turnkey basis as EPC contractor, while Saft will supply advanced battery storage technology. Quitzow II will be constructed alongside an existing wind farm and substation, allowing the project to utilise existing grid infrastructure. The partnership was formalised following discussions at Intersolar Europe and is intended to support additional BESS developments across key European markets. MaxSolar currently has a project pipeline of 6.1 GW and operates from 6 locations across Germany.
Cero Closes Financing for 190 MW UK Solar-Storage Cluster
Cero Generation has reached financial close on the refinancing and construction financing of its 190-MW Larks Green solar and battery energy storage system cluster in South Gloucestershire, UK. The financing supports the operational 50-MW Larks Green solar farm, its co-located 49.5-MW/99-MWh BESS, and the neighbouring 90-MW Bramley solar project. Larks Green became the UK’s first transmission-connected solar farm when commissioned in 2023, while construction of its battery began in 2025. The transaction brings the combined solar and storage assets under a financing structure, supporting Cero’s continued expansion in the UK renewable energy market. The 190-MW cluster demonstrates the growing role of co-located solar and battery infrastructure in strengthening grid flexibility, renewable integration and Britain’s transition toward a low-carbon electricity system.
EDP to Build 8 MW Battery for Polish Logistics Hub
EDP’s Polish unit will install an 8-MW/16-MWh standalone battery energy storage system at CLIP Group’s logistics centre in Swarzędz, Poland. The project will strengthen the facility’s energy flexibility while supporting more efficient electricity management and renewable power integration. With 8 MW of power capacity and 16 MWh of storage, the BESS will enable CLIP to store electricity and use it when demand or market conditions are more favourable. The investment expands cooperation between EDP and CLIP as large industrial and logistics operators increasingly adopt battery storage to optimise energy consumption. The project also contributes to Poland’s rapidly developing energy-storage sector, where flexible capacity is becoming increasingly important for balancing renewable generation, improving grid stability and supporting the country’s broader energy transition.
