Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Mirova, Return, PGE, and others.
Mirova Secures Financing for 156 MWp Solar Farms in Greece
Mirova has secured financing to develop 156 MWp of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Greece, reinforcing investor confidence in the country’s expanding renewable energy market. The portfolio of solar farms will supply clean electricity to the national grid, supporting Greece’s decarbonization and energy security goals. The 156 MWp solar projects are expected to contribute significantly to Greece’s renewable energy targets, reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuel imports. Strong policy support and growing demand for sustainable power continue to attract international capital to the Greek solar sector. The financing milestone underscores Mirova’s strategy to scale utility-scale renewable assets across Europe while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
Return Acquires 318 MWh of Shovel-Ready Battery Storage Projects in Spain
Energy investor Return has acquired 318 MWh of shovel-ready battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Spain, strengthening its position in the rapidly growing Iberian storage market. The portfolio is ready for construction and is expected to support grid stability and renewable energy integration. The 318 MWh battery storage capacity will provide balancing services, peak shaving, and flexibility to Spain’s electricity network as solar and wind installations continue to expand. Spain has emerged as a key market for large-scale BESS projects due to rising renewable penetration and grid modernization needs. The acquisition aligns with Return’s strategy to scale energy storage investments and accelerate the transition toward a more resilient, low-carbon power system in Southern Europe.
PGE Selects Polish Consortium to Build 400 MW Battery Energy Storage System
Poland’s state-controlled utility PGE has chosen a Polish consortium in a tender to construct a 400 MW battery energy storage system (BESS), marking a major step in strengthening the country’s grid flexibility. The large-scale storage project will support renewable energy integration and enhance power system stability. The 400 MW BESS will provide balancing services, frequency regulation, and peak demand management as Poland accelerates wind and solar deployment. Grid-scale battery storage is increasingly critical to modernizing the national electricity network and reducing reliance on conventional generation. The tender outcome highlights growing domestic expertise in energy storage construction and underscores PGE’s strategy to expand flexible infrastructure in line with Poland’s energy transition and decarbonization goals.
