The latest renewable energy news includes announcements from ML System+, Glencore, Green Hydrogen Projects in Germany, and others.
ML System Wins PLN 17.6 Million Contracts for Two Polish Battery Projects
ML System subsidiary ML System+ has signed two contracts worth PLN 17.6 million net with BESS-Group to design and construct battery-storage systems in Warzyce and Niegłowice in Poland’s Podkarpackie region. Each facility will provide 5 MW of power and 10 MWh of storage, giving the pair combined capacity of 10 MW/20 MWh. The contracts include ML System’s proprietary NexuView SCADA energy-management system, which the company highlights for its cybersecurity capabilities. ML System has historically specialised in photovoltaic and building-integrated PV technology but is expanding into battery storage. The contracts represent concrete project awards, moving its storage strategy from technology development into commercial deployment.
Glencore Signs Polish Wind PPA with ERG Covering 820 GWh
Glencore has agreed to purchase approximately 820 GWh of wind-generated electricity in Poland from ERG under a corporate power-purchase arrangement. The agreement provides ERG with a contracted route to market for renewable generation while giving Glencore access to a defined volume of clean electricity. Corporate PPAs are increasingly important in Poland because they provide renewable developers with long-term revenue visibility outside conventional subsidy mechanisms while helping industrial buyers manage electricity costs and emissions. The contracted 820 GWh represents a substantial volume of wind output and creates a direct commercial link between renewable generation and industrial demand.
Germany Opens New Funding Call for International Green Hydrogen Projects
Germany’s economy and energy ministry has opened its third funding call for international renewable-hydrogen projects, creating another financing route for production and associated infrastructure outside Germany. The programme targets green hydrogen and derivatives that can support future German and European demand while developing international supply chains. Funding can help projects bridge the cost gap between renewable hydrogen and conventional fossil-derived hydrogen during the early commercial phase of the industry. The new call represents deployable public capital rather than a general hydrogen-policy statement and follows Germany’s efforts to secure future imports from regions with strong renewable resources. Selected projects will need to demonstrate credible renewable-power sourcing, hydrogen production technology, implementation plans and potential contribution to international supply chains.
