Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on NKT JV, RWE, Atmos, RAG, Eurowind Energy, among others.
NKT JV Opens Taiwan Offshore Cable Factory
NKT’s joint venture has inaugurated a new subsea and offshore power cable factory in Taiwan, marking a major investment in Asia’s growing offshore wind supply chain. The facility brings advanced cable-manufacturing technology closer to regional customers, improving delivery timelines, reducing logistics costs and strengthening energy security. Designed for high-voltage export and array cables, the plant enhances production capacity for rapidly expanding wind projects in Taiwan and across APAC. The innovation-focused site integrates modern automation and quality-control systems to ensure reliable, efficient output. The JV’s expansion supports local industry development, creates skilled jobs and boosts the resilience of the offshore wind ecosystem, enabling faster, more cost-effective project execution for developers.
RWE Powers Up Modernised Lasbek Wind Site
RWE has officially commissioned the modernised Lasbek wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, completing a full repowering that replaces older turbines with advanced, high-efficiency models. The investment boosts clean-energy output, extends asset life, and enhances reliability while keeping the project within its original land footprint. Customers and communities benefit from increased renewable electricity, lower carbon emissions, and reduced noise due to improved turbine design. The upgraded technology features larger rotors, higher towers and digital control systems that optimise performance and cut operating costs. The project supports Germany’s energy-transition strategy and highlights RWE’s commitment to innovation, system efficiency and long-term renewable growth through both repowering and new development.decarbonisation, and showcases RWE’s long-term strategy to scale renewable capacity through repowering as well as new builds.
Atmos Selects Early-Works Contractor for 400-MW Australian Battery
Atmos Renewables has appointed Avic Australia as the early-works contractor for its 400-MW/800-MWh Big Beach Battery project in Victoria. The contract covers engineering, site preparation, permitting support and procurement planning, enabling the project to move efficiently toward full construction. The investment supports Atmos’ strategy to deploy large-scale grid-firming assets that enhance renewable integration and system resilience. The battery will use advanced, fast-response storage technology to reduce congestion, improve reliability and lower wholesale price volatility. Customers benefit from greater grid stability and increased renewable availability. The move also signals strong sector growth, with Atmos positioning itself as a key player in Australia’s accelerating energy-storage market.
RAG Austria’s 100-MW Cross-Border Hydrogen Project Gains PCI Status
RAG Austria has secured Project of Common Interest (PCI) status from the European Commission for its 100-MW H2EU+Store cross-border hydrogen initiative. The project aims to produce green hydrogen in Ukraine, transport it through Slovakia and store it in Austrian underground caverns, using advanced electrolysis and large-scale geological storage technology. PCI recognition supports accelerated permitting and access to EU funding, strengthening investment certainty and enabling faster deployment. The project focuses on delivering secure, affordable, renewable hydrogen to European industrial customers, improving energy independence and decarbonisation. Benefits include enhanced cross-border energy resilience, scalable hydrogen infrastructure and a strategic pathway for integrating Eastern European renewable resources into the EU hydrogen market.
Eurowind Energy Exits 400-MW California Battery Project
Eurowind Energy has withdrawn from its 400-MW Big Rock battery energy storage project in California, transferring full ownership to partner Clearway Energy Group. The exit allows Clearway to streamline development and accelerate investment decisions as it advances permitting and grid-connection work. The project uses large-scale lithium-ion technology to support California’s clean-energy transition by supplying flexible, dispatchable capacity during peak demand. Customer benefits include improved grid reliability, reduced curtailment of solar power and enhanced system stability. Eurowind’s exit reflects a strategic focus on its core European markets, while Clearway’s continued commitment underscores strong market confidence in long-duration storage growth in the U.S.
