Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Qair, Elecnor, Q Energy, and others.
Qair Secures CfDs for 190 MW Solar Projects
Qair has won Contracts for Difference (CfDs) for 190 MW of solar projects, strengthening its renewable energy portfolio and long-term revenue visibility. The awarded capacity secures a fixed strike price for electricity generation, reducing market exposure and enhancing project bankability. The 190 MW solar portfolio will contribute significant clean power to the grid once operational, supporting national decarbonization targets and accelerating utility-scale solar deployment. By locking in CfD support, Qair can advance construction timelines and attract financing under stable regulatory conditions. The award underscores continued momentum in competitive renewable energy auctions, with solar developers leveraging CfDs to scale capacity, manage price volatility, and drive investment in large-scale photovoltaic projects.
Elecnor Wins Two Additional Synchrogrid (Syncon) Contracts in Ireland
Elecnor has secured two additional Syncon (synchronous condenser) contracts in Ireland, reinforcing its role in strengthening grid stability as renewable energy penetration rises. The new awards expand Elecnor’s footprint in Ireland’s grid modernization efforts, where synchronous condenser technology is critical for maintaining system inertia and voltage control. Syncon installations help stabilize electricity networks by providing essential grid services, particularly as conventional fossil fuel generation declines and wind power capacity grows. Ireland’s energy transition strategy places strong emphasis on grid resilience to support high levels of variable renewable energy. The latest contract wins highlight continued investment in transmission infrastructure and advanced grid technologies to ensure reliable, low-carbon power delivery across Ireland.
Q Energy Builds 11 MW Solar PV Park in France
Q Energy is constructing an 11 MW photovoltaic (PV) park in France, expanding its renewable energy portfolio in the country’s growing solar market. The utility-scale project will contribute clean electricity to the grid, supporting France’s energy transition and decarbonization targets. The 11 MW solar park is expected to generate enough renewable power to supply thousands of households while reducing carbon emissions. The development reflects continued momentum in France’s PV sector as developers accelerate deployment under supportive regulatory frameworks and competitive auction mechanisms. The project strengthens Q Energy’s position in the French renewables market and underscores ongoing investment in utility-scale solar infrastructure across Europe to meet rising electricity demand sustainably.
