Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Root-Power, Linea Energy, Tesla, SPIE CPS Energy, among others.
Root-Power Secures Grid Agreements for 942 MW of UK Battery Storage
Root-Power has secured grid connection agreements for 942 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity across the UK, marking a major step in scaling flexible power infrastructure. The portfolio highlights advanced battery storage technology designed to provide rapid-response balancing, frequency regulation, and peak-shaving services. Innovation lies in aggregating multiple grid-connected storage sites to support system resilience and renewable integration. From an investment perspective, the grid agreements significantly de-risk the projects and unlock future capital deployment into construction and equipment. Consumer benefits include improved grid stability, reduced curtailment of renewable generation, and more efficient power pricing over time. Strategically, the milestone aligns with Root-Power’s focus on developing large-scale flexibility assets. The secured connections underpin clear growth plans, positioning the company to deliver a sizable UK BESS pipeline supporting net-zero and energy-security goals.
Linea Energy Secures Funding for 235-MW Battery Storage Project in Texas
Linea Energy has obtained financing for a 235-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Texas, advancing large-scale grid flexibility in the ERCOT market. The project features advanced lithium-ion battery technology designed to deliver fast-response capacity, peak-shaving, and grid-balancing services. Innovation is reflected in deploying utility-scale storage to support renewable integration and manage price volatility in a high-renewables market. From an investment perspective, the secured funding enables construction and signals strong lender confidence in standalone storage assets. Consumer benefits include improved grid reliability, reduced risk of outages, and more efficient electricity pricing. Strategically, the project aligns with Linea Energy’s focus on flexible power infrastructure in key US markets. The financing underpins clear growth plans, strengthening Linea Energy’s battery pipeline and supporting continued expansion across Texas and beyond.
Tesla and SPIE Partner on Energy Storage Projects
Tesla and SPIE have joined forces to deliver energy storage projects, combining advanced battery energy storage technology with large-scale engineering and integration expertise. The partnership leverages Tesla’s utility-scale battery systems and SPIE’s capabilities in design, installation, and grid connection. Innovation is reflected in integrated delivery models that accelerate deployment and optimise system performance. From an investment perspective, the collaboration supports capital-efficient execution of battery projects as demand for flexibility assets rises. Consumer benefits include improved grid stability, better integration of renewable generation, and reduced risk of power disruptions. Strategically, the alliance strengthens both companies’ positions in the fast-growing energy storage market. The partnership underpins clear growth plans, enabling scaled rollout of storage solutions to support decarbonisation and resilient power systems across key markets.
