Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Tauron, Boralex, Six Nations of the Grand River, Elmya, and others.
Poland’s Tauron Commissions 54 MW Solar Farm, Expanding Renewable Portfolio
Polish utility Tauron has launched a 54 MW solar farm, strengthening its renewable energy portfolio and supporting Poland’s clean power transition. The utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) project will supply low-carbon electricity to the national grid, helping reduce reliance on coal-fired generation. The 54 MW solar farm forms part of Tauron’s broader strategy to diversify its energy mix and accelerate decarbonization. Poland has been rapidly expanding solar capacity in recent years, driven by policy support and the need to modernize its power sector. The commission underscores Tauron’s commitment to scaling renewable energy investments and enhancing energy security, while contributing to national and EU climate targets through increased solar power generation.
Boralex and Six Nations of the Grand River Energise 1.2 GWh Ontario BESS
Boralex, in partnership with the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation, has energised a 1.2 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Ontario, marking one of Canada’s largest grid-scale storage projects. The facility will enhance grid reliability, provide capacity and ancillary services, and support integration of renewable energy across the province. The 1.2 GWh Ontario BESS strengthens long-term collaboration between Boralex and the Six Nations, promoting Indigenous participation in clean energy infrastructure. The project aligns with Ontario’s strategy to modernise its electricity system and manage peak demand as renewable generation expands. The milestone highlights growing investment in large-scale battery storage across Canada to improve energy security and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon power grid.
Elmya Breaks Ground on 30 MWp Solar and 40 MWh BESS Project in Scotland
Spain’s Elmya has broken ground on a 30 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) project paired with a 40 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Scotland, expanding its renewable energy footprint in the UK market. The hybrid solar-plus-storage facility is designed to deliver clean electricity while enhancing grid flexibility and stability. The 30 MWp solar farm will generate low-carbon power, while the 40 MWh BESS will provide energy shifting, peak management, and balancing services to optimize output and support renewable integration. Hybrid projects are increasingly vital to the UK’s energy transition strategy. The milestone underscores Elmya’s growth in utility-scale solar and storage development, contributing to Scotland’s net zero ambitions and strengthening the UK’s renewable energy infrastructure.
