Today’s renewable energy news includes updates from Vestas, Victoria, Moment Energy, among others.
Vestas Secures 117MW Wind Turbine Orders in Germany
Vestas has secured three onshore wind turbine orders in Germany totalling 117MW as part of its Q2 intake. The projects include the 31MW Nienwohlde project for BVNON Dienstleistungs- und Projektentwicklungs GmbH, the 50MW Vogelsberg project with Boreas Energy, and the 36MW Münk Arbach project for ENP Neue Energien GmbH. The contracts include advanced turbine models and long-term service agreements of up to 25 years, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability. Deliveries are scheduled from 2027, with commissioning extending into 2028. The deals highlight continued investment in Germany’s wind sector and innovation in high-capacity turbine technology. They support energy security, improve renewable integration, and deliver long-term economic and environmental benefits through reliable, customer-focused clean energy solutions.
Victoria Invests $124m in Hastings Offshore Wind Terminal
The Victorian Government has committed over $124 million to advance the Victorian Renewable Energy Terminal at the Port of Hastings. The funding will support environmental assessments and the Environmental Effects Statement process for the proposed offshore wind port. The terminal is designed to enable turbine assembly and logistics for offshore wind projects, forming a critical part of Victoria’s renewable energy infrastructure. The initiative aligns with plans to launch a 2GW offshore wind auction in August, capable of powering around 1.5 million homes. The investment highlights strong government backing and innovation in port-based wind infrastructure. It is expected to attract billions in private investment, create over 2,300 jobs at peak, and deliver long-term benefits including energy security, lower electricity costs, and sustainable economic growth.
Moment Energy Raises Over $40m to Scale Second-Life Battery Storage
Moment Energy has raised more than $40 million in a Series B funding round to expand its second-life battery energy storage business across North America. The round, led by Evok Innovations with participation from investors including Liberty Mutual and Tokyo Gas, brings total funding to over $100 million. The investment will support manufacturing expansion and deployment of grid-scale storage systems using repurposed electric vehicle batteries. This approach addresses supply chain constraints while lowering costs and improving sustainability by extending battery life cycles. Moment Energy’s technology enables rapid deployment of energy storage for data centres, utilities and industrial users, with systems designed for up to 30 years of lifespan and significantly lower operating costs. The funding highlights growing innovation in circular energy solutions, strengthening grid resilience, reducing waste, and supporting scalable, low-carbon power infrastructure.
