Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Zelestra, RES, Yess Power, and others.
Zelestra Begins Construction of Two Solar Projects in Texas
Zelestra has started construction of two utility-scale solar projects in Texas, expanding renewable energy capacity in one of the fastest-growing clean power markets in the United States. The projects will contribute significant solar generation to the state’s grid, supporting rising electricity demand and decarbonization goals. Located in Texas, the solar farms are expected to supply clean electricity to thousands of homes and businesses while helping reduce carbon emissions. Utility-scale solar development continues to accelerate in the state due to strong solar resources, supportive market conditions, and growing corporate demand for renewable energy. The projects strengthen Zelestra’s North American renewable energy portfolio and highlight ongoing investment in large-scale solar infrastructure to support a resilient, low-carbon power system.
RES Surpasses 3 GW Milestone in Solar and Battery Storage Projects
Renewable Energy Systems (RES) has surpassed a major milestone by delivering more than 3 GW of solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects globally. The achievement highlights the company’s expanding role in developing and deploying large-scale renewable and energy storage infrastructure. The 3 GW portfolio includes utility-scale solar farms and grid-scale battery storage facilities that support renewable integration, grid stability, and decarbonization goals across multiple markets. Growing demand for solar power and flexible energy storage solutions continues to accelerate project deployment worldwide. The milestone reflects RES’s long-term strategy to scale clean energy development and strengthen energy transition efforts, as utilities and governments invest heavily in renewable generation and advanced energy storage technologies.
Yess Power Eyes Balkan Expansion After North Macedonia BESS Project
Yess Power is planning to expand its battery energy storage system (BESS) footprint across the Balkans following progress on its project in North Macedonia. The company sees strong opportunities in the region as countries accelerate renewable energy deployment and seek flexible grid solutions. The North Macedonia BESS project marks a key step in Yess Power’s regional strategy, demonstrating the role of large-scale battery storage in stabilizing power systems and supporting wind and solar integration. Growing electricity demand and energy market reforms are driving interest in energy storage across Southeast Europe. Yess Power aims to leverage its experience in grid-scale storage to develop additional projects, positioning itself as a key player in the Balkans’ evolving renewable energy and energy storage market.
