The latest renewable energy news include announcements from All Energy Solar, wind auction in Hungary, ORLEN, New Horizon Academy, and others.
New Horizon Academy Adds Eighth Solar Project With All Energy Solar
New Horizon Academy is installing another commercial rooftop solar array with All Energy Solar at its childcare facility in Lincoln, Nebraska. The project will use 94 photovoltaic panels and is expected to produce more than 70,000 kWh of renewable electricity annually, with the generation consumed by the building. The installation represents New Horizon Academy’s fifth solar project in Nebraska and eighth US project developed with All Energy Solar. Although substantially smaller than the utility-scale projects in this update, the deployment is notable as a repeatable commercial-building model in which a national childcare operator is incorporating onsite generation into multiple properties to reduce long-term operating costs. All Energy Solar is handling the project as part of its expanding commercial distributed-solar business across the US.
Hungary Opens 702 MVA Grid Tender to Unlock New Wind Projects Through 2032
Hungary’s Energy and Public Utilities Regulatory Office, MEKH, has launched a wind-specific grid-capacity tender offering 702 MVA across nine network connection points in six districts. Successful projects will be able to connect from September 30, 2030, with connections required no later than September 30, 2032. The tender forms part of Hungary’s new strategy to add at least 4 GW of wind capacity between 2026 and 2030, a major increase from an installed fleet of roughly 330 MW. Hungary has historically relied much more heavily on solar, which provided around 27 percent of electricity in 2025, while wind contributed about 2 percent. The grid allocation is therefore a material regulatory step toward restarting utility-scale wind development.
ORLEN and 13 Energy Groups Launch Baltic Alliance for Offshore Wind, Hydrogen and Grid Investment
ORLEN has joined 13 companies and energy organisations from nine Northern and Central European countries to establish the Baltic Energy Initiative, targeting cross-border investment in offshore wind, hydrogen, energy infrastructure and other strategic technologies. The 14-member alliance includes ORLEN, Ørsted, Siemens Energy, Fortum, Latvenergo, Eesti Energia, Enefit, KN Energies, DNV Energy Systems, Topsoe, Adven, Steady Energy, P2X Solutions and Gasgrid Finland. Cooperation will cover offshore wind, regional hydrogen markets, LNG and bio-LNG, carbon capture and storage, nuclear and small modular reactors, alongside cybersecurity and protection of critical energy infrastructure. The partners also plan to coordinate applications for EU and international financing and develop cross-border projects spanning Poland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and the Baltic states.
