Stem Optimizes California Grid with AI-Driven Solar-Plus-Storage Project
Stem has implemented its Athena smart energy software to optimize operations at a 60-MW solar-plus-storage project in Imperial County, California. This project features a 60-MW PV installation paired with 60 MW/240 MWh of battery energy storage, enhancing grid flexibility and time-of-use energy distribution. Athena uses AI-powered forecasting, real-time control, and automated market participation to deliver revenue optimization and grid stability. The site is enrolled in California’s Resource Adequacy and CAISO Day-Ahead Market programs, improving its economic and operational value. This deployment supports California’s clean energy goals, offering better grid integration of renewables, increased energy reliability, and enhanced financial returns.
Ocean Winds selects Siemens Gamesa for 26 SG 14-236 wind turbines for BC-Wind project
Ocean Winds has entered a conditional agreement with Siemens Gamesa to supply and maintain 26 SG 14-236 wind turbines for its BC-Wind project in the Polish Baltic Sea. Each turbine will have a nominal capacity of 14 MW, with Power Boost functionality increasing output to 15 MW. The 390 MW offshore wind farm, located 23 kilometers off the coast near Krokowa and Choczewo, aims to deliver clean energy to around 488,000 households starting in 2028. Turbine assembly and logistics will take place at Terminal T5 in the Port of Gdańsk, with installation handled by Cadeler’s O-class vessels. The project has received environmental approvals for both offshore and onshore components and holds rights to a Contract for Difference (CfD). As part of Poland’s Phase I offshore wind development, BC-Wind represents a key step in the country’s energy transition. The project is approaching its Final Investment Decision (FID), expected later in 2025.
