The latest renewable energy news includes announcements from Nadara, Airenergy Tech, Renewable Capacity in Brazil, and others.
Nadara Wins Approval to Repower 8.4 MW Scottish Wind Farm
Independent power producer Nadara has secured planning approval to repower an ageing 8.4 MW wind farm in Scotland, allowing the developer to replace older equipment with modern higher-capacity turbines. Repowering has become increasingly important across mature European wind markets because developers can produce substantially more electricity from established sites while reusing grid connections and existing infrastructure. Nadara is also progressing a similar repowering project in England, indicating a broader strategy around modernising operating assets. The Scottish approval removes a key development hurdle and allows the project to advance toward detailed engineering, procurement and construction. The scheme demonstrates how Britain can expand renewable generation even where opportunities for entirely new wind sites are constrained.
Airenergy Moves into Renewable IPP Market with 7.8 MW Polish Wind Acquisition
Israeli energy-storage developer Airenergy Tech plans to acquire a 7.8 MW operating wind farm in Poland as part of a strategic shift toward becoming an independent power producer. The transaction marks an expansion beyond the company’s original focus on compressed-air energy storage technology and gives Airenergy exposure to revenue from an operating renewable-generation asset. Although the wind farm is relatively small, the strategic change is significant because it combines generation ownership with the company’s existing storage expertise and could provide a platform for additional acquisitions. Poland remains one of Europe’s most active energy-transition markets as it replaces coal generation with wind, solar and storage, creating opportunities for investors acquiring existing renewable assets.
Brazil Adds 1.9 GW of Renewable Capacity in August as Solar and Wind Expand
Brazil added approximately 1.9 GW of new renewable-energy generation capacity during August 2026, extending one of the world’s largest clean-power buildouts. The additions were driven primarily by solar and onshore wind, which continue to account for a growing share of Brazil’s generation pipeline. The monthly figure is significant because it demonstrates the speed at which the country is converting its extensive renewable project pipeline into operating capacity. Brazil already benefits from a large hydropower base, but rapid expansion of wind and solar is making the electricity mix more diversified while increasing the need for transmission, storage and flexible generation. The new capacity also strengthens Brazil’s position as Latin America’s largest renewable-energy market.
