The latest renewable energy news includes announcements from TrueRE Oriana, Norfund, Ampin Energy, Nadara, and others.
TrueRE Oriana Wins 900 MW / 1.8 GWh of Battery Storage Projects in India
TrueRE Oriana has secured successful bids covering 900 MW/1.8 GWh of battery energy storage capacity in India, adding a major portfolio of two-hour BESS projects to the country’s rapidly expanding storage pipeline. The awards come as Indian utilities and government agencies accelerate battery tenders to integrate record additions of solar and wind generation. At 1.8 GWh, the awarded portfolio will be capable of storing substantial renewable electricity for delivery during periods of higher grid demand. The tender wins give TrueRE Oriana a significant position in India’s utility-scale battery sector and establish contracted capacity that can now move through financing, equipment procurement and construction. India’s battery market has expanded sharply during 2026.
Norfund Backs Ampin Plan to Add 2 GW of Renewables in India
Norwegian development investor Norfund is investing in Ampin Energy Transition to support the Indian renewable-energy company’s plan to develop an additional 2 GW of clean-energy capacity. The targeted portfolio spans solar, wind and battery storage, giving the investment a multi-technology focus rather than concentrating on a single generation source. Ampin supplies renewable electricity to commercial and industrial customers while also developing utility-scale assets. Norfund’s investment provides growth capital for the next phase of project deployment as Indian companies increasingly procure clean electricity directly. The planned 2 GW rollout represents substantial additional capacity and strengthens Ampin’s ability to finance, build and operate renewable assets serving India’s expanding corporate and grid electricity markets.
Nadara Finalises 273 MW of Sicily Solar Projects with 156 MW Amazon PPA
Nadara has finalised two solar projects totalling 273 MW in Sicily, Italy, comprising a 46 MW photovoltaic facility and a 227 MW agrivoltaic project. The larger development is supported by a 156 MW power purchase agreement with Amazon. Agrivoltaics allows agricultural activity to continue alongside electricity generation, helping address land-use constraints associated with utility-scale solar. The projects represent a substantial addition to Nadara’s Italian renewable portfolio and provide contracted corporate demand for a significant portion of the new generation. Completion of development work creates a clearer route toward construction and commercial operation, while Amazon’s long-term offtake agreement supports revenue certainty for the 227 MW asset.
