Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Nexwell Power, Opoura, Cypress Creek, Goldbeck Solar and Octopus Energy, among others.
Nexwell Power, US tech firm boost PPA to nearly 5 TWh of Spanish solar
Nexwell Power has expanded its power purchase agreement (PPA) with an undisclosed US technology firm to nearly 5 TWh of clean electricity from solar projects in Spain. The long-term deal supports Nexwell’s strategy to scale renewable energy delivery to corporate offtakers and aligns with the buyer’s decarbonisation goals. The solar power will be supplied by a portfolio of utility-scale photovoltaic plants across various Spanish regions. This expansion enhances energy security and price stability for the customer while supporting Spain’s transition to a low-carbon energy system. The agreement also reflects rising corporate demand for large-scale, market-based renewable energy procurement in Europe.
Opoura to supply controller for 146 MW hybrid project in Austria
Opoura has been selected to provide its hybrid power plant controller for a 146 MW renewable energy project in Austria, which integrates both solar and wind capacity. The project will use Opoura’s advanced control technology to optimise generation, storage, and grid interaction across multiple assets. This aligns with Austria’s strategy to expand hybrid energy systems and support greater renewable integration. The controller enhances operational efficiency and real-time performance management. While investment figures are undisclosed, the deployment focuses on increasing energy stability, maximising asset utilisation, and reducing curtailment. Benefits include improved grid support, flexible dispatch, and accelerated decarbonisation of the Austrian power system.
Cypress Creek to develop 160 MW solar PV project in Washington
Cypress Creek Renewables has received a site certificate to develop a 160 MW utility-scale solar photovoltaic project in Klickitat County, Washington. The project aligns with the state’s clean energy goals and Cypress Creek’s strategy to expand renewable infrastructure across the U.S. Construction is expected to begin in 2025. The plant will use high-efficiency solar PV technology and deliver power to the wholesale electricity market, serving utilities and corporate offtakers. Though investment details are undisclosed, the project promotes grid decarbonisation, enhances energy security, and supports job creation. It will contribute significantly to regional renewable energy capacity and long-term sustainability targets.
Goldbeck, Octopus turn sod on 48 MWp solar project in England
Goldbeck Solar and Octopus Energy Generation have commenced construction of a 48 MWp solar project near Wymondham, Norfolk, England. The project forms part of Octopus’s broader strategy to scale solar generation in the UK and support the country’s net-zero targets. Goldbeck Solar will serve as EPC contractor, deploying utility-scale photovoltaic technology. Once completed, the site will produce enough clean electricity to power approximately 14,000 homes annually. The investment enhances energy security and local job creation while supplying corporate and grid-connected energy customers. The project reflects innovation in project execution, grid integration, and alignment with the UK’s renewable energy expansion goals.
