Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Trianel, Acciona Energia, Low Carbon, Eurowind’s 220 MW solar park in Romania, among others.
Trianel, partners plan up to 1.5 GW energy storage park in Germany
Trianel GmbH and multiple municipal utility partners plan to develop a large-scale energy storage park in Germany with up to 1.5 GW of capacity. The storage hub will be built in several phases and use modular battery energy storage systems to support renewable integration and grid stability. The site location is under evaluation, with commissioning expected to start from 2028. The investment is part of a broader strategy to accelerate the energy transition by enabling flexible load balancing and securing electricity supply from intermittent renewable sources. The project also aims to support Germany’s climate targets and energy market resilience through scalable storage infrastructure.
Acciona Energia to sell 132 MW San Juan de Marcona wind farm in Peru
Acciona Energia is selling its 132 MW San Juan de Marcona wind farm in Peru, which has been operational since 2014 and consists of 44 turbines. The sale is part of the company’s capital rotation strategy to divest mature assets and reinvest proceeds into new global renewable energy projects. The facility operates under a 20-year power purchase agreement with the Peruvian government. Although exiting the generation market in Peru, Acciona will continue operations through a long-term service contract. The transaction supports funding for upcoming wind and solar developments in Latin America, North America, and Europe, aligning with its global asset optimization strategy.
Low Carbon connects 129 MW of UK solar capacity across four sites
Low Carbon has connected 129 MW of new solar capacity across four sites in Bristol, Essex, Derbyshire, and Buckinghamshire. The projects are part of its strategy to develop multi-gigawatt renewable energy capacity by 2030. Each site operates under long-term power purchase agreements, ensuring stable revenue and clean energy delivery to corporate customers. The projects are monitored using Low Carbon’s digital asset management platform for optimized performance and grid integration. The installations use utility-scale photovoltaic technology to supply zero-carbon electricity to over 30,000 homes annually. The investment supports UK decarbonization goals while providing scalable, reliable, and locally sourced renewable power.
Eurowind to build 220 MW solar park in Romania
Eurowind Energy has announced plans to build a 220 MW solar park in Romania, with construction expected to begin in 2025. The project will be located in the Arad region and is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand renewable energy capacity in Eastern Europe. The site will use utility-scale photovoltaic technology and contribute to Romania’s national targets for renewable power integration. The investment aligns with Eurowind’s portfolio growth across solar and wind, with a focus on long-term clean energy supply. The solar park is expected to deliver power to the grid under commercial arrangements, serving both utility and private offtakers. The project will support grid stability and energy diversification while reducing emissions. It also contributes to regional job creation and infrastructure development, positioning Romania as a growing hub for large-scale solar deployment in Central and Eastern Europe.
