Enviromena Secures Planning Consent for Kent Solar Project in the UK
Renewable energy developer Enviromena has secured planning consent for a new solar PV project in Kent, strengthening its UK development pipeline and marking a key investment milestone in clean energy infrastructure. The approved project reflects a strong customer focus, aiming to deliver reliable, locally generated renewable electricity that supports grid stability and regional decarbonisation targets. Enviromena will deploy innovative, high-efficiency solar PV technology alongside advanced monitoring and optimisation systems to maximise energy output and long-term performance. Customer benefits include increased access to low-carbon power, improved energy security, reduced carbon emissions, and greater price stability over the project’s lifetime.
DNV Supports USD 325m Financing for Renewable Energy Projects in Chile
DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, has supported USD 325 million in financing for a portfolio of renewable energy projects in Chile, reinforcing investor confidence in the country’s clean energy market. The transaction represents a major investment in solar and wind assets, aligned with Chile’s decarbonisation and energy security goals. DNV provided technical advisory and due diligence services, demonstrating a strong customer focus by helping lenders and developers mitigate risk and ensure bankability. The financing benefits from innovative assessment methodologies covering resource analysis, technology performance, and grid integration. Customer benefits include improved project reliability, reduced financing risk, and accelerated access to clean power.
Erex to Build 2-MW Home Battery Storage System in Japan
Japan-based renewable energy company Erex plans to build a 2-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at its own facility, reflecting a targeted investment in distributed energy resilience. The project is designed with a strong customer focus, enhancing the company’s ability to deliver stable and reliable electricity to end-users while supporting local grid operations. Using innovative battery storage technology, the system will enable efficient power balancing, peak shaving, and better utilisation of renewable generation. The project’s benefits include improved energy self-sufficiency, reduced exposure to power market volatility, and greater operational flexibility. It also supports Japan’s broader energy transition by strengthening grid stability and demonstrating how small- to mid-scale storage solutions can complement renewable power and improve overall system efficiency.
