Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Voltfang, Budimex, among others.
Voltfang Builds 20-MWh Battery in Germany’s Coal Region
Voltfang is constructing a 20-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in a former coal region of Germany, representing a strategic investment in energy transition and local grid flexibility. The project reflects a strong customer focus, providing utilities, grid operators, and local communities with rapid-response storage to stabilise electricity supply as renewable energy penetration increases. The facility will use innovative lithium-ion battery technology combined with advanced energy management and digital monitoring systems to optimise performance and operational efficiency. Customer benefits include enhanced grid reliability, reduced curtailment of wind and solar power, improved energy security, and lower balancing costs. The project supports Germany’s shift from fossil fuels to renewables and helps revitalise former coal regions with clean energy solutions.
Budimex Secures Financing for 21-MW Solar Farm in Poland
Budimex has secured financing for a 21-MW solar PV project in Poland, representing a strategic investment in utility-scale renewable energy development. The project demonstrates a strong customer focus, providing reliable, low-carbon electricity to utilities and corporate offtakers while supporting Poland’s transition to sustainable energy. The solar farm will deploy innovative high-efficiency PV modules and advanced digital monitoring systems to optimise energy output, operational performance, and maintenance efficiency. Customer benefits include lower electricity costs, improved energy security, reduced carbon emissions, and enhanced grid stability. The secured financing accelerates construction timelines, strengthens Poland’s clean energy capacity, and reinforces Budimex’s position as a leading developer of utility-scale solar projects, contributing to national decarbonisation and renewable energy goals.
