Winda Energy to Build Second Battery Storage Facility in Finland
Winda Energy has announced plans to construct its second battery energy storage system (BESS) facility in Finland, expanding its presence in the Nordic storage market. The project will deploy utility-scale lithium-ion battery technology to provide fast-response balancing, peak shaving, and grid support services, complementing Finland’s growing renewable generation. The new facility represents continued investment in flexible energy infrastructure, strengthening grid resilience and enabling higher integration of wind and solar power. For consumers, the BESS will improve reliability and help stabilise electricity prices during peak demand. Strategically, the project aligns with Winda Energy’s focus on scaling storage assets in Northern Europe. It supports the company’s growth plans to build a diversified portfolio of grid-scale batteries across key Nordic markets.
Blueleaf & Universal Peak Win Bid for 100 MW Battery Project in Malaysia
Blueleaf Energy and Universal Peak have won a competitive bid to develop a 100 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Malaysia, marking a significant step in the country’s grid modernisation efforts. The project will deploy advanced lithium-ion battery technology to provide peak shaving, frequency regulation, and grid stability services, supporting higher renewable energy penetration. The award reflects strong investment confidence in large-scale storage under Malaysia’s evolving power market framework. For consumers, the BESS will enhance reliability, reduce peak power costs, and support cleaner electricity supply. Strategically, the project aligns with Blueleaf’s regional expansion strategy and Universal Peak’s focus on flexible assets. It underpins both companies’ growth plans to scale battery storage portfolios across Southeast Asia.
GreenFlash Lines Up 10 GWh of Battery Capacity for US Data Centres
GreenFlash has lined up 10 GWh of battery energy storage capacity to serve data centres across the United States, targeting reliable, low-carbon power for energy-intensive digital infrastructure. The plan centres on large-scale lithium-ion BESS integrated with on-site and grid-connected power systems to provide backup, peak management, and load balancing. The initiative represents a substantial investment in resilient energy infrastructure as data centre demand accelerates. For customers, the batteries will improve uptime, reduce exposure to grid disruptions, and help manage energy costs while supporting decarbonisation goals. Strategically, the move positions GreenFlash at the intersection of storage and digital infrastructure. It supports the company’s growth plans to scale battery solutions tailored to hyperscale and enterprise data centre operators.
