Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements on Energiequelle, OX2’s solar farm in Poland, solar panel recycling services, Thor offshore wind farm, among others.
Energiequelle Begins Work on German Wind Repowering Project
Energiequelle has started repowering work at the Heckelberg wind farm in Brandenburg, Germany. The strategy is to replace older turbines with fewer, more powerful units to increase energy output and reduce land use. The project will replace 11 turbines with 5 modern units totaling 28.5 MW. Investment figures have not been disclosed. Technology focus is on installing new high-efficiency turbines with improved capacity factors. Customer focus includes local grid operators and energy offtakers. Contracts cover dismantling, new turbine supply, and grid connection. Benefits include increased clean energy generation, lower maintenance needs, and alignment with Germany’s wind energy optimisation goals.
OX2 Commissions 100MW Solar Farm in Poland with PPA Contracts
OX2 has completed and powered up a 100 MW solar farm in Poland, supported by power purchase agreements (PPAs) for all electricity produced. The strategy targets rapid renewable deployment and long-term revenue through contractual offtake. Investment details remain undisclosed. The project uses ground-mounted photovoltaic systems connected to the Polish grid. Technology focus includes high-efficiency solar panels and grid-compliant systems. Customer focus involves corporate and utility buyers secured through PPAs. Innovation includes bundling project development with contract-backed sales to ensure project bankability. Benefits include added clean energy capacity, financial predictability for OX2, and support for Poland’s renewable targets and market stability.
Computer Recycling Launches Solar Panel Recycling Services in the U.S.
Computer Recycling has introduced a new solar panel recycling service to handle end-of-life photovoltaic modules across the U.S. The strategy is to address the growing volume of decommissioned solar equipment through responsible waste management. Investment supports expansion of recycling infrastructure and logistics. Technology focus includes automated dismantling, material recovery, and compliance with e-waste standards. Customer focus targets solar developers, EPCs, and utilities. Contracts are available for bulk and recurring disposal needs. Innovation includes dedicated processing lines for solar materials. Benefits include landfill diversion, recovery of valuable materials, regulatory compliance, and sustainability within the solar industry life cycle.
Jacket Structure Completed for Thor Offshore Substation in Denmark
The jacket foundation for the Thor offshore wind farm substation has been completed and rolled out from a fabrication yard in the Netherlands. The strategy is to enable stable offshore grid connections for the 1 GW Thor wind project in Danish waters. Investment is backed by the project’s developers and grid operator Energinet. Technology focus includes offshore jacket structures designed for heavy marine conditions. Customer focus includes grid authorities and wind power developers. Contracts cover fabrication, transport, and installation services. Innovation includes early integration of substation components into modular foundations. Benefits include timely project delivery, grid reliability, and support for Denmark’s offshore wind expansion.
