Today’s renewable energy news includes announcements from Eolus, AES Indiana, Solaria, Battery Storage Project in Nevada, and others.
Eolus Divests 127-MW/506-MWh Battery Storage Project in Nevada
Eolus has agreed to sell its 127-MW/506-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Nevada, monetising the asset as part of its project development and divestment strategy. The large-scale standalone storage facility is designed to deliver grid balancing and energy shifting services in the US Southwest. The transaction enables Eolus to recycle capital into new renewable and storage developments while transferring the asset to a long-term owner-operator. Once operational, the BESS will support renewable integration, peak demand management, and grid reliability, contributing to Nevada’s clean energy objectives. The deal highlights continued investor interest in utility-scale battery storage across the US, driven by growing renewable penetration and the need for flexible infrastructure to stabilise evolving power markets.
AES Indiana Commissions 250-MW Solar Farm with 180-MWh Battery Storage
AES Indiana has brought online a 250-MW solar farm paired with a 180-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), marking a significant step in expanding clean energy capacity in the state. The hybrid project combines large-scale photovoltaic generation with storage to enhance grid flexibility and reliability. The integrated battery system enables energy shifting, peak demand support, and improved renewable integration, reducing reliance on fossil-fuel generation during high-demand periods. For customers, the project is expected to contribute to more stable electricity supply and long-term cost efficiency. The milestone supports Indiana’s growing renewable portfolio and aligns with AES’s broader strategy to accelerate the transition toward low-carbon, resilient energy infrastructure across its US operations.
Solaria Procures 516 MWh of Battery Storage for Spanish Hybrid Projects
Solaria has acquired 516 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to support its pipeline of solar-plus-storage projects in Spain. The procurement strengthens the company’s strategy to integrate storage with its photovoltaic assets, enhancing flexibility and revenue optimisation. By pairing solar generation with batteries, Solaria aims to reduce curtailment, shift output to peak-price periods, and provide ancillary grid services. The move reflects growing momentum in Spain’s hybrid renewable market, where storage is becoming critical to managing grid congestion and price volatility. The investment advances Solaria’s position as a leading renewable developer in the Iberian market, reinforcing its commitment to scaling dispatchable, low-carbon energy solutions that support Spain’s energy transition and long-term decarbonisation goals.
