Haskoning Wins Design Contract for Elwind Offshore Wind Project
Royal HaskoningDHV (Haskoning) has secured a key design contract for the Elwind offshore wind project in the Baltic Sea, advancing one of the region’s major renewable energy developments. The contract covers engineering and design services to support project planning and environmental integration. Elwind, a joint Estonian-Latvian offshore wind initiative, aims to significantly boost renewable energy capacity in the Baltic region and strengthen cross-border energy cooperation. Haskoning will leverage its offshore wind expertise to optimize site design, infrastructure layout, and technical assessments. The award highlights continued progress in Baltic offshore wind expansion and reinforces Haskoning’s position as a leading engineering partner in large-scale renewable energy projects, supporting Europe’s decarbonization and energy security objectives.
Sungrow Applies for Permits for 55 MW / 200 MWh BESS Project in Spain
Sungrow has applied for permits to develop a 55 MW / 200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Spain, reinforcing its expansion in Europe’s fast-growing energy storage market. The proposed grid-scale battery project aims to enhance renewable energy integration and improve grid stability. The 200 MWh storage capacity will enable peak shaving, frequency regulation, and balancing services, supporting Spain’s increasing solar and wind power penetration. The project aligns with national targets to expand energy storage alongside renewable generation capacity. If approved, the BESS installation will strengthen Spain’s power system flexibility and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon energy mix. The move highlights Sungrow’s strategic focus on large-scale battery storage development across key European markets.
ACME Solar Secures 25-Year Offtake Deal for 190 MW of 380 MW Hybrid Project in India
ACME Solar has signed a 25-year power offtake agreement for 190 MW—half of its 380 MW hybrid renewable energy project in India. The long-term contract strengthens revenue visibility and underlines strong demand for hybrid solar-wind solutions in the country’s evolving power market. The hybrid project combines renewable generation sources to deliver more stable and reliable clean energy output, supporting grid stability and optimized power supply. The secured offtake enhances bankability and advances ACME Solar’s strategy to expand its diversified renewable portfolio. The agreement aligns with India’s clean energy transition goals, boosting large-scale hybrid capacity while offering long-term supply certainty to buyers seeking sustainable power solutions.
