Capital Dynamics has acquired a 170MW Irish battery storage project. The four-hour Knockanure development will connect at 110kV as Ireland prepares for substantially greater long-duration flexibility.
Czechia’s largest battery storage plant has now entered commercial operation. The 57MW/120MWh Lipnice installation adds new balancing and trading capability as the Czech power system opens more fully to standalone storage.
EDP has completed Sandrini’s four-hour battery storage project in California. The 92MW/368MWh installation sits alongside a 300MW solar site and is contracted to Redwood Coast Energy Authority for its full battery capacity.
EDF has secured two long-term agreements for the Winston project. The Nevada scheme combines 400MWac of solar generation with a 400MW/1,600MWh four-hour battery and expects to begin electricity deliveries in October 2029.
Cummins will supply battery storage for a major data centre. The project will use BESS to manage AI-driven load fluctuations, reduce oscillations, and improve ride-through performance at the utility interconnection.
Foresight Solar is upgrading nine ageing UK photovoltaic sites nationwide. The 150MW-plus programme will replace panels and inverters, with annual generation expected to increase by as much as 14GWh.
Harmony Energy has energised its Skeeby battery storage project successfully. The 35MW/70MWh North Yorkshire system uses Tesla Megapacks and has moved into live commissioning ahead of full commercial operation.
