Ofgem has revised licence conditions for Britain’s first LDES window. The framework will govern cap-and-floor projects selected for support later in 2026.
-
Amarenco has financed a 100MW battery project in southwest France. The two-hour LFP system will be built on a former industrial site near existing electrical infrastructure.
-
Italian battery investment has moved beyond the first MACSE awards. Acquisitions and equipment orders now cover more than 1.5GWh of planned storage capacity.
-
Grenergy has secured €100m financing for Spain’s Oviedo battery project. Construction of the 618MWh standalone system is under way beside the La Estrecha substation.
-
Northern Ireland is defining compensation rules for offshore wind development. Proposed changes would allow broader environmental measures where unavoidable effects on protected marine sites cannot be eliminated through project design or mitigation.
-
Italian electricity demand is rising alongside industrial and renewable output. June brought the highest demand recorded for the month in a decade, while solar capacity and battery installations continued to expand.
-
Latvia’s storage build-out is moving into utility-scale hybrid infrastructure delivery. Ignitis Renewables will combine a 107MW battery system with the 174MW Tume solar farm and its existing grid connection.
-
Germany’s offshore wind fleet has passed another major deployment threshold. More than 1GW entered operation during the first half of 2026, although a much larger awarded pipeline still awaits final investment decisions.
-
Romania’s battery pipeline is shifting decisively into large-scale construction activity. Projects totalling hundreds of megawatts are advancing through financing, engineering, and procurement as solar deployment increases demand for flexible network capacity.
-
Britain’s demand-flexibility service has delivered sharply higher summer reductions already. NESO has procured 4,739MWh since mid-April, more than twice the comparable volume delivered during 2025.
