CATL will supply major battery systems for Spanish projects. The 1.5GWh order supports Grenergy’s Oviedo and Escuderos storage schemes as Spain’s grid-scale BESS market develops.
-
Gresham House has financed three UK battery storage projects. The £141m package supports 397MW/794MWh of capacity across Cockenzie, Monet’s Garden, and Elland 2.
-
Invinity will design a Swiss GWh-scale flow battery system. The FlexBase project will support an AI datacentre and technology campus at Laufenburg, with initial storage capacity of up to 1.5GWh.
-
Island Green Power has secured consent for East Devon storage. The 125MW Broadclyst project will sit near National Grid’s Exeter 400kV substation and support flexibility, renewable integration, and system balancing.
-
European battery projects totalling 3.3GWh are moving forward. Activity spans Italy, Romania, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Montenegro, and Moldova.
-
RWE is adding solar and battery storage at Hambach mine. The German project combines a 16.5MWp solar park with an 80MWh storage facility on former lignite land.
-
NGEN is expanding software-led battery control across European energy markets. Its SG Brain platform combines AI, storage dispatch, market signals, and real-time system optimisation.
-
Firm household batteries could support constrained local electricity substations directly. E.ON’s proposal links domestic storage to distribution network operation, local flexibility, and delayed reinforcement.
-
Grid reform now faces the harder test of physical delivery. Engineering capacity, high-voltage equipment, construction access, and commissioning resource will decide how quickly renewable and storage projects can connect.
