Croatia has approved grid infrastructure for a major AI campus. Pantheon AI combines a 1GW connection, 500MW of solar, 8GWh of battery storage, and more than €500 million of transmission works.
-
Lancaster has submitted plans for an integrated solar-charging energy hub. The eight-bay development would combine rapid chargers, canopy-mounted photovoltaics, battery storage, managed tariffs, and export capability.
-
Serbia has narrowed Đerdap 3 procurement to one qualified consortium. The Bechtel and ENKA team will enter the second selection phase for a strategic pumped-storage project.
-
Spain and Portugal are accelerating long-duration electricity storage investment programmes. New support covers 3.5GW of pumped-hydro development alongside battery tenders, renewable integration measures, and wider system-resilience work.
-
Germany has opened its first long-term electricity capacity market auction. The 4.5GW procurement offers 15-year commitments under detailed de-rating, delivery, security, and grid-support conditions.
-
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.
