OptiGrid will optimise trading for Vena Energy’s 408MW Bellambi battery. The approximately 816MWh New South Wales project is under construction and targets commercial operation during 2027.
Volue says European battery returns increasingly depend on trading skill. Its research links saturated frequency markets, quarter-hour trading, and degradation management to a more demanding operating model.
KER TOKI’s Ișalnița project has now received Romanian regulatory approval. The 147MW system starts at 294MWh, can expand to 609MWh, and targets completion during the first half of 2027.
AECOM has detailed its engineering role on Ontario pumped storage. The proposed 1GW/10.6GWh Meaford scheme is advancing through front-end engineering and federal impact assessment, with operations currently indicated for 2035.
R.Power has reported 75.994MW from Poland’s 2027 supplementary capacity auction. The one-year obligations cover storage assets with 159.5MW of connection capacity and remain subject to the formal results process.
Sineng has supplied power-conversion equipment for Bulgaria’s Burgas battery project. The 150MW/300MWh installation forms part of a 602MWh operating storage facility with grid-forming capability.
ENGIE has pushed its global storage portfolio beyond 10GW worldwide. European additions totalling 1.1GW/3.3GWh across seven countries drove the latest expansion.
