Carrog’s grid connection package has cleared a high-voltage planning hurdle. BOOM Power’s approved Anglesey scheme includes an underground 400kV cable and 400kV substation to connect a consented battery project to the transmission network.
-
Ironbridge has secured consent for a distribution-connected battery storage project. Greenfield and RPC’s 99.9MW scheme will use the former Ironbridge Power Station substation, adding storage capacity at a legacy electricity infrastructure site.
-
European BESS delivery is widening beyond headline project capacity alone. New moves in Italy, Sweden, and Poland link storage growth to grid interconnection, asset management, transmission-node access, and utility-scale project acquisition.
-
Portugal’s storage auction gives flexibility procurement a sharper grid focus. The September tender covers standalone batteries and surplus renewable grid capacity at named strategic nodes, with national targets now reaching across battery and pumped hydro storage.
-
Europe’s battery pipeline is shifting into large connected project delivery. Three BESS schemes in Germany, Poland, and Belgium add about 11GWh, sharpening the link between storage procurement, transmission access, supplier commitments, and grid flexibility.
-
Integrals Power will supply LMFP material for European cell development. The €9m OLiMPUS project aims to industrialise safe, cost-effective, sustainable LMFP battery cells using European technology, partners, and supply chains.
-
Statkraft will optimise Pulse Clean Energy’s Penn battery near Wolverhampton. The 128MW distribution-connected project is expected to enter commercial operation in 2028, supported by a long-term trading agreement.
-
Decade Energy has commissioned battery-backed truck charging infrastructure near Paris. The Gennevilliers installation combines grid capacity, storage, DC charging, and software-led optimisation for heavy-duty electric vehicle operation.
-
Eku Energy has entered Germany with large battery storage capacity. The 400MW/1,600MWh Dion project in Lower Saxony is designed for transmission-grid connection, with grid-forming and black-start capability included.
-
SmartestEnergy and OnPath have signed a co-located solar-storage transaction deal. Common Farm Solar Park will use a shared connection and revenue floor structure.
