Echelon has started Ireland’s first Green Energy Park in Wicklow. The DUB20 project combines offshore wind access, onsite solar, battery storage, and grid-supporting energy centres within a single large-load infrastructure development.
-
Italy has moved closer to a larger MACSE storage auction. ARERA has backed Terna’s proposal for a 16GWh requirement in 2029, with later auction volumes to be refined as storage costs, gas prices, and capacity market outcomes evolve.
-
Low Carbon Hub has opened Ray Valley battery investment offer. The 3 MW/12 MWh project will add four-hour storage to the Oxfordshire solar park and aims to reduce curtailment and shift output into peak demand periods.
-
Omron has launched a PCB relay for 1500V DC systems. The G9KD targets energy storage and EV charging hardware where high-current isolation, compact footprints, and board-level assembly are becoming more important.
-
Allye joins Tech Nation’s 2026 Climate Programme for growth support. The selection comes as distributed storage gains importance in managing grid constraints, temporary electrification, and flexible power supply across charging, construction, and off-grid applications.
-
SSE has commissioned its Ferrybridge battery storage system in Yorkshire. The 150MW/300MWh asset brings large-scale, rapid-response flexibility to the UK grid from the site of the former Ferrybridge coal-fired power station.
-
Gresham House has cleared another milestone in Britain’s queue reforms. Firm Gate 2 offers for two battery storage projects move the schemes closer to financing close, procurement, and construction under NESO’s reworked connections regime.
-
RES has expanded its European services footprint with Nala Renewables. The 217 MW mandate covers operational solar and battery assets in Lithuania, Belgium, and Greece, underscoring rising demand for integrated asset management as multi-market portfolios scale.
-
Battery storage secured fresh capacity market contracts across Great Britain. The combined 1.8GW haul in the T-1 and T-4 auctions underlines storage’s growing role in firming a more renewable system.
-
Fourth Power is nearing a grid-scale thermal storage demonstration phase. The company plans to switch on a 1MWh unit later this year as it advances a high-temperature modular storage system.
