Eurelectric says Europe needs more flexibility as clean generation grows. Its 2026 Power Barometer highlights storage, grids, and demand response as continuing constraints.
Vattenfall will optimise four German battery projects totalling 285MW capacity. Commercial operation is expected from January 2027 under agreements running to 2036.
Statkraft will optimise two Greenvolt battery projects across Polish markets. The ten-year agreement covers 400MW/1.6GWh of four-hour storage.
Northland has closed financing for two Polish battery storage projects. The 300MW/1.2GWh portfolio is under construction for 2028 operation.
Scotland’s renewable project pipeline has climbed to 99.4GW overall capacity. Battery storage and offshore wind dominate planned capacity, while operational renewable generation and storage continue to expand.
Polarium will connect German batteries nationwide through smart metering systems. The first phase will aggregate 1,600-plus distributed systems into a virtual power plant, with the wider fleet targeted to reach 10,000.
Vidullanka has submitted winning bids across four solar battery projects. The proposed installations total 18.7MW/93MWh and would retrofit storage to operating photovoltaic plants under 15-year build, own, and operate arrangements.
TerraFlow and DG Matrix will power live compute through storage. The initial US deployment combines a vanadium flow battery, programmable solid-state transformer technology, and Dell PowerEdge servers.
PacificLight starts work on Singapore’s first gas plant with batteries. The 670MW CCGT will pair with an 80MW lithium iron phosphate battery and is scheduled to enter operation in 2029.
Waratah has reached full commercial operation at its rated capacity. The 850MW/1,680MWh battery is integrated with a system protection scheme designed to increase usable transmission capacity in New South Wales.
