  • Zelestra commissions first German solar project

    Zelestra has commissioned its first operational solar project in Germany. The 27.5MWdc Klevenow plant uses around 42,300 modules and is expected to generate approximately 28,700MWh each year.


  • Electrica signs Craiova cogeneration plant contract

    Electrica will build flexible cogeneration capacity to modernise Craiova’s heat. The 82MW electrical plant combines district heating, thermal storage, rapid start-up, black-start capability, and provision for future hydrogen blending.


  • Pacifico selected for 2.13GW Jindo offshore cluster

    Pacifico has secured Jindo’s 2.13GW offshore development role in Korea. The government-designated Phase 2 cluster carries a 345kV grid specification and runs through 2033, while project-level electricity business licences remain under review.


  • Crays Hall solar reaches commercial operation

    Greencells has completed construction at Crays Hall Farm solar park. The contractor reports 40MWp of installed photovoltaic capacity and around 40GWh annual generation, while the project’s Allocation Round 6 CfD capacity is recorded separately at 25.92MW.


  • Cyberattack reportedly shuts small UK peaker plant

    A cyberattack reportedly shut a small UK gas peaker temporarily. The unidentified roughly 15MW facility was offline for four days, while government and NCSC work on broader energy-sector cyber resilience continues.


  • Crays Hall solar reaches commercial operation

    Halenbeck-Rohlsdorf II has entered operation with 114MWp solar capacity installed. The Brandenburg plant is expected to generate up to 120GWh annually, with long-term PPAs covering Shell Energy Europe and two Finanz Informatik companies.


  • Low Danube levels cut Kozloduy output

    Kozloduy reduced Unit 5 output as Danube levels kept falling. The approximately 120MW preventative reduction responds to critically low river conditions and is the first such meteorological and hydrological measure in the plant’s 52-year operating history.


  • Statkraft seeks major Høyanger hydro upgrade

    Statkraft proposes replacing Høyanger hydropower with higher-capacity flexible plant assets. The two new stations would raise combined capacity from around 109MW to 257MW while using the same regulated water resources and existing reservoir limits.


  • Baltica 2 completes offshore foundation campaign

    Van Oord has completed all 111 Baltica 2 offshore monopiles. The campaign installed 107 turbine foundations and four offshore-substation foundations for the 1.5GW Polish project, clearing a major dependency for turbine, cable, and substation installation.


  • EDF cleared for Gravelines EPR2 preparatory works

    France has cleared preparatory works for EDF’s Gravelines EPR2 project. The environmental authorisation covers site infrastructure, earthworks, ground reinforcement, initial civil engineering, and cooling-water works while later nuclear installation approvals remain separate.
