Nordseecluster A has delivered its first electricity into Germany’s grid. The 660MW opening phase is progressing through staged commissioning ahead of full operation in early 2027.
-
Elgin has secured long-term offtake for three British solar projects. The 15-year agreements cover developments in Wales, Leicestershire, and Staffordshire that are already moving through construction and grid-connection delivery.
-
Larkhill’s solar network now supplies power across connected military infrastructure. The new 1.7GWh annual installation can export surplus generation to neighbouring camps through an existing private-wire system.
-
Northern Ireland is defining compensation rules for offshore wind development. Proposed changes would allow broader environmental measures where unavoidable effects on protected marine sites cannot be eliminated through project design or mitigation.
-
Wave energy has reached a significant independent certification milestone offshore. CorPower Ocean’s C4 converter has completed a seven-year assessment covering design, manufacture, deployment, operation, and survival in extreme sea conditions.
-
Latvia’s storage build-out is moving into utility-scale hybrid infrastructure delivery. Ignitis Renewables will combine a 107MW battery system with the 174MW Tume solar farm and its existing grid connection.
-
Germany’s offshore wind fleet has passed another major deployment threshold. More than 1GW entered operation during the first half of 2026, although a much larger awarded pipeline still awaits final investment decisions.
-
Hybrid storage is moving beyond batteries into faster grid control. Acciona Energía is pairing lithium-ion capacity with ultracapacitors to deliver rapid frequency, voltage, and virtual-inertia support at renewable sites in Navarra.
-
Britain’s eighth clean-power auction has formally opened for project applications. The round will test renewable-project depth, delivery capacity, connection readiness, and the eventual scale of government support.
-
PNE has secured permits for five German wind projects nationwide. The 188MW portfolio combines new construction, cooperative ownership, project extensions, and repowering across five federal states.
