ContourGlobal has entered UK storage through a Scottish acquisition deal. The company has acquired the 500MW/2,000MWh Wallace BESS project in Ayr, adding a consented grid-scale storage asset with Gate 2 status to its portfolio.
-
Ukraine’s distributed-energy market is expanding under sustained infrastructure pressure conditions. Solar, storage, UPS systems, and energy management are moving deeper into community and business resilience as attacks on centralised energy assets continue to reshape procurement and installation priorities.
-
LionLink is moving further into formal investment and delivery planning. The hybrid DC interconnector would link Dutch offshore wind infrastructure with Dutch and UK onshore high-voltage systems, combining generation export and cross-border electricity exchange.
-
SSEN Transmission has quantified Scotland’s next high-voltage grid investment cycle. The £29bn programme links renewable connections with delivery capacity.
-
CCC has warned UK electrification remains behind required delivery pace. Grid capacity and electricity prices sit at the centre.
-
European battery storage installations are forecast to accelerate by 2030. SolarPower Europe expects utility-scale projects to drive growth, although deployment remains below the level needed for the EU’s security, competitiveness, and climate objectives.
-
Offshore vessel electrification is moving closer to operational deployment readiness. Regulation, port power, charging infrastructure, and vessel duty cycles remain decisive.
-
MachairWind has entered formal consenting for Scotland’s west coast waters. The project could include up to 144 turbines and offshore substations.
-
Greencells and Desay ESS are packaging storage delivery for Europe. The alliance combines EPC capability, battery systems, controls, and safety monitoring.
-
Solar’s record growth is exposing a tougher grid integration challenge. Storage, curtailment, inverter capability, and network capacity now shape deployment.
