-
European Energy is linking wind, storage, and hydrogen operations. The Måde hybrid park will use one balancing setup across generation, BESS, and electrolysers.
-
Germany is preparing offshore wind rules for harder market conditions. The Federal Council wants new tender design, stronger certainty, and cross-border grid cooperation.
-
France has opened another major offshore wind procurement round today. The AO10 tender covers 11 fixed-bottom and floating wind projects across several coastal zones.
-
Mitie will connect three Elgin solar farms across British networks. The projects span 33kV local works and a 132kV National Grid connection, underlining the electrical infrastructure required behind renewable deployment.
-
OMV Petrom has moved Gabare into full project development phase. The Bulgarian scheme combines large-scale solar generation with 600MWh of battery storage, adding another hybrid asset to Southeast Europe’s flexibility pipeline.
-
Allume’s SolShare update expands shared solar options for flats nationwide. The new system increases capacity, adds battery integration, and is set for UK installer availability from August 2026.
-
Germany’s grey co-location project links batteries with market optimisation models. Entrix will optimise a solar-plus-storage asset where the battery can charge from both PV and the grid.
-
Germany’s DC-coupled pilot tackles solar storage connection constraints head-on directly. Sigenergy, EnBW, and ZSW are testing whether DC architecture can reduce hardware needs and improve solar-plus-storage economics.
-
Europe’s inverter restrictions sharpen cybersecurity concerns for grid-connected renewables projects. The EU funding measure could reshape solar procurement, project economics, and supplier risk assessments across European energy infrastructure.

Battery storage planning has gained a clearer technical reference point. The ESN guide covers fire safety, land use, noise, biodiversity, cybersecurity, emergency response, traffic, and electromagnetic fields.
