Hamburg-headquartered Milvio Energy has completed the divestment of a hybrid renewable energy project in Lower Saxony, comprising 80.4 MW of solar PV and a 70.2 MW battery energy storage system (BESS). The transaction was structured as a forward sale, with the asset still under development and expected to reach ready-to-build (RTB) status in Q2 2026.

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is evaluating a potential loan to support the development of a 200-MW solar power plant combined with battery energy storage (BESS) in Egypt, reinforcing the country’s push toward large-scale, flexible renewable energy infrastructure.

Elements Green has acquired the Bolney Green Energy Hub site in West Sussex from Envirotech Energy Solutions after signing a share purchase agreement.

Gamuda Australia has been appointed to lead the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase of Yanara’s flagship 450MW solar-plus-storage project in Victoria, marking a key milestone for one of Australia’s largest hybrid renewable developments.

The expansion of stationary battery storage in Germany reached an estimated 6.57 GWh in 2025, representing an 8% increase compared with the previous year. Total installed battery storage capacity in Germany now stands at around 24 GWh, according to analyses by the Battery Charts data platform of the Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives (ISEA) at RWTH Aachen University.

Scatec has inked a 25-year power purchase agreement in Egypt for a 1.95 GW solar, 3.9 GWh battery energy storage project, representing the developer’s largest investment to date.

Japanese construction ceramics manufacturer Danto Holdings Corp (TYO:5337) has announced that its board of directors has approved the entry into the grid-scale battery storage business through an investment in a 2-MW/8-MWh project.

Bruc, a Spain-based renewable energy investment platform, has successfully closed a EUR 474 million refinancing for its operational solar photovoltaic assets and upcoming battery energy storage projects across Spain. The transaction highlights the growing financial and strategic importance of hybrid solar-plus-storage portfolios in Southern Europe.

The company has inaugurated a centralised technical monitoring and support platform in Santiago, enabling real-time supervision of battery energy storage systems. From this hub, Sungrow monitors critical parameters such as temperature, cell voltage and state of charge, allowing early fault detection, faster response times and optimised system performance. Monthly KPI-based performance reports further enhance transparency and operational efficiency.

Germany continued its strong solar momentum in 2025, installing 16.2 GW of new solar PV capacity, according to an analysis by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, based on data from the energy-charts.info platform. This expansion pushed the country’s cumulative installed solar capacity to 116.8 GW by the end of the year—comfortably surpassing the federal government’s 108 GW target for 2025.

Voltalia has officially started construction of a large-scale hybrid renewable energy and battery storage cluster in Uzbekistan, marking a significant milestone in the country’s clean energy transition. Known as the Artemisya project, the development integrates wind power, solar PV, and battery energy storage within a single, coordinated energy complex designed to enhance grid stability and security of supply.
