Oregon-based utility company Portland General Electric has finalised agreements for more than 1,000MW of new renewable energy and BESS projects.

The Governing Board of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) has approved renewables developer Polaris Renewable Energy’s battery energy storage system (BESS) standard offer (SO1) agreement.

U.S. developers signed sale and purchase agreements (SPA) for 40 million tons per annum of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2025 from planned export facilities, according to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and company website data. This LNG volume equals 5.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), the highest volume since 7.0 Bcf/d in 2022.

<p>Global lithium demand could exceed 13 million tonnes by 2050 under an accelerated energy transition, more than double base case projections, according to Wood Mackenzie’s latest Energy Transition Outlook for Lithium. Without significant new investment, supply deficits could emerge as early as 2028. Even under the Wood Mackenzie’s base case scenario, existing supply projects are unlikely to meet demand&#8230;</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2026/03/woodmac-warns-of-lithium-supply-deficit-by-2028/">WoodMac warns of lithium supply deficit by 2028</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com">Solar Power World</a>.</p>

A second-round auction in the UK for grid stability services, including inertia, concluded without any wins for grid-forming battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.

La operación incluye la compra del negocio global de AES, que abarca compañías eléctricas reguladas en EE. UU., así como una amplia cartera internacional de generación renovable. En paralelo, vende su 11,4% en Naturgy por 2.791 millones.

La sentencia dictado por la Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo de Sevilla aprecia que se produjo una fragmentación artificiosa de la instalación por parte del promotor, RIC Energy, para eludir el marco competencial y ambiental aplicable.

Allianz GI, Luxcara and Return have acquired BESS projects and portfolios in Germany, Finland and Spain; Low Carbon, OX2, Cero Generation and Revera have taken FIDs on projects in Poland, Finland and the UK; and NHOA Energy has received a 600MWh order in Italy. All in all, the projects total at least 3.7GWh of capacity.

A number of Chinese energy storage companies have released their 2025 annual earnings results and forecasts, revealing divergent performance.

Natec Home dispone de una capacidad nominal de 7,68 kWh y una potencia de 3,8 kW, y permite la conexión en paralelo de hasta 15 unidades. El precio de referencia se sitúa en 3.990 euros.

Speaking to ESN Premium, Tom Best and Rachel Rundle of Eku Energy explore some of the key policies and drivers of Australia's ESS market.

La Comunidad de Madrid ha adjudicado a Acciona el proyecto. La electrolinera contará con 20 plazas de recarga ultrarrápida de hasta 400 kW ubicadas en una parcela de 1.281 m2. La planta fotovoltaica generaría un excedente neto anual de más de 35.000 kWh.

La producción fotovoltaica alcanzó récords para un día de febrero en los principales mercados europeos, mientras que la eólica disminuyó y la demanda eléctrica bajó.

On February 9, 2026, Japan restarted Unit 6 of its largest nuclear power plant, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station in Niigata Prefecture, which was shut down following the 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear accident. As the reactor returns to full operations, the resulting increase in nuclear generation is likely to displace generation from fossil sources, mainly natural gas, which accounted for 33% of all Japan's electricity generation in 2024.
