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.

Silver prices have resumed their climb, reaching $95 per ounce this morning. Silver analyst Philip Newman tells <b>pv magazine</b> that escalating tensions in the Middle East are expected to continue driving investment demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and silver.

RENA Technologies says it will supply advanced wet chemical processing systems for Celloraa Energy’s 1.2 GW tunnel-oxidized passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell line in Gujarat, India, with water consumption cut by 50%, H₂O₂-free processes, and start of cell production targeted for the end of fiscal 2026–27.

Solar battery installers have been warned to “do it once and do it well” as the number of batteries installed across Australia under the federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program surges past the 250,000 milestone, delivering a combined 6.3 GWh of capacity.

El Boletín Oficial del Estado publicó en la cuarta semana de febrero 19 proyectos renovables, entre los que destaca una planta fotovoltaica de 296 MW en Peralta (Navarra).

EnergySage says the looming expiration of the federal residential solar tax credit drove a 205% surge in homeowner engagement in the second half of 2025, with median pricing of $2.49/W, an average system size of 11.8 kW, and a decline in storage attachment rates as customers rushed to install systems before the end of the year.

The transparent four-terminal perovskite solar cell employs an ion-modulated spiro-MeOTAD hole transport layer, which passivates interfacial defects, enhances carrier dynamics, and allows for a tunable work function in wide-bandgap perovskites. When integrated into mechanically stacked 4T tandems with an n-TOPCon cell, the device achieved an overall efficiency of 28.4–30.2%, along with improved open-circuit voltage and fill factor.
