This week, the Argentinian government opened bids for the AlmaGBA tender, initiated in February 2025 to procure 500 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity for critical nodes in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) grid, enhancing reliability during peak demand.
A 300 MW compressed air energy storage (CAES) power station utilizing two underground salt caverns in central China's Hubei Province was successfully connected to the grid at full capacity, making it the largest operating project of the kind in the world.
Swiss-based energy company MET Group has officially inaugurated Hungary's largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, located close to Budapest. The new facility boasts a total power output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh.
In a quiet corner of the Roman countryside, an ambitious project is taking shape—one that seeks not only to power the Vatican City entirely through renewable energy, but also to embody the Catholic Church's deepening ecological conscience.
Hydro plans to build a new pumped storage power plant in Luster Municipality, Norway. With construction starting in 2025 and operations beginning in 2028/2029, the total investment for the project is estimated at approximately NOK 1.
Spanish and Portuguese utility Endesa, part of Enel, has provisionally won 953MW of connection rights to build renewable energy resources and battery storage in the Spanish city of Andorra, possibly rising to 1,200MW.
Andorra will go from producing energy using coal, to generating clean energy with an installed capacity of 1,843.6 MW as a result of 7 hybridised renewable projects, 2 storage projects with batteries, a green hydrogen project and a synchronous compensator.
Andora Energy Corp is headquartered in Canada.
This is another step towards the digitalisation of the area surrounding Andorra together with the development of 10 energy communities. These are Andorra, Híjar, Albalate del Arzobispo, Puebla de Híjar, Jatiel, Castelnou, Ejulve, Molinos, Alacón and Alcorisa.
For Endesa's General Manager for Sustainability, María Malaxechevarría, this Endesa plan for Andorra "is not just theory, it is a reality with which more than 30 entities in the area have collaborated with innovative and unique projects, which aim to generate employment by helping to diversify the economy in the surrounding area.
There will also be agrovoltaic activity in the parks of Calanda, Santa María (in the municipality of Samper de Calanda) and San Macario (in the municipality of Andorra), which will enjoy the collaboration of Cierpe for the cultivation of cereals, and Natur Nature for aromatics.
A rural promotion project was also developed, with a leading role played by entities such as Apicultura La Cerrada and its Museum of Beekeeping in Andorra, with the involvement of the Hotel Santa Bárbara and the Arkha rural accommodation, consisting of the promotion of sustainable tourism initiatives.
The project involves construction of 70MW Combined Cycle Gas Fired power plant in Ubungo II compound in Dar Es Salaam. It will help TANESCO to meet its expected power demand and planned generation capacity by August 2024.
Estonia has laid the cornerstone for what will become the largest battery park in continental Europe, a major step toward synchronising the Baltic power grids with Europe by 2025; the project, led by Evecon, Corsica Sole and Mirova, aims to bolster energy security and support Estonia's transition to renewable energy.
Billed as Asia's largest battery energy storage system for grid stabilization purposes, the system has a power output of 978 MW and a storage capacity of 889 MWh. The ceremony marking the completion of construction was held on Thursday, September 27, at the 154 kV Bubuk Substation in Miryang.
