Enersense and EPV Aurinkovoima Oy have signed an agreement on the maintenance of the Heinineva solar power park. Heinineva, located in Lapua, is one of Finland’s largest solar power parks with a capacity of approximately 86 MWp and will produce more than 80 GWh of energy per year. Enersense has previously cooperated with EPV Energy, the parent company of EPV Solar Power, and thus Heinineva’s maintenance agreement deepens the partnership. Enersense is also responsible for the maintenance of EPV Alueverkko Oy’s substations and transmission lines. The agreement now signed will be entered in the order backlog of Enersense’s Power business…

6 November 2024. The Gippsland Dawn Offshore Wind Project has been granted Major Project Status (MPS) by the Australian Government—one of 16 diverse projects nationwide to receive this recognition and only the second offshore wind projects being developed to hold this status. The Australian Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, has written to Gippsland Dawn’s proponent, BlueFloat Energy, to confirm the granting of MPS. The decision recognises the national significance of the project to Australia’s development of an offshore renewable energy industry and energy transition. This decision means a Major Projects Facilitation Agency case manager will work closely with…

Gresham House Energy Storage Fund plc (LSE: GRID), the UK’s largest fund investing in utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), is pleased to announce the energisation of one new project and the energisation of battery duration augmentations on two existing projects adding 55MW and 176MWh of capacity to the operational portfolio. These projects are: – Elland, a 50MW / 100MWh new project near Leeds, was energised on 1 November.- Penwortham B, an augmentation to the original Penwortham site, was energised on 30 October, resulting in the project duration increasing to two hours (50MW / 100MWh)- Nevendon B was energised on 23 October.…

London, UK – 5th November 2024: Wild Hydrogen announces the launch of its crowdfunding campaign on Republic Europe to fund its groundbreaking 1 MW carbon-negative clear hydrogen prototype in Gloucestershire. Backed by £2.3m in cornerstone investments, this round, raising £6 million, aims to scale Wild Hydrogen’s proprietary Rising Pressure Reformer (RiPR) technology, which transforms biogenic materials into carbon-negative hydrogen fuel, bio-methane, biochar, and captured carbon dioxide directly addressing UK energy demands in hard-to-abate sectors such as construction, steel production, shipping, farming, and the manufacture of carbon-negative products. Innovative Technology and Market OpportunityWild Hydrogen’s RiPR technology utilises wet biogenic feedstocks, such as agricultural and waste…

Solar panel purchases have increased 13% year-on-year87% of people are either satisfied or very satisfied with their solar panel purchase High energy bills drive low carbon technology adoption across the UKThe Eco Experts latest National Home Energy Survey has revealed high satisfaction rates for domestic solar panels in the UK. The 2024 National Home Energy Survey of 2,184 UK adults found that of those who had previously bought solar panels, 87% were satisfied with their purchase.High satisfaction rates are most likely due to energy bill savings from the first day of installation. The average three-bedroom house will enjoy a 50% reduction in…
