Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV)

Our Winton Solar Farm in Victoria, Australia, received the visit of the Victorian Minister for Climate Action, Energy & Resources, Lily D’Ambrosio MP. Our CEO for Australia, Carlo Frigerio, walked through the site with the Minister discussing the details of this important project and its role in advancing #RenewableEnergy in Australia.

FRV and AmpTank partnering to launch our first battery energy storage system in Finland.   Located in Simo, near Fingrid's Simojoki substation, just 100 km below the Arctic Circle, this 60 MWh site represents an important milestone in our mission to support Finland's renewable energy grid.   The first phase of the project will feature 26 Sungrow PowerTitan batteries with a capacity of 60 MWh. With a view to future growth, discussions are underway for a second phase that could expand the site's capacity to 200 MWh.   This #BESS, which will start operating in the first quarter of 2025, will make Finland the third market where #FRV has grid-scale energy storage, joining the UK and Australia. Thanks to its advanced optimization capabilities, the system will improve the stability and efficiency of the Finnish grid, facilitating greater integration of renewable energy.   Our Business Development Director, Tristán Higuero, said: “This project is an important step in supporting Finland's renewable energy transition. We are delighted to work with AMP Tank to drive innovation in energy storage across the Nordic region.”   We are proud to continue to bring innovative energy storage solutions to new markets, driving a resilient and sustainable global energy landscape.   Read more about this project here: https://lnkd.in/dgnGWCv2

On this year's #WorldCitiesDay, we highlight the city of London. London is one of the world's most important financial centers, but its leadership in the ranking of the most #SustainableCities, according to the #CitiesInMotionIndex (CIMI) 2024, goes far beyond economics. The UK capital has stood out for its ability to promote economic growth based on sustainability, combining quality employment, innovation and strong governance, all in favor of the planet. 🚗 A key element of this strategy is the #UltraLowEmissionZone (ULEZ), designed to reduce air pollution. In this zone, vehicles that do not meet emissions standards must pay a fee, incentivizing the use of cleaner alternatives. Complementing this measure, congestion charging aims to reduce traffic in central London, not only decongesting the city, but also reducing carbon emissions. 🌳 Urban #Sustainability also involves investment in green infrastructure, such as the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which not only improves air quality but also provides recreational spaces for Londoners. In terms of energy, London promotes renewable sources through projects such as the Edmonton waste-to-energy plant, which converts waste into electricity, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. 🚴♂️ #SustainableMobility has been another central pillar of London's strategy, with investments in cycling infrastructure and bike-sharing programs, as well as innovations such as the use of cable cars to reduce traffic and emissions. With one of our sites in London, we at #FRV are aligned with the city's goals, contributing to this change with innovative #RenewableEnergy solutions. London is positioning itself not only as a financial benchmark, but also as a leading city in the fight against climate change, with a view to carbon neutrality by 2030.

On World Tree Day, FRV took a significant step toward a sustainable future by planting 1,000 trees at our La Solanilla PV plant in Trujillo, Spain. This initiative reflects our commitment to preserving our planet and fostering biodiversity, one tree at a time. At FRV, we believe that renewable energy and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Through actions like these, we aim to contribute to a healthier ecosystem, support local communities, and create a lasting positive impact. We’re proud to plant the seeds of a greener tomorrow, today. It was abeautiful action lead by our O&M and Asset Management teams! 🌱 #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #LaSolanilla #Biodiversity #GreenFuture
