UK companies TagEnergy and Harmony Energy have successfully energised the 49 MW / 98 MWh Jamesfield battery energy storage system (BESS) near Abernethy, Scotland. The Jamesfield BESS features 2-hour duration Tesla Megapack lithium-ion batteries, together with Tesla’s Autobidder AI software for real-time trading and control, with RES in place as the asset manager. The two companies brought the Jamesfield BESS online as a joint venture after TagEnergy acquired a 60% stake in the project in November 2021. Santander UK underpinned the BESS project with £12.5 million in funding. “This is another important marker for TagEnergy in the UK and beyond as we leverage our substantial storage expertise to help stabilise the grid and make a meaningful difference to the planet by relentlessly pursuing a renewables-led energy future,” said TagEnergy CEO Franck Woitiez. “We are proud to have delivered another vital project, this time with our valued partner Harmony Energy, that will enable more people to connect to more competitive renewable power. “Our three completed projects, together with the more than 200 MW of BESS under construction in the UK, is testament both to our commitment and the success of our approach. We look forward to bringing more projects online as we focus on helping the UK move closer towards net zero carbon emissions.” TagEnergy’s three operational BESS projects comprise the Hawkers Hill Energy Park, the Chapel Farm project, and the Jamesfield facility. “The completion of the Jamesfield BESS is another significant milestone for our valued partnership with TagEnergy, following the success of our other joint venture site, Chapel Farm,” commented Harmony Energy CEO Peter Kavanagh. “Battery energy storage systems are vital for unlocking the full potential of renewable energy in the UK. They play a pivotal role in advancing the Net Zero transition through the reduction of Co2 emissions, and are crucial for securing the future stability of the UK’s energy supply and reducing dependence on foreign gas imports.” #cleanenergy

European Energy has signed several long-term PPAs with Microsoft for the clean electricity generated by the company’s portfolio of wind and solar projects in Sweden and Denmark. “We are excited that Microsoft has committed itself to driving forward the green transition,” said Jens-Peter Zink, Deputy CEO of European Energy. “The roll-out of renewable power is dependent on major stakeholders dedicating themselves to buying the renewable electricity that is being produced from these assets, which require substantial capital investments." “At Microsoft, we are committed to playing our part in supporting the decarbonisation of energy grids in markets in which we operate,” commented Adrian Anderson, General Manager of Renewables, Carbon Free Energy, and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). "We’re pleased the projects we contracted with European Energy have achieved commercial operation – directly contributing to our sustainability goals which includes a 100% renewable energy coverage for the company’s operations by the end of 2025. “Having reliable partners who can deliver is critical for achieving our carbon negative goals.” Under the agreement, European Energy will supply over 3.6 TWh over the contract period, which will support Microsoft’s plans to power its 100% of its operations with renewables by 2025 and to be carbon negative by 2030. European Energy’s aforementioned renewables portfolio has a combined capacity of 180.6 MW and includes the region’s first utility-scale hybrid wind and solar project. #cleanenergy

ABO Wind becomes ABO Energy. Leading international renewable energy developer ABO Wind has rebranded in Northern Ireland to become ABO Energy. The company is leading NI's shift away from fossil fuels, having achieved planning approval for 375MW of renewable electricity generation and storage. Initially set up to develop onshore wind farms, the company’s focus has expanded, and its expertise has grown to include battery energy storage, solar PV and hydrogen production. Commenting on the rebrand, Patricia McGrath (MIPI), ABO Energy’s Head of Development in Northern Ireland said: “The name ABO Energy much better reflects the breadth of skills and expertise we now have. "The rebrand does not involve a change in company ownership, and our ethos remains unchanged. Everyone who deals with ABO Energy will see the same ambition, professionalism and respect they are used to from our team. “In addition to our already consented schemes, under the ABO Energy banner we are progressing a pipeline of new projects totalling over 300 MW and we expect that to grow further in the coming months. “There is a lot of work to do if we are to achieve the 2030 target of 80%; but at ABO Energy we are more than up for the challenge.” #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #SustainableInvestment

The Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) Draft 2024 Integrated System Plan (ISP) forecasts DER to reach approximately 120 GW by 2050 across rooftop solar and storage. This means Distributed energy resources (DER) will be the largest source of capacity – more than utility scale solar, utility scale wind and dwarfing most other sources of electricity capacity. DER already generate nearly 10% of Australia’s electricity. As that percentage grows, DER must be orchestrated to reduce costs and grid impacts. Action by energy suppliers and regulators could build trust, shared understanding and consumer confidence. #EY #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #BESS #EVs #V2G #VPP

Still a difficult climate for renewables in Australia, money is following storage projects — around $1bn — but investment in 6 to 7GWh of large scale generation needs to reach FID this year alone to keep pace with the Federal Government’s 82% renewable target by 2030. High interest rates and financing costs, growing frustrations about drawn out environmental approval processes, and botched long-term planning for transmission are holding renewables back, and there are no easy or quick solution to these issues. The hope now is that the revamped Capacity Investment Scheme now underway that expands government guarantees on project revenues will unlock new growth. #EnergyTransituon.
Investment in new large-scale energy storage projects continues to power ahead, and it was the best quarter for electricity generation projects reaching financial commitment since the end of 2022. Those are the headlines from our Renewable Projects Quarterly Investment report for Q1 2024, released today. The utility-scale storage sector in Australia has enjoyed a remarkable period. We reported in our Clean Energy Australia report that 2023 was record-breaking for that sector, and we’re glad to see that push continuing. Renewables firmed by storage is the future of Australia’s energy network, so this is welcome news. The large-scale generation space was in the investment doldrums in 2023, so while 895 MW being financially committed in Q1 isn’t a huge number, it is a sign things are moving in the right direction. Recent commitments by the Federal Government are designed to try to boost the performance of the generation sector, among others, so hopefully this is the beginning of a resurgence for the large-scale generation we need. Stay tuned to our channels for more updates on the state of clean energy in Australia, and to read the full report click here: https://lnkd.in/gJvSsT_Y #cleanenergy #renewableenergy
