Captona, a North American energy transition investment firm, has partnered with Sunrun to finance 9,400 residential solar and storage projects across more than 20 US states. The preferred equity investment covers 74 MW of solar generation and 110 MWh of battery storage. Sunrun said the project-level financing structure is designed to facilitate tax credit monetization and senior debt placements. Earlier this month, Sunrun expanded its distributed power plant in Puerto Rico to more than 60,000 customers. It now represents nearly 70,000 home batteries capable of delivering 45 MW of dispatchable power for up to four hours to support grid stability.
Philippines-based renewable energy developer RASLAG Liwayway has secured a Certificate of Authority (COA) from the Department of Energy (DOE) for its proposed 98.24 MW AC/132.034 MW DC solar power project integrated with 25 MW/120.38 MWh of BESS. The project is located in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. It will be developed in two phases, each combining approximately 67.09 MW DC/49.92 MW AC of solar capacity with a 12.5 MW/60.19 MWh BESS. The COA follows an assessment of the project's technical and financial feasibility and marks a step toward implementation, RASLAG said.
Denmark’s European Energy has agreed to sell a 50% stake in its 323 MW solar portfolio in the country to pension investment companies administered by Danish pension provider Sampension. The portfolio comprises the operational 148 MW Glejbjerg and 175 MW Holsted solar parks in Vejen, along with a planned 87 MW/351 MWh BESS. The transaction will strengthen the existing partnership between the companies, says European Energy, which also includes joint investments in Latvia and Greece. The deal is expected to close in December 2026.
UK-based independent power producer (IPP) Elgin has acquired its sixth project in Italy, a planned 72 MW facility in Belvedere di Aquileia, Udine, in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The project will combine a 57 MW agrivoltaic plant with a 15 MW BESS, with an estimated construction cost of €46 million. The facility will use elevated solar modules and monitoring technologies to enable electricity generation alongside continued agricultural activities. Elgin said the acquisition supports its goal of developing more than 3 GW of renewable energy projects in Italy by 2030.
UK-based project developer Ampeak Energy has completed the delivery of all batteries and key components for its 240 MWh Afon Wysg 1 (AW1) BESS project in Wales. Located at Uskmouth Sustainable Energy Park, the project includes 55 battery units supplied by e-STORAGE, a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, along with 36 inverters and associated grid infrastructure. It is expected to be energized in November 2026 and enter commercial operation in Q1 2027. Ampeak also plans to expand the project to 480 MWh.
Jinko ESS, the energy storage arm of Chinese solar manufacturer JinkoSolar, has delivered BESS with a combined capacity of approximately 65 MW/260 MWh across Australia. These projects are located in Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. The projects include standalone battery systems and solar-plus-storage installations. Jinko ESS has supplied its flagship SunTera G2 liquid-cooled battery systems and served as the BESS integrator, while Spain-based Ingeteam provided the power conversion systems. Jinko ESS said it has delivered more than 600 MWh of storage capacity in Australia.
Revolta AG, a German technology startup developing battery systems and power electronics, has installed and commissioned its first 10 kWh sodium-ion home battery storage system at a customer site in Germany. The system, near Aschaffenburg, comprises five battery modules. It is installed at a property that already houses around 20 kW solar PV system and a small hydroelectric power plant. Revolta says the installation marks the commercial launch of its residential sodium-ion storage solution. It plans to commission additional systems at selected customer sites across Germany in the coming weeks. Revolta is the recipient of funding from the State of Hesse under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to develop sodium-ion AC battery for households, even those without rooftop solar. This includes rental apartments.
Spanish renewable energy company Umbrella Global Energy has expanded its contract with ceramics manufacturer Pamesa Grupo Empresarial by €11.6 million to extend the Pamesa Net Zero project in Spain. The expansion will add 6.71 MW of solar PV capacity and 51 MWh of BESS across Pamesa’s additional industrial sites and existing facilities. The project integrates solar generation, battery storage and intelligent energy management technology supplied through Umbrella subsidiaries IM2 Energía Solar and Turbo Energy. The expansion builds on an initial €73.6 million contract signed in 2025, covering 80.56 MW of solar generation and 366.84 MWh of storage.
Alinta Energy, an Australian energy retailer and power generator, has commissioned its 100 MW/200 MWh Wagerup BESS project in Western Australia. The facility has been operating commercially since September 2026. Alinta said the project faced challenging site conditions that required design changes, including raising the battery platform and constructing retaining infrastructure. It adds storage capacity to Alinta Energy's generation portfolio.
