Grenergy has signed a pioneering 10-year financial tolling agreement with an international utility rated Investment Grade by Moody’s for its stand-alone battery project in Oviedo.

The UK Government has granted consent for the Outer Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm, located in the Southern North Sea, 54km (33 miles) from the Lincolnshire Coast.

Arenko has expanded its commercial collaboration with RWE, rolling out its software to support optimization of three additional co-located solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, totalling 150MW, in the UK.

Following the successful advancement of multiple projects in Spain, VORN Bioenergy is taking the next strategic step on the Iberian Peninsula. VORN Bioenergy and Prado Energia have entered into a strategic co-development partnership to accelerate the development of biomethane projects in Portugal.

Onshore wave energy technology company Eco Wave Power has announced the successful completion of a feasibility study for a potential wave energy power station at the Port of Ngqura, South Africa.

European renewable energy investor Octopus Energy Generation is investing nearly $1 billion in two Californian carbon removal companies and in heat batteries to fast-track decarbonisation.

The European Energy Efficiency Financing Coalition, comprising the Commission, EU countries and stakeholders from the private sector and financing bodies, met recently to discuss future priorities and a longer-term financial injection to advance on energy efficiency. Participants called for coordinated support and energy efficiency solutions across the industry.

Low-carbon hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a crucial solution to support a cleaner energy future. Its greatest potential lies in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, including iron and steel production, chemical manufacturing, and long-haul transport. With less than 1% of global hydrogen supply currently low-carbon, blue hydrogen serves as a critical transitional solution to scale production and move toward a hydrogen-based economy. According to IDTechEx’s latest report, “Blue Hydrogen Production and Markets 2026-2036: Technologies, Forecasts, Players”, the global blue hydrogen market is projected to reach $52 billion by 2036, growing at a CAGR of 22%.

Norwegian smart EV charging technology specialist Easee has successfully completed a pilot programme with Subaru in Canada’s Northwest Territories, demonstrating that an electric vehicle can be charged in the remote sub-Arctic using power generated solely from portable solar panels.

The UK Government finally announced the £15 billion Warm Homes Plan late last month, aiming to provide funding for solar, heat pumps and home batteries. This has generated fresh attention with regard to whether this investment will genuinely bring down energy bills or merely risk adding to system costs without the right coordination.

Chris Bernkopf, CEO of Austrian software company Podero, believes that without the use of home energy devices, consumers will continue to foot the bill for expensive grid upgrades, even as the adoption of low-carbon tech accelerates.

REM talked to Chris about how homes can actively support the energy system, easing pressure on the grid, reducing infrastructure costs and helping households to achieve faster and more meaningful savings.

Poco más de cincuenta megavatios (51,2) en los últimos tres años (2023, 2024 y 2025) y más de 57 megas en solo 31 días, los de este mes de enero. Y hay más: porque de camino vienen... ¡25.000! Es la revolución del almacenamiento de electricidad en baterías. Los números los ha hecho públicos hoy la Asociación de Empresas de Energías Renovables (APPA) en su último Informe Mensual sobre Acceso y Conexión, Energías Renovables y Almacenamiento, que recoge datos a 31 de enero de este año, 2026.
