The investment in Egypt Renewables Holdings B.V. will give the EBRD a minority equity stake, while Scatec will remain the majority shareholder. The vehicle is intended to finance the acquisition, development and construction of renewable energy infrastructure in Egypt and the wider southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) region.

EBRD Takes Minority Stake in Scatec Investment Vehicle

The equity commitment will provide long-term capital for the renewable energy portfolio, bringing together the EBRD as an institutional investor and Scatec as the majority commercial stakeholder. The vehicle’s initial focus is Egypt, where the planned capacity additions are intended to strengthen energy security and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels.

The EBRD’s investment of up to USD 221 million is an equity commitment rather than a conventional loan. The Bank says the arrangement will support the development of renewable energy infrastructure through its role as a shareholder, while Scatec gains access to institutional capital to advance its regional growth plans.

The portfolio is planned to include 2.7 GW of solar capacity, 900 MW of wind capacity and 4.2 GWh of battery energy storage. The announcement does not provide a schedule for developing the capacity or identify the individual projects that will be financed through the vehicle.

Energy Security Drives Egypt Renewable Energy Investment

Harry Boyd-Carpenter, Managing Director of the EBRD’s Sustainable Infrastructure Group, said the investment would help address Egypt’s energy challenges.

“This equity investment marks an important step in strengthening Egypt’s energy security,” he said in the announcement. “By partnering with Scatec, the EBRD is providing long-term capital as a shareholder, helping to expand access to reliable renewable energy. This will help to address one of the country’s most pressing development challenges while reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels.”

The planned combination of solar and wind generation with battery energy storage forms the basis of the portfolio’s renewable energy and storage strategy. The EBRD identifies energy security and lower dependence on imported fossil fuels as the principal objectives of the investment.

Scatec Chief Executive Officer Terje Pilskog said Egypt had become one of the company’s most important markets.

“Egypt has become one of Scatec’s most important markets, and this platform reflects both the scale of what we are building there and the quality of the assets we have developed. Partnering with the EBRD brings institutional capital and a long-term commitment that will accelerate Scatec’s growth ambitions across the region.”

Projects Linked to Egypt’s Nexus Initiative

The renewable energy projects supported by the investment will be developed under the energy pillar of Egypt’s Nexus of Water, Food and Energy initiative. The initiative was launched at the COP27 climate conference in Sharm El Sheikh.

According to the EBRD, the energy pillar supports private-sector renewable energy capacity, electricity-network investment, skills development and a just energy transition. The new investment vehicle therefore forms part of a broader institutional framework for advancing Egypt’s energy priorities.

The portfolio’s initial targets include 2.7 GW of solar capacity, 900 MW of wind capacity and 4.2 GWh of battery storage. The EBRD has not disclosed how the equity commitment will be allocated across individual projects or when the planned capacity will be delivered.

EBRD Builds on Existing Partnership With Scatec

Scatec ASA is a Norway-based integrated power producer specialising in renewable energy solutions. Founded in 2007, the company has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2014.

The EBRD describes Scatec as a long-standing partner in renewable energy and battery storage projects across the Bank’s countries of operation. The new investment vehicle extends that relationship through a direct equity stake, with Scatec retaining majority ownership.

The arrangement provides a structure for financing the acquisition, development and construction of renewable energy infrastructure in Egypt and the wider SEMED region. The Bank’s participation is intended to provide long-term shareholder capital for the portfolio.

Investment Expands EBRD’s Presence in Egypt

The equity commitment builds on the EBRD’s existing investment activity in Egypt. Since beginning operations in the country in 2012, the Bank has invested more than USD 17.9 billion across 238 projects, according to its figures.

The new vehicle is intended to support renewable energy infrastructure initially in Egypt, with the potential to facilitate projects elsewhere in the SEMED region. However, the EBRD’s announcement does not specify additional countries, individual projects or a timetable for expanding beyond the initial portfolio.

The planned 2.7 GW of solar capacity, 900 MW of wind capacity and 4.2 GWh of battery storage define the initial scope of the investment. With the EBRD as a minority shareholder and Scatec retaining majority ownership, Egypt Renewables Holdings B.V. will provide a structure for pursuing the planned renewable energy and storage development.

The EBRD has committed up to USD 221 million in equity, but the announcement does not disclose a detailed breakdown of the commitment or a completion schedule for the planned capacity additions.

Published on 22nd October 2026, the preliminary draft initiates the process of amending and updating the 2025 Site Development Plan. It builds on the current draft amendment to Germany’s Offshore Wind Energy Act (WindSeeG) and addresses future offshore wind development areas, coordination with grid connections and potential cross-border projects.

Alongside the draft plan, the BSH has released a draft scoping document for the Strategic Environmental Assessment, supported by maps and additional studies. Authorities and members of the public have until 3rd December 2026 to submit comments as part of the consultation process.

Germany Identifies 14 Areas for Offshore Wind Development

The preliminary draft proposes designating 14 areas for future offshore wind projects across several planning zones. According to the German Offshore Wind Energy Association (BWO), the proposed areas include four sites in zone N-14, eight in N-16, and two additional sites identified as N-6.9 and N-12.7.

The draft also identifies 13 further sites for potential future development. These additional areas are not expected to receive formal designation during the current planning process.

BWO has welcomed the proposed site sizes of approximately 1 GW each and the BSH’s plans to carry out centralised preliminary investigations of additional sites. The association believes these measures could broaden participation in offshore wind auctions, strengthen competition and reduce planning risks.

The preliminary draft also proposes an average adjusted power density of 7.3 MW/km² for new sites in zones 4 and 5. This is below the general upper limit of 8 MW/km² advocated by BWO.

Power density determines the installed generation capacity within a given offshore area. The association supports a lower density approach to help reduce wake effects between turbines and improve electricity generation.

Cross-Border Projects Could Support Offshore Wind Generation

International cooperation is another element of Germany’s updated offshore wind planning framework. The preliminary draft allows cross-border projects to contribute towards the country’s national capacity targets.

BWO has highlighted cooperation with Denmark as an opportunity to develop offshore wind projects connected across national borders. The association referred to a joint study with the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW), which examined the relationship between turbine density, cross-border connections and electricity generation.

According to the study, lower power densities in German waters, combined with connections to offshore wind farms in neighbouring countries, could increase electricity generation while reducing costs per kilowatt-hour.

The proposed approach places cross-border coordination alongside domestic site designation and grid planning as Germany works towards its offshore wind expansion target.

Industry Calls for Contracts for Difference in Future Auctions

While welcoming the long-term planning framework, BWO has stressed that Germany’s offshore wind ambitions will also depend on investment conditions and regulatory certainty. The association argues that the ongoing amendment to the Offshore Wind Energy Act should introduce mechanisms that improve project financing and support investment decisions.

BWO is calling for indexed, two-sided Contracts for Difference (CfDs) to be used in all future offshore wind auctions instead of a two-stage model.

Stefan Thimm, Managing Director of BWO, said the preliminary draft provides a long-term outlook for offshore wind development, while emphasising the need for political and regulatory conditions that enable planned sites to translate into investment.

Contracts for Difference can help reduce revenue uncertainty by linking payments to an agreed reference price. BWO’s proposal reflects its position that the future auction framework should provide greater predictability for offshore wind investments.

BWO Questions a Uniform Overbuilding Requirement

The association has also raised concerns about a proposed uniform requirement for offshore wind farms to install generation capacity 10% above their grid connection capacity.

Overbuilding allows a wind farm’s installed capacity to exceed the maximum power its grid connection can transmit. Although this can increase the use of grid infrastructure when generation is below the connection limit, it may also raise investment costs and lead to additional curtailment during periods of high wind generation.

A study by Frontier Economics, commissioned by BWO and BDEW, found that the economically optimal level of overbuilding ranges from 5% to 10%, depending on site-specific conditions.

On this basis, BWO supports setting individual requirements for each offshore wind site rather than applying a uniform percentage across all projects. The association argues that site-specific assessments would better reflect differences in project conditions and economics.

Grid Development Must Align With Offshore Wind Construction

Coordinating offshore wind construction with the availability of grid connections remains another planning priority. BWO has emphasised that the development sequence for projects scheduled to enter operation by 2038 should support a steady expansion aligned with grid infrastructure timelines.

The association has also welcomed the draft’s integrated approach to extending the operating life of existing offshore wind farms and planning the future reuse of their sites.

BWO is calling for grid connections to remain available until decommissioning activities have been completed. It also wants dismantling work and subsequent construction plans to be coordinated sufficiently in advance.

These issues form part of the wider challenge of aligning offshore wind development, electricity transmission and the management of existing infrastructure as Germany plans for additional capacity.

Consultation Will Inform the Updated Site Development Plan

BWO plans to review the preliminary draft’s detailed provisions with its member companies during the public consultation period before submitting its comments in early December.

The consultation provides an opportunity for stakeholders to respond to proposed offshore wind areas, environmental assessment requirements, grid coordination and other planning provisions before the updated plan is finalised.

Until the revised Site Development Plan is formally adopted, the 2025 plan, as most recently amended, will remain in force.

The preliminary draft sets out a pathway towards Germany’s target of 70 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2045. Its implementation will depend on the final planning framework, investment conditions, grid infrastructure development and coordination between national and cross-border projects.

The order marks Nordex’s entry into the New Zealand wind energy market. The agreement also includes a 30-year service contract, covering the turbines over an extended operating period.

The New Zealand wind farm is located in the eastern foothills of the Lammermoor Range in the Otago region. With average wind speeds exceeding 8 metres per second, the site offers conditions for wind power generation. Installation of the first turbine, mounted on a 90-metre tubular steel tower, is scheduled to begin in early 2028, with commissioning of the first unit planned for mid-2028.

Nordex Supplies 40 Wind Turbines for Puke Kapo Hau

The order comprises 40 Nordex N133/4.8 turbines, providing a total installed capacity of 192 MW. The project represents the company’s first supply agreement in New Zealand and establishes a commercial relationship with Mercury, a major electricity generation and retail company in the country.

The accompanying 30-year service agreement forms a key part of the deal. Nordex will provide long-term service support for the turbines, while the agreement is intended to support Mercury throughout the wind farm’s operating lifecycle.

The Puke Kapo Hau development adds to Mercury’s wind energy activities and gives Nordex an entry point into a new national market. The company plans to combine its turbine technology and project experience with local expertise as it prepares for project execution and subsequent operations.

Installation Planned to Begin in Early 2028

The Puke Kapo Hau wind farm is planned for the eastern foothills of the Lammermoor Range in Otago. The site has average wind speeds of more than 8 metres per second, according to the project announcement.

Installation of the first turbine on a 90-metre tubular steel tower is scheduled to start in early 2028. Commissioning of the first unit is planned for mid-2028. The announcement does not specify a full wind farm completion date or provide a detailed schedule for installing the remaining turbines.

The project will require coordination across turbine installation, crane services and final run activities. Nordex plans to work with local companies in these areas as it prepares to deliver the project.

Mercury Expands Its Wind Energy Development

Mercury Chief Executive Officer Stew Hamilton said the company was pleased to work with Nordex on its first New Zealand wind farm development.

“Mercury has delivered five of the six wind farms constructed in New Zealand over the past five years, demonstrating our ability to execute major renewable energy projects safely, on time and on budget. Puke Kapo Hau marks the next phase of our wind energy development, and we’re pleased to be partnering with Nordex to help deliver new generation for New Zealand. Nordex has had a significant presence in Australia for many years, and we’re happy to support a new wind technology supplier into the New Zealand market.”

Mercury has an established renewable electricity generation portfolio in New Zealand. The Puke Kapo Hau project marks the next stage of its wind development programme and introduces Nordex as a new wind turbine supplier in the country’s market.

Nordex Plans to Build Local Project Capabilities

For Nordex, the Mercury order provides an opportunity to establish its presence in New Zealand. The company has operated in Australia for many years and plans to develop its local capabilities in preparation for project delivery and ongoing service operations.

Alberto Perez, Managing Director Australia of the Nordex Group, said entering the market with Mercury as its first customer was an important step for the company.

“Entering the New Zealand market with Mercury as our first customer represents an important step for the Nordex Group. New Zealand has excellent wind resources and ambitious renewable energy opportunities, making it a very attractive market for us. We are particularly pleased that Mercury has placed its confidence in our technology and our team for this significant project. With the combination of the N133/4.8 and our long-term service offering, we look forward to supporting Mercury over the full lifecycle of the wind farm.”

Nordex’s current plans include working with local contractors on crane services, turbine installation activities and final run activities. This approach is intended to combine the company’s international turbine and project experience with local expertise.

Long-Term Service Agreement Supports Project Operations

The 30-year service agreement extends the relationship beyond the initial turbine order and covers a substantial part of the wind farm’s operating lifecycle. The agreement accompanies the supply of the 40 turbines and forms part of the overall arrangement between Mercury and Nordex.

The 192 MW Puke Kapo Hau project establishes Nordex’s first position in New Zealand’s wind energy market. With initial turbine installation scheduled for early 2028 and commissioning of the first unit planned for mid-2028, the project will progress through preparation, installation and operational stages in the coming years.

For Mercury, the order supports its next wind farm development. For Nordex, the agreement creates an entry point into New Zealand while its plans for local contractor involvement help prepare the company for project execution and long-term service delivery.

The Chinese wind turbine manufacturer confirmed that the final turbine has been erected at the site. Each GWH182 turbine has a rated capacity of 7.2 MW, bringing the wind farm’s planned total capacity to 43.2 MW. According to Goldwind, installation of the six turbines was completed in 53 days, with the project team maintaining its safety and quality standards throughout the work.

First Deployment of Goldwind’s GWH182 Platform in Georgia

The Breti wind farm project marks the first deployment of Goldwind’s GWH182 platform in Georgia. The installation provides an opportunity for local engineering and operating teams to gain experience with the turbine technology as the country develops its wind energy capacity.

The six turbines were installed in challenging terrain, requiring careful coordination between the manufacturer, project developer and local teams. Georgia’s mountainous landscape can complicate wind farm construction, particularly when transporting large turbine components along narrow and winding roads.

Moving turbine blades, tower sections and other heavy equipment to the site requires detailed transport planning and logistics management. Uneven ground and changing wind conditions also increase the importance of site-specific engineering and installation procedures.

Goldwind said the installation was completed within the planned 53-day period while meeting the project’s safety and quality requirements. The completion of turbine erection represents an important step towards bringing the wind farm into operation.

Testing and Commissioning Ahead of Commercial Operations

Although turbine installation is complete, the Breti wind farm must still pass testing and commissioning before it can begin commercial electricity generation. These processes will assess the installed equipment and confirm operational readiness ahead of the start of service.

Once operational, the 43.2 MW project will add wind generation capacity to Georgia’s electricity system. The final date for commercial operations has not been specified in the supplied information.

Goldwind Expands Its Presence in Georgia

Goldwind said it has secured nine wind power projects in Georgia since entering the market in 2024. The projects represent a combined capacity of 438 MW, indicating a growing project pipeline for the manufacturer in the country.

The Breti installation adds to that presence and introduces the GWH182 platform to the Georgian market. Its progress also highlights the construction and logistical requirements involved in developing wind energy infrastructure in mountainous locations.

Completion of turbine installation brings the project closer to operation, although testing and commissioning remain necessary before the facility can begin supplying electricity.

The battery system is located alongside the onshore converter station for Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm. It comprises 170 Megapack battery units designed to store surplus electricity and release it when demand increases, supporting grid balancing and the integration of renewable energy.

The project brings together specialists from Ørsted, Hitachi Energy, Knights Brown and Tesla. Once completed and operational, Iceni is expected to rank among Europe’s largest battery energy storage systems.

Iceni Battery Storage Project Reaches Construction Milestone

The Iceni facility is designed to provide 300 MW of power and 600 MWh of energy storage capacity. According to Ørsted, this is equivalent to the daily electricity consumption of approximately 80,000 UK homes.

The system uses 170 Megapack units installed across two separate areas of the site. These areas are divided by the Hornsea 3 onshore converter station, creating a more complex layout than a conventional battery storage facility with a single connected site.

The two sections are linked by 18 cross-site cables operating at 33 kV, each extending more than 600 metres. Integrating the battery system with Hornsea 3’s shared grid connection has also introduced additional technical requirements compared with a standalone connection to the National Grid.

The successful completion of construction represents an important step towards bringing the storage facility into service. The remaining work includes electrical installation, cable termination, commissioning and preparations to energise the battery storage transformer.

Battery Storage to Support Renewable Energy Integration

Beatrice d’Eufemia, Project Manager for Iceni BESS at Ørsted, said, “It is a milestone moment for Ørsted that construction is now complete on our first large scale BESS in the UK. The system will make the best use of renewable energy produced in the UK as when electricity generation exceeds demand, the excess can be stored and then used when demand is greater, helping balance the grid and lower electricity costs for everyone.”

The facility’s 600 MWh capacity and 300 MW power rating define how much energy it can store and the rate at which it can deliver electricity. Actual operating performance will depend on commissioning outcomes, operating conditions and the requirements of the electricity system.

Complex Site Layout Requires Cross-Company Coordination

The project’s split-site configuration has required close coordination among the organisations involved in construction and electrical integration. The two battery areas must operate as part of a connected system despite being separated by the offshore wind farm’s onshore converter station.

Installing and terminating the 33 kV cross-site cables is a key part of this process. The shared grid connection with Hornsea 3 also adds complexity to the integration and commissioning work.

Richard Swann, Construction Manager for Iceni BESS at Ørsted, said, “It’s a real testament to the hard work, dedication, and co-operation of the team from many different organisations that the construction has been completed successfully.”

The project team includes specialists from Ørsted, Hitachi Energy, Knights Brown and Tesla, combining expertise in energy infrastructure, electrical systems, construction and battery technology.

Project Supports UK Energy Infrastructure Development

The project has also created opportunities for local skills development and employment. David Shillabeer, Head of Transmission & Distribution at Knights Brown, said, “Reaching this milestone is a significant achievement for everyone involved in the Iceni project. Delivering a BESS of this scale has required close collaboration between Ørsted, Knights Brown, and the many other organisations that have contributed to its success. Beyond the engineering, the scheme has enabled us to invest in local people, develop skills, and create opportunities across Norfolk and the wider region. We are proud to have played our part in an important project that will support the UK’s transition to a more resilient, low-carbon energy system, while leaving a positive legacy for the communities in which we work.”

With construction complete, Iceni is moving towards the remaining commissioning and energisation stages before full operation. Its planned 300 MW output and 600 MWh storage capacity are intended to provide additional flexibility for the UK electricity system and support the use of renewable power.

The development marks Ørsted’s entry into large-scale battery energy storage in the UK and demonstrates the role of storage infrastructure alongside offshore wind generation.

The test marks a technical development in integrating renewable energy into grid restoration procedures. As wind and solar power account for a growing share of electricity generation in the region, grid-forming technology could provide additional resources for restoring local power supplies when conventional grid connections are unavailable.

Grid-Forming Technology Supports Black Start Capability

Black start refers to the process of restoring electricity generation and transmission after a widespread blackout without relying on an external power supply to restart the system. Conventional wind turbines generally follow the voltage and frequency established by the grid, meaning they cannot independently restart a power system after a complete loss of supply.

Grid-forming wind turbines, when integrated with energy storage, can establish voltage and frequency independently. This capability allows the equipment to energize selected electrical infrastructure and potentially support the gradual restoration of other equipment within a wind farm.

During the wind farm black start test, energy storage equipment helped the grid-forming system establish voltage and energize the 35 kV collector line. The equipment then operated stably for more than three hours, demonstrating that a single grid-forming turbine could drive the restart process for the wind farm under the tested conditions.

The result provides a potential pathway for incorporating renewable generation into emergency grid restoration strategies. However, wider deployment will depend on technical requirements, system configuration and validation under different grid conditions.

Renewable Energy Growth Increases Grid Restoration Needs

The test comes as renewable energy capacity continues to expand across Hebei’s southern power grid. By the end of September 2026, installed wind and solar capacity in the region had reached 59.23 million kilowatts, equivalent to 59.23 GW, accounting for more than 61% of total installed capacity.

With wind and solar resources representing a growing proportion of the regional generation mix, grid operators are exploring ways to maintain stability and restore electricity supply during major disruptions. Wind farms equipped with grid-forming systems and energy storage could potentially provide local support alongside established black start resources, including pumped-storage hydropower.

The ability to establish voltage without an external grid supply is particularly relevant during emergency conditions. It could help reduce dependence on conventional generation sources for initial restoration and provide additional options for reconnecting parts of the electricity network.

Simulation and Risk Assessment Preceded the Test

Before the field test, technical specialists from the State Grid Hebei Electric Power Research Institute developed a high-precision simulation model to assess system behaviour under complex operating conditions. The team repeatedly evaluated risks associated with key stages, including voltage establishment, grid connection and stable load carrying.

This preparatory work helped assess the system’s response before the technology was tested at the wind farm. During the field operation, the integrated grid-forming and energy storage equipment established voltage and energized the collector line, after which the system maintained stable operation for more than three hours.

The successful test indicates that the technology can support a defined black start sequence at the station level. Further engineering work and operational validation would be needed to establish how the approach could be applied across different wind farms and wider network restoration scenarios.

Wind Farms Could Expand Emergency Power Resources

The Liuqing test adds wind generation to the range of resources being evaluated for grid restoration in Hebei. By combining grid-forming turbines with energy storage, operators could potentially use renewable energy facilities as local emergency resources rather than relying exclusively on conventional generation and storage assets.

The approach may be particularly useful in areas with high renewable energy penetration, where maintaining reliable electricity supply requires new methods of coordinating generation, storage and grid control systems.

The successful demonstration provides an engineering example for further evaluation in North China and other regions with substantial wind and solar capacity. Its wider contribution will depend on the ability to replicate the performance under different network configurations, operating conditions and restoration requirements.

As renewable generation expands, grid-forming technology could become an increasingly important part of strategies to strengthen electricity system resilience and accelerate recovery from major power disruptions.

The two projects strengthen Acciona Energía’s wind power portfolio in Croatia, where the company has operated the 30 MW Jelinak wind farm since 2013. Croatia had 1,309 MW of installed wind capacity at the end of the first half of 2026, according to a WindEurope report. Globally, Acciona Energía’s total installed capacity reached 14.7 GW by the end of June 2026.

Wind Farms Add 72 MW of Capacity

One of the Croatian wind farms, The Opor wind farm, located in the Split-Dalmatia region, has a capacity of 27 MW and comprises six wind turbines. The other one, Boraja II, situated in Šibenik-Knin County, adds 45 MW through ten turbines. Both facilities use 4.5 MW Nordex turbines mounted on 105-metre steel towers.

Together, the wind farms are expected to generate approximately 203 GWh of electricity annually. Acciona Energía estimates that their output will prevent around 135,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. During peak construction activity, the projects created up to 400 direct jobs.

Both wind farms operate under 12-year contracts for difference (CfDs) awarded through a public auction. The scheme was launched by the Croatian government and HROTE and approved by the European Commission to support renewable energy deployment.

Under the CfD mechanism, projects receive a reference price for the electricity they generate. This arrangement provides greater revenue stability and reduces exposure to fluctuations in wholesale electricity prices, according to Acciona Energía.

Acciona Energía Expands Its Croatian Renewable Energy Portfolio

Acciona Energía secured support for the two wind projects at Croatia’s first auction for utility-scale renewable electricity plants in July 2022. The company was the only successful bidder to win premiums for wind power projects in that auction.

In 2024, Acciona Energía also secured a 12-year CfD agreement for its Promina photovoltaic project in Šibenik-Knin County, expanding its presence in Croatia’s solar energy sector.

The start of commercial operations at Opor and Boraja II marks a further step in the company’s Croatian development activities, adding new wind generation capacity supported by long-term electricity pricing arrangements.

Vopak will develop and operate the facility, which is designed to provide 150 MW of power capacity and four hours of storage. Commercial operations are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2028.

The expansion of wind and solar generation is increasing the need for flexibility across electricity systems. Battery storage enables surplus electricity to be stored during periods of high renewable output and released when demand rises or renewable generation falls. The agreement will strengthen Vattenfall’s ability to match renewable electricity production with customer demand and support its target of contracting at least 1.5 GW of battery capacity across its core markets.

Erik Suichies, Head of Wholesale Energy at Vattenfall, highlighted the importance of flexibility as the energy system transitions towards a greater share of renewable power. He said energy storage can improve the use of renewable electricity while contributing to a more reliable and efficient system.

For Vopak, the agreement represents a step in expanding its business into electrical energy storage. Jarno Veldhoven, Vice President Business Development Battery Energy Storage Solutions at Vopak, said the company is investing in energy transition infrastructure to address growing demand for battery storage as renewables become a larger part of the energy mix. He also welcomed Vattenfall as a long-term partner and reaffirmed Vopak’s aim to provide reliable and affordable battery systems to customers.

The partnership brings together Vattenfall’s power market activities and Vopak’s planned storage infrastructure to support greater integration of renewable electricity into the Dutch power system. Earlier this year, Vattenfall partnered with Nexra on offshore wind operations and maintenance.
