The Electricity Supply Board has opened a new major battery plant at its Aghada site in County Cork. The project will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power to Ireland's electricity system. Discover key trends, case studies, and expert insights.
[pdf] In April 2024, the EU approved the provision of 1 billion euros in national aid to Greece to support solar power projects with a cumulative capacity of 813 megawatts (MW), as well as associated energy storage facilities. . Greece is in the midst of a significant solar energy boom, with its solar PV pipeline projected to reach an impressive 44. 8 GW by 2028, according to Fitch Solutions. 6% of total electricity generation in Greece, up from 0. The measures contribute to achieving Greece's climate and energy targets, as well as the objectives of the European Green. . According to an analysis released by the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies (Helapco) in February, Greece added 1. 59 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic installed capacity in 2023, setting an annual record and contributing 74% of the new energy added that year.
[pdf] The World Bank is looking to recruit a technical consultant that will advise on a proposed large-scale solar-plus-battery storage project in Tunisia. . Voltalia, an international renewable energy company, announced on Thursday, Jan. 29, that it has been selected by the Tunisian government to develop a new 132-megawatt solar project named Wadi in the Gabès region of southeastern Tunisia. The Wadi project follows the company's successful awards of the Sagdoud project in May 2024 and the Menzel Habib project in December 2024 from the Tunisian government. The deadline for applications is March 24.
