utility procurement

Utility Puget Sound Energy has signed contracts for a solar PV project developed by Qcells and a standalone battery storage project from Brightnight and Cordelio Power in Washington, US.

The deal with the investor-owned public utility will further the German firm's ongoing efforts to reinvent itself as a renewables major.

NV Energy, the main electric utility for the US state of Nevada, has tendered for more than 300MW of renewable energy in a Request for Proposals that also includes consideration of battery energy storage paired with renewables.
