Frontier Energy has secured firm commitments for an AU$110 million equity raising for the 132MW first stage of its Waroona project in WA.

With BESS in the generation mix, energy is no longer simply generated and exposed to the market; it can be stored and used when most valuable.

What financing options are there for renewable developers who find themselves shut out of some of Europe’s supportive auction programmes?

Government policy and market factors are the main conditions encouraging the co-location of renewable generation projects and BESS.

Developers of co-located solar-plus-storage projects need to ensure their projects are designed to ‘solve’ the challenges faced by offtakers.

The Irish renewable energy market is 'stable, with a regular cadence of activity,' according to the BNRG Group's David Maguire.

A faster rollout of solar and storage could cut the operating costs of European energy by 49% by 2030, according to SolarPower Europe.

US solar is 'relatively strong [because] the fundamentals for solar are really strong,' Aurora Solar's Fox Swim tells PV Tech Premium.

Enery has closed a €460 million (US$534 million) syndicated green project financing for a 761MWp solar, 1GWh-plus BESS project in Romania.

Polish IPP R.Power has raised US$50.7 million (€43 million) in finance to support the development of a 70.5MW solar PV portfolio in Poland.
