Aura Power has achieved two major milestones for renewable energy projects in Italy and the UK. The company has received a permit to build a 200-MW/800-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Italy and a 49.9-MW solar park in England. The BESS site near Maddaloni in Caserta province in southern Italy will have a storage capacity that can power 35,000 homes at peak demand periods, enhancing the grid’s stability while the Horton solar farm is capable of supplying 21% of East Devon's homes. Both projects are part of Aura Power's 1-GW battery storage pipeline in Italy and 80-MW solar project awaiting planning decisions in the UK.
