FRV reaches fin close on 55-MW Armenian solar project
FRV protected a USD-38.4-million (EUR 32.6 m) financial obligation financing bundle structured in different tranches from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the European Bank for Reconstruction and also Development (EBRD) as well as the European Union (EU). Ameriabank CJSC will certainly provide a local-currency lending to finance FRV's worth added tax (VAT) requires.
In 2018, FRV and the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Framework signed a Federal government Assistance Agreement (GSA) to create the photovoltaic or pv (PV) plant.
To be located in Mets Masrik district, Gegharkunik district, Masrik-1 will certainly be the initial of its kind in Armenia. When completed, the PV park is expected to produce over 128 GWh of clean power each year, enough to meet the demand of 20,000 regional homes.
Marsik-1 will offer electricity under a power acquisition arrangement (PPA) with energy Electricity Networks of Armenia at a tariff of USD 41.9 per MWh.

FRV selects Hithium batteries for 500-MWh Gnarwarre BESS, Victoria Australia
FRV Australia has chosen Hithium to supply batteries for the Gnarwarre battery energy storage system in Victoria, a 250-MW/500-MWh grid-forming project located roughly 20 km west of Geelong. Under the deal, Hithium will deliver 112 Block 5-MWh units, with integration supported by SMA Solar Technology power-conversion systems. The supplier will also provide commissioning services and a long-term service agreement, FRV and Hithium said.
Gnarwarre reached financial close on August 4, 2025, advancing via FRV’s portfolio facility and marking one of the developer’s largest standalone storage assets in Australia. The project will include grid-forming capabilities, enabling the battery to provide essential system-strength services such as virtual synchronous machine behaviour, improving stability as more inverter-based resources connect to the National Electricity Market.
Once operational, the two-hour system is expected to charge during periods of high renewable output and discharge at evening peaks, supporting reliability and helping reduce curtailment of nearby wind and solar. With growing electrification and coal retirements tightening supply-demand margins, dispatchable storage like Gnarwarre is becoming a cornerstone of Victoria’s transition plans.
The selection of Hithium’s containerised blocks and SMA PCS reflects a maturing supplier ecosystem for Australian storage, where bankability and service support across the asset life are key procurement criteria. The project’s combination of technology, scale and grid-support functionality positions it to participate across multiple value streams—capacity, arbitrage and ancillary services—once commissioning is complete.

FRV strategies 336-MW solar PV project with BESS in Chile
FRV called the project Tirana Oeste, saying in the declaring that it is a solar farm advancement and also staying clear of to call it a hybrid power plant despite the fact that setup of a 159-MW battery energy storage space system (BESS) remains in the strategy.
The Madrid-based firm, which belongs to Saudi Arabia's Abdul Latif Jameel Energy as well as runs globally, valued the financial investment at USD 303 million (EUR 269.1 m).
The project site is located in the commune of Pozo Almonte, where FRV intends to mount over 668,400 solar PV modules and the assorted facilities, including the BESS.
Need To the Tirana Oeste project be given authorization, FRV's Chilean team would release construction in June 2023, according to the ecological filing.

FRV launches first hybrid solar-storage park in Queensland
FRV, a global renewables developer, has launched a solar-plus-storage park in Queensland, Australia, marking its first hybrid project in the country. The Dalby site, located north of Brisbane, consists of 2.45 MW of solar arrays and a 2.5 MWp/5 MWh battery, providing enough electricity for over 1,680 homes annually. The project was designed by Spanish solar platform Gransolar and is connected to the grid.FRV Australia, a joint venture between Abdul Latif Jameel Energy and OMERS Infrastructure, is also working on additional hybrid projects in Australia. Two battery storage projects in Victoria, the 100-MW Terang and 250-MW Gnarwarre, are set to begin construction in the second half of 2024.

FRV and Harmony begin building of second battery storage project
FRV, owned by Saudi Arabian sector group Abdul Latif Jameel, has actually deployed numerous megawatts of wind and solar projects all over the world considering that 2006, when it constructed what was then the world's biggest solar plant, a 23MWdc project in Spain. However, the business only began its involvement in battery storage space in 2019 with the statement of its very first grid-scale battery project, the 7.5 MW/ 15MWh Holes Bay project in England.
Holes Bay was completed and commissioned in mid-2020, with FRV dealing with companions including UK developer and build-own-operate firm Harmony Energy. In November 2020, the pair after that announced its second project in the country, called Contego, in West Sussex, southern England.
The new project will certainly use 34MW/ 68MWh of Tesla's Megapack utility-scale lithium-ion battery storage service throughout 28 separate systems and also will certainly be optimized for real-time trading and also control applications utilizing the California tech company's Autobidder expert system (AI) software platform.
The system will be connected to the electricity network of UK Power Networks, among 6 regional circulation network drivers (DNOs) in Great Britain. It will certainly allow the DNO to shift energy stored at off-peak times to aid minimize the effect of optimals sought after in addition to incorporating renewable resource onto the network.
FRV and Harmony announced today that groundworks have actually started on the project, with building anticipated to be completed in June 2021.
At this year's Energy Storage Top 2021, sector analyst Lauren Cook from Solar Media Marketing research claimed that the UK now has a pipe of more than 14GW of battery projects at different phases of growth and also greater than 1.2 GW of lithium-ion battery storage online.
Harmony Energy has more than 500MW of battery energy storage plants construction-ready in the UK, and also in 2020 introduced its primary step right into the solar market, with a 30MW advancement near Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Solar energy Portal overtook the company' Chief Executive Officer Peter Kavanagh in December, to talk about the step and also what was following on the cards for Harmony.
