EDF Renewables signs PPA for Texas solar farm
EDF Renewables North America has performed a 20-year virtual power acquisition agreement from its Millers Branch solar project. Under the offer, with Thermo Fisher Scientific will certainly take the complete output of the 200MWac/256MWdc project, which is located in Texas as well as slated for commercial operation in December 2025. Once complete, the project is anticipated to create 545,000 MWh of renewable resource yearly, sufficient to fulfill the consumption of virtually 51,000 average homes. With the enhancement of Miller's Branch to Thermo Fisher's renewable resource procurement portfolio, the business has actually bought sufficient renewable resource to match 100% of its current annual power consumption in the US by 2026. " The purchase of low carbon electrical energy from Millers Branch Solar supports Thermo Fisher's progress toward its net-zero commitment," said Valerie Barros, Senior Director of Origination and also Power Marketing at EDF Renewables. " The project will also contribute to the neighborhood economy-- the building stage will certainly give task production, neighborhood spending with vendors, and also an increased tax base. We praise Thermo Fisher for taking vibrant activity to power its US websites with 100% renewable electrical power and are honoured to partner with them on these long-term acquisition agreements."

EDF inks solar energy have fun with Network Rail
EDF Renewables and also Network Rail have authorized a power purchase agreement (PPA) covering output from the 50MW Bloy's Grove solar farm in Norfolk, which got planning authorization in June this year. The agreement will certainly cover around 15% of Network Rail's yearly consumption of non-traction power being made use of in workplaces, depots and railway stations throughout the country. This improves the existing traction supply partnership in between Network Rail and also the bigger EDF Group in the UK. The PPA remains in line with Network Rail's commitment to sourcing 100% of non-traction energy from renewable sources by 2030 as part of its ecological sustainability approach. Jo Lewington, Network Rail's primary environment and sustainability officer, said: "Rail is currently in a solid position in terms of its green qualifications, but it's vital that we do whatever we can as a company to boost air quality, minimise our use fossil fuels, as well as transition to an industry powered by green, renewable, low-carbon energy. " Our vision is to offer the country with the cleanest, greenest form of public transport as well as this agreement marks an additional crucial action towards attaining our objectives." Rail Minister Wendy Morton said: "Our railway has long been the foundation of traveling throughout the UK and, as one of the greenest forms of transport, it is set to play a central role in reducing emissions as well as aiding us accomplish our world-leading decarbonisation goals. " This very first of its kind agreement is a huge moment not just for Network Rail yet the rail market overall, instating a journey which will see Britain's preferred transport come to be even greener, cleaner as well as much more sustainable." Natural Power supplied technical assistance to Network Rail throughout the vendor identification as well as negotiation process for the business power purchase agreement for 49.9 MW of solar power from EDF Renewables UK.

EDF, CIP Secure 257MW in South African Storage Tender
EDF Renewables and CIP-owned Mulilo Energy have been awarded preferred bidder status for 257MW of grid storage capacity in South Africa, out of five projects awarded in the country's first BESS competition. The consortium will deliver three battery energy storage projects at an estimated total cost of more than ZAR7bn (€343m). When completed, the projects will dispatch electricity under 15-year power purchase agreements. Robert Helms, a partner at CIP, commended the South African government’s commitment to the rapid buildout of battery energy storage. Mulilo’s chairman of the board, Jan Oberholzer, said the achievement was an important and significant milestone for Mulilo, and that the team was outperforming their business plans. The consortium is committed to playing an important role in ensuring sustainable electricity supply for the betterment of the lives of the 61 million people in South Africa. What Role Will EDF Renewables and CIP Play in South Africa's BESS Competition? EDF Renewables and CIP will be responsible for the design, financing, construction, commissioning, and long-term maintenance of the three battery energy storage projects. The consortium will deliver a total of 257MW of grid storage capacity, with each battery energy storage project ranging from 80 to 105MW. The projects will utilize a combination of short-duration lithium-ion batteries and solar energy to deliver electricity under 15-year power purchase agreements. The projects will help improve the security of South Africa’s energy supply, reduce power outages, and increase the country’s ability to exploit renewable energy sources. The consortium is also committed to creating investment and job opportunities in the local economy, providing skills training to local communities, and implementing environmental best practices. The consortium is also working with the South African government to ensure that the projects are built to support the national energy transition and bring South Africa closer to its renewable energy targets.

EDF Starts Poland’s First 50-MW Grid Battery, Larger Projects Ahead
EDF Renewables has begun building a 50-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in the Opole region of south-west Poland, marking the country’s first grid-scale storage project of this size. The lithium-ion plant will be wired directly to the national transmission network and is scheduled to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2025.  The installation will hold enough energy to stabilise the grid for several hours at a time—soaking up inexpensive renewable power during oversupply periods and discharging it when demand or prices spike. By adding fast-response flexibility, the BESS should help Poland integrate ever-larger shares of wind and solar while trimming reliance on ageing coal plants.  Although 50 MW is modest by international standards, it is a watershed for Poland’s storage market, which until now has consisted mainly of pilot-scale batteries and pumped hydro. EDF Renewables Polska says the Opole unit “paves the way” for a national fleet of batteries that can reinforce security of supply as renewables surpass a quarter of generation. Two bigger projects are already on the developer’s drawing board: a 120-MW facility near Kobiernice slated for mid-2027 and a 200-MW system outside Turzyn that could be energised in late 2028. Together, the trio would give EDF almost 400 MW of storage capacity in Poland, adding muscle to its 1-GW pipeline of wind and solar assets.  “Battery storage is our answer to some of the most pressing challenges of the Polish energy transition,” said Alicja Chilińska-Zawadzka, managing director of EDF Renewables Polska, at the groundbreaking ceremony. She noted that the company has been active in the country for 14 years and intends to branch into offshore wind once auctions open.  Analysts view the move as a litmus test for Poland’s nascent storage regime, which is expected to include capacity-market top-ups and enhanced ancillary-services payments. If the Opole plant secures robust revenues, it could unlock private financing for gigawatt-scale batteries—helping Warsaw hit its 2030 goal of slashing coal’s share of the power mix below 40 %.
