Unveiling Chile's largest solar farm, EDF's CEME1 project is a shining example of sustainable energy innovation in the Atacama Desert.

EDF Renewables North America has actually revealed that it has actually completed the signing of a 22-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with NV Energy for a 200 megawatt (MWac) solar PV project paired with a 180 MW, four-hour battery storage space system. The Chuckwalla Solar + Storage project anticipates to come online by the end of 2023 and also deliver sufficient tidy power yearly to power 45,000 ordinary Nevada residences. The project is located on the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians Reservation, 35 miles northeast of Las Vegas in Clark County, Nevada. The project will certainly benefit the Moapa Tribe as well as local neighborhood over its operating life through land lease, tax and also other settlements and also roughly 300 temporary construction-related tasks. By combining the solar facility with an energy storage space service, power produced during peak solar hours can be dispatched later in the day, thus creating an equilibrium between electrical energy generation and demand. Power storage can additionally smooth electrical power rates, handle evening power ramps, minimize curtailment and also give grid security. " EDF Renewables is pleased to reinforce our connection with NV Energy, building on our 2019 arrangement to develop and also develop the Arrow Canyon Solar+ Storage project," said Ian Black, Vice President, West Region Development at EDF Renewables North America. "The battery and solar system collaborate to give more energy during the summer season night optimal hrs, when system requirements are the best. NV Energy can make use of the battery at their discernment in all months of the year enabling mitigation of need spikes." Just recently, we had reported that the prospective buyer consortium, developed by French EDF Group subsidiary, EDF Renewables and Chinese Jinko Power had been awarded the Al Dhafra solar project in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With a capability of 2 GW, it will be the globe's largest single-project solar plant and will produce the comparable electrical power to power over 160,000 neighborhood families yearly. A require tenders was launched in June 2019 by Emirates Water as well as Electricity Company (EWEC), a leading business in the coordination of planning, purchasing and supplying of water and also electrical energy throughout the UAE. EDF Renewables-- Jinko Power submitted a record-breaking quote of 1.35 USD cent per kilowatt-hour on a Levelised Electricity Cost basis.

EDF Renewables UK has opened a community consultation on the 250-megawatt Swansea North battery storage project, inviting residents to help shape one of Wales’s largest standalone energy-storage facilities before it heads to planning. Located on brownfield land north of Swansea, the lithium-ion installation would be capable of injecting power into the grid for multiple hours at a time—enough to smooth peaks in demand for hundreds of thousands of homes. Environmental surveys, traffic studies and noise assessments are already under way, but EDF says local insight is just as critical as technical due diligence. “Electricity now drives everything from home heating to data centres,” explained Amy Ravitz-Williams, project development manager at EDF Renewables UK. “Large-scale batteries future-proof the network by soaking up surplus wind and solar power and releasing it instantly when demand surges. That flexibility is essential for energy security and for keeping costs down.” If approved by Swansea Council, the project will connect to the nearby National Grid substation, providing rapid-response services such as frequency regulation and reserve capacity. These services help counter the inherent variability of renewables—wind turbines calm, solar panels dim—and keep voltage steady so consumers experience a seamless supply. Local economic benefits are also on the table. Construction would support dozens of temporary jobs, while ongoing operations would create skilled positions in monitoring, maintenance and system optimisation. EDF has pledged to develop a community-benefit fund and to source materials and services locally where feasible, mirroring commitments it has made on battery schemes elsewhere in the UK. Wales has set a target of producing at least 70 percent of its electricity from renewables by 2030. Industry analysts warn that hitting that goal without matching storage could strain transmission lines and force curtailment of clean generation. Projects like Swansea North therefore sit at the centre of the region’s low-carbon roadmap, acting as a buffer between variable generation and everyday consumption. The consultation runs until early summer. Once feedback is incorporated, EDF expects to submit its detailed planning application later this year, positioning the battery to come online before the end of the decade—just as new offshore wind arrays off the Welsh coast reach full power.

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 %.
