The project has entered commercial operation, adding a major hybrid solar and battery site to Hungary's grid. It is another sign of the solar-plus-storage model spreading across Central Europe.

CATL will provide a 313 MW / 1,639 MWh system for CIP's La Alegría Solar project, above earlier capacity approvals. It shows how fast grid-scale storage is being paired with new solar in Latin America.

Indian battery maker Replus Engitech will dedicate 1.5 GWh of production capacity over two years to telecom-tower storage. India's storage market is widening beyond the cells themselves.

A German engineering company says it has completed installation of the world's tallest wind turbine tower. Taller towers reach stronger, steadier winds, which can lift output at lower-wind sites.

Massachusetts is the only US state requiring utilities to offer lower seasonal rates to heat pump owners, and it has increased the winter discount. Cheaper winter running costs strengthen the case for switching. (Published 17 September; the latest from this outlet.)

Manitoba Hydro reported a C$446 million loss for the year to March 2026, mainly because drought cut hydro output and forced costly imports. It is a reminder of hydropower's climate exposure for a utility that gets over 97% of its power from water.

Nothing significant in the last 24 hours.
Storage is now the headline partner for almost every new solar project, with big hybrid and battery deals landing across Europe, India and Mexico in a single day. Nuclear keeps moving on several fronts at once, from Chinese commissioning to a US restart review and Dutch life extension. Wind set a tower-height record while offshore build-out continues in China and plans firm up in Australia. The Manitoba Hydro loss is a useful counterpoint: even mature renewables face climate risk.
