TotalEnergies to invest in European Energy’s Nordic offshore wind. This partnership between TotalEnergies and European Energy contribute to accelerating the region's energy transition. With these new agreements, TotalEnergies brings its experience to develop offshore wind projects in three Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. For its part, European Energy brings its excellent knowledge of the Scandinavian energy markets and its experience of successful collaboration with stakeholders in these countries. The offshore wind project is in line with our strategy of integrated development in electricity but also, underscores our commitment to sustainable development and energy independence in Europe 😉 #totalenergies #wind #offshorewind #renewables #energy #renewableenergy #energytransition

More action in Australia's PPA market - leading data centre & digital infrastructure firm Equinix secures an offtake agreement for 20% of TagEnergy's $3B (1330MW) Golden Plains Wind Farm (GPWF). With a limited amount of renewable energy projects moving to construction in Australia in the past 2 years this is a significant deal for Equinix and marks the first PPA for Equinix in Asia Pacific. For TagEnergy, this is the 2nd PPA for GPWF, which following its second stage of construction will provide ~4000GWh of renewable energy annually. “This is the second PPA for stage one of our mega-project after Snowy Hydro purchased 40 per cent of the energy and green certificates for stage one, taking total contracted volume to 60 per cent."

We are thrilled to announce that German energy utility RWE has made a final investment decision on the innovative 50 MW/400 MWh Limondale battery energy storage system, set to complement the existing 249 MW Limondale Solar Farm near Balranald, New South Wales (NSW). In an exciting collaboration, Tesla will provide its cutting-edge Megapack batteries for this transformative project, while Australia's Beon Energy Solutions will handle the essential civil, structural, electrical, and control works to seamlessly connect the battery to the existing 33 kV substation. Construction of the Limondale battery energy storage system is slated to begin in the second half of this year, with the ambitious commissioning of the 400 MWh system planned for late 2025. This final investment decision follows the project’s success in winning a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement in NSW’s first competitive tender under its electricity infrastructure roadmap last year. This development marks a significant leap forward in Australia's renewable energy landscape, showcasing the power of innovation and strategic partnerships in driving the transition to sustainable energy. At The Green Recruitment Company, we are inspired by such groundbreaking projects that pave the way for a greener future.

Equinor has reached full operations for the 25 MW/ 50 MWh Blandford Road battery energy storage system in the UK. “This is a significant milestone for our ambition to deliver flexible power and maintain security of supply in the UK,” said Alex Grant, UK Country Manager at Equinor. “A strong battery storage portfolio will further strengthen our position as a leading broad energy partner to the UK, building on our 40-year presence which includes being a stable supplier of oil and gas, developing the UK’s offshore wind industry, and pioneering solutions to decarbonise the UK economy.” The Blandford battery project is fully owned by Equinor, and was developed and operated UK energy storage company Noriker Power, in which Equinor owns a 45% equity stake. Blandford Road is located in Dorset and is connected to the Southern Electric Power Distribution (SEPD) network. The project features around 150 lithium-ion battery units and is capable of storing enough electricity to power 75,000 UK homes for two hours. “Equinor envisages a renewables portfolio that combines generation assets such as wind and solar with flexible assets such as batteries to help mitigate the intermittency of the renewable power generation,” outlined Olav Kolbeinstveit, Senior Vice President for onshore and markets within Renewables at Equinor. “In the UK, we have our largest offshore wind power position as a company with several offshore wind farms in operation and under development. “In parallel, we are building our battery storage capacity, with our first asset Blandford Road in operation and our second asset Welkin Mill under construction.” In addition to Blandford Road, the Welkin Mill battery storage project is developed by Noriker Power in the Greater Manchester area in England. The new energy storage project will have a capacity of 35 MW/70 MWh and can store enough electricity to power over 100,000 UK homes for two hours, where it will connect to the distribution network operated by Electricity North West (ENWL). Welkin Mill is expected to be operational in 2024. Equinor’s energy trading house Danske Commodities will provide market access, balancing and optimisation services for the Blandford Road asset, building upon their 15 years of experience from the UK power markets. “We have developed a distinct business model that integrates Equinor’s industrial perspective and financial capacity, Noriker’s local capabilities and know-how, and Danske Commodities’ power trading expertise,” added Kolbeinstveit. “This business model allows us to quickly scale our battery storage portfolio in the UK and enhance value creation from power markets.” #cleanenergy

bp plans to streamline its operations, with reports indicating a halt on new investments in offshore wind projects. BP said that it remains committed to transitioning from an integrated oil company (IOC) to an integrated energy company (IEC), aiming to become a “simpler, more focused, and higher value company.” This follows a Reuters report that BP is pausing new offshore wind projects. According to unnamed sources, CEO Murray Auchincloss is shifting focus back to oil and gas due to “investor discontent.” This strategy, impacting new offshore wind projects, involves slowing investments in expensive, low-carbon projects that won't generate cash for several years, as per Reuters.

Winners of World’s First Commercial Floating Offshore Wind Tender Announced In a landmark milestone for the global energy transition, the consortium between Elicio wind energy producer, and BayWa r.e. EMEA , renewable energy developer and solutions provider, has been announced as the winner of the AO5 tender in France to develop the world’s first commercial floating offshore wind farm. The wind farm is expected to generate approximately 30% of Brittany’s current renewable energy production and power over 450,000 inhabitants annually. The Pennavel floating offshore wind project will be the first commercial floating wind farm in the world to be awarded a long-term Contract for Difference (CfD). The project benefits from a secured grid connection with RTE, the French transmission system operator, who is responsible for the transmission assets including offshore substation and export cables. It is the second recent success in floating wind in Europe by Elicio and BayWa r.e. following the 960 MW Buchan Offshore Wind farm off the north-east coast of Scotland, together with a third partner. #energy #floatingoffshore #smes #maritimeconnection #socsea24 https://lnkd.in/dhXfGEAX
