Battery Energy Storage System (Bess) developer Pulse Clean Energy today (September 2) announced that the latest Bess activum is now operational.The Kolenpit Bess is an active from 30/67 MWh in Atherton, west of Manchester, on the site of a former coal extraction installation. Significant improvements of biodiversity will be made as part of the coal pit project, with just below a hectare of indigenous tree and shrub planting, wild flower planting and an Overbos buffer that yields an estimated 300% biodiversity grid for the former Brownfield site.Financing for the Kolenput Bess came from one £ 220 million green financial deal…

The British government has opened consultations on proposed guidelines for developers of nationally important infrastructure projects (NSIPs).The planning and infrastructure account, published earlier this yearmade various changes to the NSIP process, in an attempt to speed up the delivery and to lower the costs. The consultation discusses measures to further streamline the infrastructure planning process and how best measures from the account can be implemented.The government has also changed How decisions about NSIPs can be challengedReducing the number of times that ‘earnings -free’ cases can be brought against a project from three to one.An important change in the planning process…

The network rules of California get another day before the court.

The American Court of International Trade (CIT) has ruled that an executive order from the President of the United States was illegal from 2022 and that customs and border protection (CBP) should not have followed it. This all comes from a lawsuit brought by a Solar Panel Auxin Solar in which the International Trade Court is asked to revise the legality of a two -year tariff break that President Joe Biden has imported on solar panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The president ordered the break while the trade department investigated whether the Chinese manufacturers of solar panels in…

Azerbaijan and the Chinese solar manufacturer Sichuan SunNC have unveiled plans to build a solar panel factory in the Alat Free Economic Zone, south of Baku. September 2, 2025 Brian Publicover The Azerbaijanan authorities work together with a manufacturer of solar cells and panels from the Chinese province of Sichuan to build an export-oriented PV module factory in a free economic zone near Baku. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev recently met Xie Yi, founder and chairman of Sichuan Sunnc Photovoltaic Technology Co., in Tianjin, China, to discuss the plan, according to a statement from the president’s office. The project, south of…

UK storage developer Rheenergise has completed ‘the most important mechanical works’ in the long-term hydro-energy storage system facility in Devon.The company described the Cornwood Research and Development (R&D) demonstrator, near Plymouth, as a “real-life test laboratory” for its technology, which combined long-term energy storage (LDES) and pumped hydro technology. After the completion of civil technical works in the facility earlier this year, the Cornwood factory now installed important components, including the most important turbine, pump and generators.The company’s hydro system uses ‘liquid R-19’ with high density, which is two and a half times closer than water. This high density means…

Scientists have used a dual-functional strategy for sharing material distribution with ethyl viologists Diiodide to achieve synergy performance improvement in PV-driven batteries. The system was reportedly able to provide a portable glucose monitor with electricity for 24 hours. September 2, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team at City University of Hong Kong has developed an integrated PV-driven battery (PVB) for portable electronics that can reach supposedly stable photo charging/discharge cycility. The scientists said they could overcome challenges in integration, miniaturization and flexibility in the design of the new device through a dual-functional strategy for sharing materials with the help of…

Great -Britain -roster bets on flight wheels to keep the lights on The energy operator of Great Britain gambles on an age-old technology to make its grid future-proof, because the power plants that have traditionally helped are closed and replaced by renewable energy systems. Spinning metal devices known as flywheels have been used for centuries to offer slowness – resistance to sudden changes in motion – to various machines, from a Potter’s wheel to the steam engine. Raster operators are now looking at the technology to add slowness to renewable heavy electricity systems to prevent blackouts such as those of…

Mission Solar will present new residential and commercial PV modules at the Re+ Trade Show in Las Vegas, including a panel of 435 W N-Type designed for projects on the roof. September 1, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA The Paneldraofs Solar, based in Texas, said the new products will reveal at the Re+ Trade Show from 8 to 11 September in Las Vegas, Nevada. The line-up comprises its 435 W N-Type 108HC, a solar module on the roof with 22.8% efficiency, a 30-year-old electricity guarantee and 6.2% domestic content. Mission Solar said the product meets important American sourcing…

The German grid connection requests for battery storage are more than 500 GW, a figure powered by a “first, first served” approval system instead of viable projects, according to Regelleistung-Online. September 2, 2025 Brian Publicover Image: Regelleistung-Online By ESS News When PV -Magazine In February, Germany’s electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) and three of its distribution system operators (DSOs) – more than more than more than more than more than more than 340 GW schedule connection requests from large -scale BessThere was a ‘battery tsunami’. The Regelleistung (Control Power) -Online platform now estimates the total number on 470.5 GW over…
