HoyUltra 2000M is Hoymiles’ newly launched full-scenario commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage solution, developed around a simple idea: do more in the factory so less efforts will be spent on project site.

Review Energy went inside Maxxen’s Aydin factory during Maxxen Day 2026, seeing its battery production lines in operation first-hand and exploring what manufacturing capacity like this could mean for Europe as it seeks greater energy independence and more resilient storage supply chains.

ENTSO-E’s reports on transmission tariffs in 2024 and 2025 use a standardised Unit Transmission Tariff (UTT) to compare how more than 36 European countries recover grid costs. The benchmark is based on a common grid-user profile, allowing national approaches to be examined on a more consistent basis, although it does not represent a direct comparison of the actual tariffs paid by individual users.

The BSW-Solar-commissioned survey reveals that only 13% of respondents believe incentives should be reduced. The association is urging the Bundestag to maintain a stable support framework and avoid new requirements that could hinder the development of photovoltaic projects.

At Maxxen Day 2026, Maxxen Energy opened its factory in Türkiye to the European energy storage industry and showed the most advanced BESS factory in Europe. The event brought together more than 300 guests from 18 European countries and nearly 120 companies across the BESS value chain. Discussions covered the technology landscape, market outlook and revenues, financing, risk management, as well as project development and scaling.

The Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have identified offshore wind as a potential tool to strengthen energy security in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The report highlights major technical potential across countries such as Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu, but stresses that deployment will depend on access to finance, grid capacity, infrastructure and suitable project economics.

A new report from the Smart Energy Expert Group’s cybersecurity working group warns that the growing digitalisation of photovoltaic installations could create risks for the stability of Europe’s electricity system and recommends tighter security requirements for inverters, manufacturer platforms, firmware updates and supply chains.

Europe is approaching a new phase for its wind fleet as more turbines reach the end of their scheduled 20-year operating life. Christoph Zipf, Head of Press & Communications at WindEurope, spoke to Review Energy about how the industry can manage ageing turbines through lifetime extension, repowering and decommissioning, while building a stronger recycling value chain.

Energyear presenta su Tour 2027, con 16 encuentros en Europa, Latinoamérica y Asia-Pacífico, mientras la industria eólica marina alemana advierte de los riesgos para la inversión ante la incertidumbre sobre las subastas. En Brasil, la ANEEL abre una consulta pública sobre el reparto de los costes asociados al almacenamiento con baterías. Todo esto y más, en el resumen de la semana.

Following the first reading of Germany’s proposed Offshore Wind Energy Act reform, the BWO is urging lawmakers to adopt a CfD-only auction model, introduce indexation and establish a mechanism to return and retender at-risk projects awarded between 2023 and 2025.

El documento del MME y la EPE proyecta 7,2 GW de almacenamiento en baterías, 2 GW de bombeo hidráulico, 31.900 km adicionales de transmisión y cerca de R$ 3,3 billones en inversiones, y estará en consulta pública hasta el 6 de noviembre de 2026.

Las baterías de cuatro horas ya son más competitivas en costes que las turbinas de gas de ciclo abierto para cubrir los picos de demanda en los 43 mercados analizados, según Wood Mackenzie. El informe también sitúa a la solar fotovoltaica con seguidores de un solo eje como la tecnología de nueva construcción más barata en 43 de los 48 mercados estudiados.

El PPA, con una duración de 15 años, estará respaldado por una cartera de proyectos fotovoltaicos de Cox que suman 58 MWp y comenzará a incorporar energía a la actividad comercial de EPM a partir de 2027.

GlobalData prevé que la capacidad eléctrica instalada de Brasil crezca un 4,7% anual entre 2025 y 2035, mientras que la cuota renovable se acercará al 62%. La solar fotovoltaica liderará las nuevas incorporaciones a corto plazo, con cerca de 93.000 millones de dólares de inversión prevista en el sector energético entre 2026 y 2030.

Guatemala busca contratar 600 MW mediante la PEG-6, incluidos 450 MW de nueva generación y 150 MW de plantas en operación, con contratos de hasta 15 años para el suministro de los usuarios de distribución final a partir del 1 de mayo de 2032.

Europe’s energy regulator urges ENTSO-E and ENTSOG to provide greater transparency over how infrastructure planning scenarios meet EU climate and energy targets, warning that the current adjustments do not adequately represent the transformation needed to achieve them.

La ANEEL ha sometido a consulta la metodología de reparto del Encargo de Reserva de Capacidad asociado a los sistemas de almacenamiento en baterías (Ercap-SAE). La ABSAE valora positivamente el proceso, pero reclama cambios en la legislación para definir con mayor claridad los criterios de reparto y evitar un impacto en el calendario de la primera subasta de baterías.

The company is advancing a 135 MWh green battery energy storage project in Germany, connected to a photovoltaic plant and designed to support a hybrid power purchase agreement (PPA).

La CNE incluyó en su Propuesta Preliminar de Obras Necesarias y Urgentes 2026 un BESS de 200 MW y 400 MWh en la Subestación Tineo 220 kV y la ampliación de la línea Lastarria-Loncoche, con una inversión referencial conjunta de US$ 77,1 millones.

SolarPower Europe’s EU Solar Jobs Report 2026 estimates that solar and battery storage supported 982,000 full-time equivalent jobs across the EU in 2025. Solar employment reached 874,000 jobs, while battery storage supported a further 108,000, with the report assessing storage employment alongside solar for the first time.

Rystad Energy estimates that data centers could account for around 15% of Finland’s electricity consumption by 2030, becoming one of the main drivers of new power demand and long-term electricity contracting.

The CRE published the specifications for the new PPE2 onshore wind tender round, which introduces an eligibility criterion linked to resilience under the Net-Zero Industry Act, clarifies the conditions for repowering projects and warns of a potential upward impact on bid prices.
