R.Power completed battery unit installation at its 150 MW/300 MWh Jedwabno storage project in Poland, with commissioning targeted for December 2026 and Axpo providing optimization services. TagEnergy submitted its proposed 1 GW/4 GWh Morwell battery in Victoria, Australia, for federal environmental assessment, with commissioning targeted for 2029. Return brought its 100 MW/200 MWh Antares battery into commercial operation in Waddinxveen, Netherlands, ahead of schedule and connected to TenneT's 150 kV network.

Expanded Detail

EXPANDED:

At its Jedwabno site in northeastern Poland, R.Power has finished installing every battery unit for a 150 MW/300 MWh system. The facility includes 64 containerized batteries and 32 medium-voltage transformer stations. Nomad Electric and ESIX are handling electrical integration and grid connection, with commissioning planned for December 2026. A 17-year capacity market contract supports the project, and Axpo will optimize operations through 2037. Financing of about PLN 270 million was arranged with Siemens Financial Services and Erste Group Bank.

TagEnergy's Morwell proposal in Victoria, Australia, seeks federal environmental review for a 1,000 MW/4,000 MWh standalone battery on roughly 60.4 hectares near the old Morwell thermal station. It would use 876 battery containers, 292 inverter blocks and two substations, connecting to the 500 kV Hazelwood terminal in two equal phases. Meanwhile, Return's 100 MW/200 MWh Antares facility in Waddinxveen, Netherlands, has entered commercial operation ahead of schedule, linked to TenneT's 150 kV network.
