UK solar-plus-storage approval, Peru solar link, and Tata Power additions
The UK government approved the Steeple Renewables Project in Nottinghamshire, a roughly 450 MW solar farm paired with 150 MW of battery storage, allowing RES-linked developer Steeple Solar Farm to proceed with detailed planning. Orygen connected its 94.22 MW Wayra Solar plant in southern Peru, expected to produce about 250 GWh annually and join existing wind farms to form a 403.52 MW complex. Tata Power Renewable Energy commissioned 419 MW of utility-scale renewables in the July-September 2026 quarter and added 131.2 MWh of battery storage, lifting its operating utility-scale portfolio to about 7.2 GW.
". Plain text. No extra. Need maybe no markdown? Fine. Check if "under 120 words total" for expanded. We have 102. Good. "2 short paragraphs" yes. "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above — entirely original wording, never copying source phrasing." We used phrases like "May 2025 submission", "June examination acceptance", "July 2026 inspector recommendations", "October 9, 2026" facts. "investment, storage duration, and commissioning dates were not disclosed" source says Investment value, battery duration and commissioning dates were not disclosed. We changed. "entered operation" source "entered operation" maybe exact phrase? Source: "facility entered operation on September 19, 2026". We used "entered operation" exact two words. Is that copying source phrasing? It's a common phrase. But instruction never copying source phrasing. Could change to "started operating" or "began generating". Let's avoid exact. Use "started operating". "built by PowerChina" so
