hybrid generators

Ampyr Solar Europe has inaugurated a 96 MW solar park in Noordoostpolder, marking the latest addition to the hybrid energy cluster.

The new energy management system enables unified control and real‑time insights to support operational decisions across hybrid renewable and storage plants.

The Swedish County Administration Board has approved Soltech’s hybrid ventures, clearing the way for utility‑scale solar parks with integrated battery storage.

The co-location project Gecama combines wind power, photovoltaics and large-scale battery storage, with a total capacity of 554 MW and 220 MWh.

The new solar generator in Oryahovo combines over 100,000 PV modules with 107 MWh of energy storage, supporting energy trading and strengthening Bulgaria’s power grid.

Hydrogen specialist Quest One has appointed Michael Meister as chief executive officer and spokesperson of the management board, following a decision by its shareholder Everllence.

The potential of combining solar, wind and storage at one site is clear. Regulation remains the main barrier, but some European countries are now showing how it’s done.

Pairing solar parks with large-scale storage is reshaping how PV assets can earn and respond. The approach heralds new business models, greater grid flexibility and stronger returns. This week’s focus: 7–10 July.

European Energy is set to begin developing a second hybrid facility after the successful completion of Sweden’s first large-scale hybrid wind-solar park in Skåramåla.

SMA Altenso, a subsidiary of SMA Solar Technology, is driving forward the flexible use of renewable energies worldwide. A project in Namibia Altenso has now passed the milestone of 1 gigawatt in total power delivered for hydrogen applications.

The Swiss investment firm has received approval for its green hydrogen project in Castellón, Spain. The 100 MW electrolyser will cut over 108,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year, supporting the decarbonisation of the region’s ceramics industry.

Our special issue on hybrid power plants and technology is now available. Ahead of Intersolar, find out why storage units and solar are increasingly being planned together.

Shortlisted for UK government funding, the Selms Muir Hydrogen hub in Scotland will combine green hydrogen production with solar power to support net zero goals in the United Kingdom.

In the Netherlands, new feed-in fees introduced in August 2024 are significantly affecting solar system owners. One homeowner in southern Holland has demonstrated how to reduce the impact using solar-powered heating.

Hydrogen technology plays an important role in integrating solar and wind power into the energy system. The upcoming ees Europe 2025 is therefore taking a closer look at this and entering into a new strategic partnership.

Renewable hydrogen developer and independent producer DH2 Energy is developing four large-scale green hydrogen facilities in Spain's Extremadura region. The DH2 Energy initiatives under way in Extremadura represent a total investment of €2.25 billion.

The 49.9 MW project in Sandon Brook/UK, owned and overseen by Low Carbon, is the first from Trinasolar to combine modules, mounting and energy storage.

One of the first hybrid solar parks in Sweden has been successfully commissioned in Halmstad. By co-locating PV technology with modern battery energy storage, this project is an example of the interplay between renewable energies, grid stability and high energy efficiency – the path to a sustainable and resilient energy future.

A demonstration plant for Quest One’s Modular Hydrogen Platform electrolyser is under construction at the MAN Energy Solutions site in Augsburg. Test operation and field data will support optimisation of operations as well as the assembly and service concept.

The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung - ZSW) in Stuttgart/Germany has started work on the further expansion of its electrolysis test site in line with the “ElyLab” testing and innovation centre.

The zinc-hydrogen storage system should be able to be produced at a tenth of the cost of lithium batteries and feed hydrogen into the energy cycle on demand, say Fraunhofer IZM researchers. Initial laboratory tests have been very successful.

MAN Energy Solutions and H-TEC Systems in cooperation with Helen Oy will execute Helsinki Hydrogen Plan. The 3H2 pilot project combines four different sectors, electricity, heating, transportation and hydrogen as well as flexibility between them.

European Energy has started constructing Sweden’s first large-scale hybrid park in Skåramåla in the municipality of Tingsryd, where the existing wind farm is supplemented by a solar park.

With the combination of solar park and storage unit, the utility Skelec can supply around a third of the Caribbean island's electricity. THAT saves a lot of diesel, which was previously used for the power supply.

With the 450-megawatt hybrid project, the company based in Dresden, Germany is planning a utility-scale plant for continuous green electricity generation.
