ZE Energy buys 100 MW Italian, MACSE-backed battery
A law firm which advised on the transaction tells pv magazine Italia the deal was worth €10 million ($11.6 million) to €20 million and was concluded regardless of the results of the Mercato a termine degli stoccaggi (MACSE) auction.
French renewables developer ZE Energy has bought the Solar Challenge 4 Srl project company behind a 100 MW, Renew-Co Engineering battery energy storage system in Sessa Aurunca, Campania.
The Italian project was the subject of a successful bid in the first MACSE auction.
“The acquisition was closed regardless of the positive outcome of the MACSE auction,” legal firm DWF told pv magazine Italia.
The Milanese legal firm, which advised ZE on the deal, said the acquisition was begun in May. DWF said the deal was worth €10 million to €20 million.
Renew-Co Engineering was advised by Green Horse.

The role of battery energy storage systems in sustainable data centers
While many data centres have started using solar power as part of their energy sources, they still depend on grid energy because of regulatory issues like discom regulations and banking policies. To enhance the use of green energy and lessen reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity, combining battery energy storage systems (BESS) with hybrid solar and wind power systems is a practical solution.

Falling li-ion battery prices mirror solar photovoltaics trends: Is there a role for second-life batteries before recycling?
Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind and solar power plants. EVs are driving large-scale demand for Li-ion batteries which will result in substantial volumes of spent batteries in the near future. This scenario highlights the potential for repurposing EV batteries for second-life stationary applications, which could maximise their value before recycling. However, to fully realise this opportunity, several economic, technical, and regulatory challenges must be addressed and resolved.
