Green light for battery energy storage system
Plans to build a battery energy storage system (BESS) next to a former power station have been approved. One Plant Developments wants to install the facility on greenbelt land off Stranglands Lane, near to the former Ferrybridge C power station. BESS facilities take in power from renewable energy sources and then release it back to the National Grid when demand is high. Wakefield Council gave its backing to the plan, which received no comments of support but only one objection. One Plant Developments said it had chosen the location due to its proximity to the Ferrybridge C substation, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. The firm said: "There are no residential properties in the immediate vicinity of the application site, and the proposed development is not likely to affect any significant number of people. "Given that the proposed BESS will be an unmanned facility, with access required only for occasional maintenance inspections, and there being no public access to the site, there are no particular access issues that require to be addressed." The former Ferrybridge power plant, close to the River Aire, was shut in March 2016 after more than 50 years of energy production. It was once one of the biggest power generators in Europe, with its coal-fired boilers producing enough electricity to power 2m homes.

Enfinity Global sells minority stakes in two BESS projects
Enfinity Global has divested 49% of its interest in two significant battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, with a combined capacity of 380MW, to Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure. The projects, located in the US and Italy, will enhance grid resilience and meet increasing power demands. The US-based project is situated in the Houston zone of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas area and has a 250MW BESS with a two-hour duration and 500 megawatt hours (MWh) capacity. Located in the Veneto region, the Italian project comprises a 130MW BESS with a four-hour duration and 520MWh capacity. Operations for both projects will commence by 2027. Enfinity Global maintains a controlling stake of 51% and is tasked with overseeing the development, construction and long-term asset management of both projects. Enfinity Global CEO Carlos Domenech stated: 'We are honoured to partner with Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure, one of Japan's leading financial institutions, to bring new investments to the USA and Italy. 'This is a win-win outcome and creates a demonstrable case study, strengthening the grid capabilities, accelerating powering of reliable competitive clean energy for customers, cross-border capital investments at attractive returns, and bringing the best global solutions by long-term responsible sponsors.' The partnership with Daiwa will bolster infrastructure to support data centres, AI and industrial electrification in both regions. Legal aspects of the transaction were managed by Winston & Strawn and DLA Piper for Enfinity Global, while Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure sought counsel from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, Ensight Energy Consulting and Ernst & Young. Enfinity's global head of capital and general manager for the Americas Ricardo Diaz stated: 'We are pleased to be able to bring in Daiwa Energy & Infrastructure as a capital partner to our BESS projects in the US and Italy. Bringing long-term, like-minded investors as shareholders in our global portfolios is central to our capital formation strategy to accelerate growth and optimise returns.' In a related development, Enfinity Global secured a €100m ($112.2m) bond facility from Eiffel Investment Group to propel the deployment of energy storage and solar photovoltaic projects across Europe.
