Netherlands ‘largest’ co-located BESS Commissioned By Powerfield

Dutch independent power producer (IPP) PowerField has commissioned a 52MWh BESS at a PV plant. Co-located with a 28MWp solar PV plant, the battery is supposed to be the largest in Netherlands.

The solar and storage project in Wannepervee combines 28MWp of solar with a 52MWh BESS. The project comes even as the Dutch government made a provision for grants for co-located projects starting in January 2025

After Rooftop Solar Glut, Vietnam allows PPAs between IPP and Consumers

In a possible move to allow solar producers find more avenues for their excess power generation, the Vietnamese government has announced that direct power purchase agreements (PPAs) between independent power producers and large electricity consumers will be allowed. Vietnam saw a massive solar boom till about a year back, that led to grid issues for the country.

The power sales have been allowed via two routes. First, sales through the national grid, which involves the purchase and sale of electricity via a term contract between an independent power producer (IPP) and a large electricity user or an authorised electricity retailer within a zonal or cluster model.
