This piece breaks down who qualifies (hint: standard BESS gets €250/kWh, grid-forming systems score €300/kWh), how to navigate the application maze (deadline July 15, 2025 —mark it!), and why regions like Andalusia (sitting on €311M) are the place to be.
[pdf] Supply chain IoT data company ORBCOMM has launched a new solar-powered asset tracking system that that can be used to monitor intermodal containers and other transportation assets for operational visibility.
[pdf] Since August 28, 2025, Decree “MASE No. 220/2025” has been in force, providing a special procedure for photovoltaic systems with capacity over 1 MW using “non-Chinese” components. The Fer X Transitorio decree excludes photovoltaic systems with modules, cells, and inverters from China.
[pdf] U.S. researchers have developed a sodium-ion pouch cell that operates reliably at temperatures as low as –100 C. The battery was tested with simulated and real renewable energy sources, including wind and solar, and maintained stable performance in both laboratory and field conditions.
[pdf] The new policy focuses on three pillars: Grid Stabilization: Deploying lithium-ion batteries at 15 key substations to reduce blackouts. Solar+Storage Mandate: Requiring new commercial buildings to install PV panels with 8-hour storage capacity. [pdf]
[pdf] The project uses bifacial solar panels—a first in Central Asia—that capture sunlight from both sides. These panels generate 15-20% more energy than traditional models, crucial in Ashgabat''s dusty environment. Maintenance? Drones with AI-powered cleaning systems handle panel upkeep monthly.
