Lastest Launch of Battery Energy Storage Plant in Hung Yen Vietnam

Renewable energy company Daemyung Energy announced on April 17 that it has signed EPC contracts for the “Goheung Naro BESS” project in Goheung County and the “Gwangyang Hwanggeum BESS” project in Gwangyang. The contract values amount to KRW 33.7 billion and KRW 33.3 billion, respectively, totaling KRW 67 billion. This represents approximately 51% of the company’s 2025 consolidated revenue (KRW 131 billion).

Nigeria’s RPE won a World Bank-backed mini-grid project, while Senegal's Senelec added 20,000 MWh of storage to the Diass plant. Senelec also partnered with Huawei for a 50 MW solar + 90 MWh storage facility in Linguère to enhance grid reliability.

Maine has become the second US state to legalize plug-in solar systems with the signing of LD 1730. The law permits residents to use UL 3700-certified systems up to 420 W via standard outlets, while units up to 1,200 W require a licensed electrician. Although these systems are ineligible for net energy billing, they can reduce household electricity costs by nearly 20%, saving users approximately $388 per year. Maine's decision reflects a rising national interest in accessible solar, as 34 other states are currently pursuing similar legislation.
