Boralex Inc (TSE:BLX), a Canadian renewable energy producer, has signed a contract with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to sell Tier-1 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from two solar projects in New York totaling 450 MW. These projects—250 MW in Fort Covington and 200 MW in Brasher and Massena—were selected as part of New York’s 2024 Tier 1 Renewable Energy Standard solicitation. Both are currently in the permitting phase, with construction expected to begin in 2026 and commissioning in 2028. Once operational, the projects will generate enough electricity to power approximately 105,000 homes annually. Boralex sees New York as a key growth market and currently has over 3.2 GW of installed capacitRenewable energy storage company Apatura has received planning approval for a 100-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) near Kilwinning in North Ayrshire, Scotland. Located 0.5 km northeast of the town, the project will occupy eight acres and support the UK’s energy resilience by storing excess renewable energy for use during peak demand. It marks Apatura’s tenth approved BESS project in 17 months, bringing its total consented capacity to over 1.6 GW. The development faced no public objections and is expected to create jobs during construction and operation. It will contribute to Scotland’s goal of sourcing 50% of its energy from renewables and achieving net-zero by 2045. Apatura emphasized the project's role in stabilizing the grid and supp
