On June 30, Siemens Energy announced that it had recently secured, together with Neptun Smulders Offshore Renewables (NSORe), a contract from German transmission system operator 50Hertz to provide the grid connection system for the North Sea Connector 2 offshore wind grid connection project in the European North Sea. Once operational, the project will be able to transmit up to 2GW of offshore wind power to the onshore grid. The North Sea Connector 2 converter platform will be built by NSORe, a joint venture between Neptun Werft, part of Germany’s Meyer Werft Group, and Belgian construction company Smulders. Siemens Energy will provide the transmission technology and related equipment for the offshore converter platform, with around 95% of the equipment to be manufactured at Siemens Energy’s plants in Germany.

[SMM Analysis] Korea’s NEV Market Recovery Remains Mixed as ESS Emerges as a Key Growth Channel for Battery Makers

Korea’s NEV market is recovering from late-2025 weakness, but the rebound remains HEV-led rather than BEV-driven. BEV share has improved, yet the recovery still lacks consistency. For Korean battery makers, domestic EV sales and export data alone are no longer sufficient indicators of demand recovery. ESS, supported by domestic policy demand and North American utility-scale projects, is emerging as a clearer growth channel.

[Energy Storage: Hybrid Energy Storage Project In Shanxi Enters Grid-Connection Commissioning Phase]

Recently, the Shanxi Xiangyuan 42.5MW lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor hybrid energy storage project has entered the grid-connection commissioning phase. The project is jointly constructed by Shanxi Zhongsheng Smart Power Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Zhixian New Energy Co., Ltd., with a total investment of 206 million yuan. Among them, the lithium-ion battery installation scale is 32.5MW/130MWh, a standard "four-hour" configuration, while the supercapacitor installation scale is 10MW/0.083MWh, enabling "rapid power braking or acceleration" within tens of seconds. The lithium battery handles large-capacity energy storage, while the supercapacitor achieves millisecond-level fast frequency regulation. The system can serve both peak-valley arbitrage and grid auxiliary frequency regulation, stabilizing the output of new energy power generation.
