France-headquartered independent power producer (IPP) Neoen has given system integrator Nidec ASI the green light to start work on a 40MW battery storage unit in Sweden, Neoen’s first in the country.

New energy storage projects co-located with renewables in Spain will be eligible to have 40-65% of their investment costs covered under a government scheme launching in a week’s time.
