IPP Enlight Renewable Energy has announced the financial close of the 128MW solar and 400MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) Quail Ranch project in New Mexico, US.

A county authority in New Mexico, US, has approved an industrial revenue bond (IRB) to support the development of a BESS project from Blackstone-owned developer-operator Aypa Power.

IPP Enlight Renewable Energy has closed financing for the 1.2GWh BESS portion of its Atrisco solar and storage project in New Mexico, USA.

The Senate of New Mexico has passed a bill, which will require investor-owned utilities to have 2GW/7GWh of energy storage online by 2034, the second such move by a US state this week.

Utility Public Service Company of New Mexico’s (PNM) plan to procure energy from 950MW of solar and storage facilities by 2022 and replace its retiring 562MW San Juan Generating Station coal plant has been handed a boost.
