NextEra has suspended two battery sites on Long Island's East End and agreed to pull the Novec 1230 fire suppressant out of both by about 9 October. New York's environment regulator says the gas, mixed with more than a million gallons of firefighting water in 2023, likely broke down into a 'forever chemical' now found in local drinking-water wells.
Malaysia has cut the grid fee on green power bought through CRESS to 14 sen per kWh for firm supply, from 20 sen. The deal comes with a 10-year minimum contract and a hard 31 December 2028 start-up deadline. On 7 October, solar builder Northern Solar booked a RM34m contract for a 9.5 MW plant and pointed to the cut as a source of more work.
Kenogamisis Energy, owned by four First Nations near Geraldton, Ontario, plans an 8.5 MW solar farm of up to 14,000 panels to supply Equinox Gold's Greenstone mine. Environmental approval typically takes 12 to 16 months and is about halfway done; construction could start in 2027. No price or contract terms are published.
Turbo Energy says 62.5 MWh of battery storage is in normal commercial operation at three industrial sites in Spain - ECO Porcelánico, Compacglass and TAU Porcelánico - next to 34 MWp of operating solar. They are the first three of 10 factories in a $53 million contract for 366 MWh, part of ceramic group Pamesa's net zero program. No savings figure is published.
