Energy storage
- Five storage projects worth 1,199 MW (capacity) / 4,062 MWh (energy output) reached financial close, marking the third highest quarterly result seen for new storage projects while 3 storage projects were commissioned in the quarter, for a total of 541 MW / 1,766 MWh, representing new records. The rolling average energy output for commissioned storage projects continued to reach new heights at 975 MWh for the quarter, also a new record.
