Managed by the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry (MECI), this scheme facilitates the deployment of hybrid energy systems (combining renewable generation with storage) to mitigate energy curtailment and enhance grid stability. The programme is divided into two phases:

Phase A (Investment Aid): Backed by €40 million from the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF), this phase provides grants for the installation of storage units at both existing and new RES plants. The investment aid is capped at €125,000 per MW of storage capacity.

Phase B (Operating Aid): Funded by the national RES Fund, this phase supports new hybrid projects through two-way Contracts of Difference (CfDs).

Key Requirements & Technical Details:

Eligible Technologies: Targets mature technologies including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and pumped hydro storage.

Storage Duration: Systems must have a guaranteed discharge duration of at least 2 hours (for systems up to 120 kW) or 3 to 4 hours for larger plants.

75% Rule: To ensure clean charging, the storage component must absorb at least 75% of its energy from the directly connected renewable energy installation on an annual basis.

Contract Length: New projects under the scheme are eligible for 10-year contracts.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
