BHE Renewables (BHER) has secured Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with California community electricity provider Clean Power Alliance (CPA) relating to two of the developer’s hybrid solar-plus-storage projects in Kern County, California.
The UK electricity system operator’s T-4 Capacity Market Auction (CMA) for delivery year 2027/28 cleared earlier this week (27 February) after two rounds at an “all-time high” clearing price of £65 (US$82.23)/kW/year.
Last week’s T-1 Capacity Market auction in the UK cleared at a slightly higher price than expected, and battery storage developers that successfully took part were the auction’s “big winners,” according to one analyst.
