The 12th edition of the Foro Solar has been much more than just a sector gathering, it reflected a decisive moment for solar PV in Spain. Our Managing Director FRV Iberia, Fernando Salinas Loring, took an active part in the event and highlighted three key ideas: 🔋 Solar PV is no longer just about clean energy. It’s about industrial competitiveness, energy security, and strategic value for Europe. ⚡ Storage is essential to sustain sector growth, integrate more renewables, and ensure grid stability. 🤝 Collaboration, clear regulation, and long-term vision are crucial to turning today’s challenges into opportunities for transformation. We share that vision and work every day to drive projects that not only generate energy but build the future. 📍Thanks to UNEF Unión Española Fotovoltaica for consolidating this forum as the key platform for debate and for shaping the future of energy in our country. #ForoSolar2025 #ForoSolarUNED #FRV #RenewableEnergy #EnergyStorage #EnergyTransition 

📍 First steps, big impact. We’ve officially broken ground on the Gnarwarre BESS Project, our largest battery energy storage system to date in Australia. The sod-turning ceremony brought together key partners and stakeholders to celebrate a shared commitment to innovation, resilience and a smarter energy future. 🔋 Located in Victoria, Gnarwarre will deliver 250 MW / 500 MWh of large-scale storage — a milestone in FRV Australia’s portfolio and a key pillar of the country’s clean energy transition. 🤝 We thank all participants and collaborators for joining this important moment: John Maiolo (OMERS) | Glen Thomson (Australian Energy Operations) | Changwook Alex Lee (Samsung C&T) The Hon. Lily D’Ambrosio (Minister for Energy and Resources, Victoria) | Carlo Frigerio (FRV Australia) Aaron McArrich (AusNet) | Kieren Lewis (Beon) | Damien McMahon (Cotton On) ⚡ This Project received funding from Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of ARENA's Advancing Renewables Program. 📸 A powerful project begins with powerful partnerships. #FRVAustralia #CleanEnergy #BESS #EnergyTransition #FRVProjects

🔵 FRV Australia continues its growth in New Zealand with the development of Rangitīkei Solar Project. 📍 Today, we announce the development of the Rangitīkei solar farm, a 210 MWdc large-scale project located in the North Island of New Zealand. Once operational, it will generate around 350,000 MWh of clean energy annually, enough to power more than 45,000 homes and prevent the emission of approximately 35,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year. Rangitīkei will also bring strong local impact: 🔸 Peak of 250 jobs during construction 🔸 75 average workers over a 24-month build 🔸 Designed to allow future battery storage integration Full press release: https://lnkd.in/dPQWXP_3 #FRVProjects #Rangitikei #FRVAustralia #SolarEnergy #EnergyTransition

🔵 How do we move from project-by-project firefighting to a predictable, resilient model for solar delivery? This is one of the key questions our CTO at FRV Australia, Amit Kaushik , will address at All Energy Australia 2025. He will be part of a high-level panel hosted by GameChange Solar, alongside other leading voices from construction, insurance, and finance. Together, they’ll explore: ✅ How to manage tough site conditions and climate disruptions ✅ Grid bottlenecks and the role of smarter infrastructure ✅ The impact of rising insurance costs on solar project delivery ✅ The need for collaboration and resilience across the value chain 📍 Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre 📆 29 October 2025 | 11:10 AM – 12:40 PM 📌 Room 210 🔋 The future of solar in Australia depends on innovation, flexibility, and industry-wide cooperation, we’re proud to be part of this essential conversation.

📍 The Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH (https://loom.ly/6vhVXlQ) in Munich is normally home to world class football. On October 30th, it will host a different kind of game: shaping the future of energy storage in Europe. FRV will join developers, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders to explore how Battery Energy Storage Systems (#BESS) and renewable integration can accelerate the energy transition. 🗣️ Amós Guillén Duarte, Country Manager FRV Germany, will be featured on a panel discussing the dynamics and outlook of Germany’s rapidly evolving battery storage market - from regulatory developments and grid integration to investment opportunities and lessons from other leading European markets. We look forward to conversations about: • Financing and bankability of BESS projects • Grid access and integration opportunities • Evolving regulation shaping Europe’s storage markets • New offtake models and flexibility revenues Feeling curious? In an interview with Inspiratia, we are addressing our operations in the German market and next steps!

🌍 Today marks the World Day Against Climate Change. Every plant, every decision and every innovation matters. For us, the energy transition is not just a path it’s the only way forward. 📊 In 2024, our clean energy projects made a tangible difference: • 1.2 million tons of CO₂ emissions avoided • 789,000 households powered with renewable electricity • 31% reduction in carbon intensity • 71% of all waste recycled or reused These figures are not just data, they are our shared impact on the planet. 🔋 Clean energy is climate action. Every step brings us closer to a more sustainable future. #ClimateAction #FRV #Sustainability #ClimateChange #WorldClimateDay

This year's BVES Energy Storage Systems Association Investor Summit Europe in Berlin brought together the leaders shaping the future of energy storage. From project developers to top-tier investors. The discussions made one thing clear: storage is entering a decisive growth phase in Europe. Here are FRV Germany’s insights from the event: 🔋 BESS is moving from pilot to scale: Battery energy storage has matured into a core pillar of Europe’s energy system. The focus is now on scalability, quality, and long-term performance. 📜 Smart regulation will define the next growth phase: Despite strong momentum, complex approval procedures and evolving market rules continue to challenge implementation. ⚡ Grid integration is the next bottleneck: Innovative connection models and flexibility services will be critical to unlock project potential and ensure storage assets deliver full system value. 💰 Investor appetite for storage is strong: Capital is flowing into BESS and hybrid projects as confidence grows in market design and policy stability. The takeaway from Berlin? The European storage market is no longer about "if", it’s about "how fast" we can scale battery storage to meet the needs of a renewable-powered grid. 📸 © Phil Dera #FRVGermany #FRV #BESS #BVESInvestorSummitEurope
