35%Renewables news: Madison Energy, Tesla, AGL Energy. September 21, 2026 The latest renewable energy news includes announcements from Madison Energy, Tesla-powered battery project in Belgium, AGL Energy, Liddell battery energy storage, and others. Madison Energy Targets 1 GW of US Distributed Energy with Up to $2 Billion Investment Discover more renewable energy Explore Wind Energy Madison Energy Infrastructure plans to develop an additional 1 GW of distributed energy capacity across the United States by 2028, backed by up to $2 billion of capital. The EQT-backed company is targeting rising electricity requirements from data centres and other large commercial users. Its development programme will include distributed solar, battery storage and associated energy infrastructure. The 1 GW expansion target covers new capacity beyond Madison Energy Infrastructure's existing portfolio. Deployment is scheduled through 2028, giving the company roughly two years to execute the programme. The capital commitment provides a defined investment figure for building projects that can supply electricity close to customer loads rather than relying solely on utility-scale generation. Belgium Starts Construction of 2.8 GWh Tesla-Powered Battery Project Construction has started on a 2.8 GWh battery energy storage project in Belgium using Tesla storage technology. The construction milestone moves one of Europe's largest announced battery projects into physical execution. At 2.8 GWh, the facility will be capable of storing large quantities of electricity for use during periods when renewable output is lower or system demand increases. The project will use Tesla battery equipment and provide flexibility to Belgium's electricity network as additional wind and solar generation is connected. Grid-scale storage can participate in wholesale electricity markets and balancing services while absorbing surplus generation. The project's scale places it substantially above most existing European battery installations, which typically have storage capacities measured in hundreds rather than thousands of megawatt-hours.

The battery has been developed at the site of AGL's former Liddell coal-fired power station, converting existing electricity infrastructure into a grid-scale storage location. Commissioning means the project has moved from construction into operational status and can now support the National Electricity Market. The 500 MW output capacity enables the battery to respond rapidly to electricity-market conditions and grid requirements. Liddell is part of AGL's programme to replace ageing thermal generation with renewable electricity, battery storage and other flexible capacity while reusing grid connections and infrastructure associated with its former coal-generation sites.

Madison Energy launches 1GW DER community initiative. September 21, 2026 Features, Long Reads Renewables developer Madison Energy Infrastructure has launched a 1GW distributed energy resource (DER) initiative in the US. Called the Community Infrastructure initiative, the company aims to mobilise up to US$2 billion in capital to develop a gigawatt of capacity by 2028. The 1GW DER portfolio aims to meet the growing demand for power from artificial intelligence (AI), while creating and delivering lasting benefits for communities, according to the company. The announcement builds on an ecosystem Madison has been building over the years, which combines institutional capital and national scale with local development, community engagement, utilities and market expertise to build over 600 projects across more than 30 US states. "AI requires power at a speed and scale we've never seen before, and building that infrastructure successfully requires more than capacity," said Richard Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Madison Energy Infrastructure. "Community Infrastructure is about helping AI labs and hyperscalers show up for communities, not just in them. We've spent years cultivating the right relationships, development capabilities, and national ecosystem needed to turn that idea into local energy infrastructure at scale." The company added that even though utility-scale generation will remain essential to power this increased energy demand from data centres, it won't be enough to address the surging demand or local concerns about rising electricity prices and resource constraints. According to Madison, distributed solar and energy storage infrastructure can complement these investments by bringing new capacity online faster, cheaper and closer to where the electricity is consumed. Among the projects already underway are 50MW of standalone energy storage with not-for-profit utility CORE Electric Cooperative in Colorado; a 13MW/8.75MW solar-plus-storage project in development in Michigan; a 16MW solar PV project under construction with Denver International Airport; a 27MW offsite solar project nearing completion in Pennsylvania, or an ongoing partnership with data centre developer EdgeConneX. Moreover, the Community Infrastructure initiative aims to double the company's operational portfolio, with the company expected to surpass 1 GW of operational assets later this fall. It will also further expand the company's distributed generation (DG) assets even further. Last year, Madison acquired the DG assets of NextEra Energy Resources. A portfolio that comprises solar PV and energy storage assets across 25 states. A report from US-based electrification non-profit Rewiring America, published in September 2025, highlighted that DER, more particularly, residential solar and energy storage, could meet all the projected demand from US data centres over the next five years. The forecasted increase in power demand from data centres will not necessarily be tied only to utility-scale generation, but also to DER such as Madison's new initiative or residential solar and energy storage projects involving virtual power plants to power data centres.
Madison Energy Infrastructure launches 1 GW Community Infrastructure initiative. Sep 18, 2026, 09:00 ET Flagship initiative to mobilize up to $2 billion in capital to strengthen communities and bring distributed energy infrastructure to scale amid surging power demand The announcement builds on the company's projects already underway with businesses, utilities, data centers, and municipalities deploying solar and energy storage solutions NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Madison Energy Infrastructure ("Madison") today announced the launch of its Community Infrastructure initiative, a commitment to develop an additional 1 GW of distributed energy capacity by 2028, mobilizing up to $2 billion in capital to help meet AI's growing demand for power while creating and delivering lasting benefits for communities. AI is driving unprecedented electricity demand. Gigawatts of new data centers are being developed faster than traditional generation and transmission infrastructure can be built, intensifying pressure on an already strained grid. To date, this buildout has focused first on creating the necessary capacity to support the industry's continued growth. At the same time, communities across the country are looking for solutions that support this historic growth while delivering advantages closer to home. Madison's Community Infrastructure initiative flips this dynamic, seeking to build trust and value with communities first through distributed local infrastructure and then as aligned partners in AI's continued expansion. "AI requires power at a speed and scale we've never seen before, and building that infrastructure successfully requires more than capacity," said Richard Walsh, Chief Executive Officer of Madison Energy Infrastructure. "Community Infrastructure is about helping AI labs and hyperscalers show up for communities, not just in them. We've spent years cultivating the right relationships, development capabilities, and national ecosystem needed to turn that idea into local energy infrastructure at scale." While large-scale generation will remain essential, it cannot, alone, address surging demand or local concerns about rising electricity prices and resource constraints. Distributed solar and energy storage infrastructure complement those investments by bringing new capacity online faster, cheaper, and closer to where electricity is consumed, helping residents, businesses, and utilities manage rising costs and grid constraints. Today's announcement builds on an ecosystem Madison has spent years creating, combining institutional capital and national scale with local development, community engagement, utility relationships, and market expertise to build more than 600 projects across more than 30 states and a growing pipeline of distributed energy infrastructure serving utilities, businesses, municipalities, and data centers. Projects and partnerships already underway include: * 50 MW of standalone energy storage with CORE Electric Cooperative in Colorado to help the utility meet rising demand and emission reduction goals * 13 MW solar plus 8.75 MW energy storage project in development with the City of Niles at the Jerry Tyler Memorial Airport in Michigan to provide significant lifetime savings to the municipality * 16 MW solar project under construction with Denver International Airport to support one of the largest aviation hubs in the country * 27 MW offsite solar project nearing completion in Pennsylvania serving a national industrial client as a hedge against rising electricity prices in the PJM territory * Ongoing partnership with data center developer EdgeConneX to pair clean energy with the company's custom-built digital infrastructure "Maintaining a resilient and reliable electric system is more important than ever," said Chris Hildred, Chief Energy Supply Officer at CORE Electric Cooperative. "Partnering with Madison will allow us to deploy distributed energy storage at scale, helping enhance grid resilience, support reliability during periods of high demand, and position our system to meet our communities' future energy needs." "The buildout of AI infrastructure and data center capacity provides a unique opportunity to deliver clean energy and local benefits to communities across the country," said Andrew Brodeur, Vice President, National Real Estate and Sustainability Team Leader at EdgeConneX. "We are excited to grow our partnership with Madison and show up as a force for good in the communities we call home." Alex Darden, Head of EQT Infrastructure, Americas, said, "Power availability is increasingly the gating factor for how fast AI infrastructure can scale, and that pressure is further straining local grids. Community Infrastructure will help deliver reliable, affordable energy for communities in partnership with AI infrastructure developers as this buildout accelerates. Backing both digital and energy infrastructure companies, like EdgeConneX and Madison, gives EQT a unique vantage point on this challenge, and this initiative reflects our view that local energy needs and AI infrastructure growth are complementary, not competing, priorities." To deliver an additional 1 GW by 2028, Madison will leverage its utility relationships, market expertise, national project pipeline, and network of regional developers through AccelDev. Madison's operating portfolio is expected to surpass 1 GW later this fall. The Community Infrastructure initiative targets another gigawatt by 2028, effectively doubling the company's energy infrastructure footprint in two years.
