Thursday, 22 May 2025Independent energy expert and assurance provider DNV has been playing a key role in providing advisory services to Atlas Renewable Energy to secure $510 million in financing for the Estepa hybrid solar and battery storage project in Chile.This is the latest financing package in Atlas’ history, geared towards a project that combines 215 MW of solar capacity with 418 MW of battery energy storage (BESS), representing a transformative step in delivering reliable, dispatchable renewable energy to Chile's industrial sector while accelerating the country's clean energy transition.The Estepa project addresses two critical challenges in Chile's energy transition: providing stable renewable power to energy-intensive industries and integrating variable solar generation into the grid. Once operational in late 2026, the hybrid facility will generate enough clean electricity which can be compared to powering over 250,000 Chilean homes annually – directly supporting Chile's ambitious target of 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030.DNV played a pivotal role in supporting lenders’ credit analysis for this complex financing through comprehensive advisory services. The team conducted rigorous market due diligence to validate the project's positioning in Chile's evolving energy landscape, performed detailed analysis of the power purchase agreements with anchor clients Codelco and Colbún, and developed optimised battery dispatch strategies to maximise both grid value and revenue potential. This independent technical validation proved instrumental in securing competitive financing terms from a consortium of leading international banks, including Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas, DNB, SMBC, and The Bank of Nova Scotia.“This achievement demonstrates how hybrid renewable projects are rewriting the rules of grid reliability while delivering clean energy at scale” said Santiago Blanco, Vice President and Regional Director, Southern Europe, Middle East and Latin America, Energy Systems at DNV. “By combining solar generation with intelligent battery storage, Estepa creates a blueprint for how industrial energy users can transition away from fossil fuels without compromising on power quality or availability. I am happy DNV could contribute to this important energy transition project through our independent expertise.”The successful financing of Estepa marks a significant milestone in Latin America's energy transition, showcasing how innovative project structures coupled with rigorous technical adviseory can unlock capital for next-generation renewable energy solutions
OSLO, Norway, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DNV, the independent assurance and risk management provider, has been recognized by the European Commission as a notified body for the certification of devices under the European Union's In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). The designation increases capacity for certifying in vitro diagnostic devices and providing access to the EU market.DNV offers device manufacturers a fully digital process for faster, more transparent device certification.In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests used to determine a person's health status. They range from pregnancy and cholesterol tests through to HIV screening, COVID-19 tests and cancer marker detection. The safety and effectiveness of such devices is therefore crucial to public and personal health.The EU introduced the IVDR in 2017, replacing its previous In Vitro Diagnostic Directive 98/79/EC (IVDD). The IVDR provides a regulatory basis for establishing the safety and effectiveness of new IVD devices. A certificate of compliance with the IVDR will be required for most IVD device to be sold in the EU
Tuesday, 06 May 2025Independent energy expert and assurance provider DNV has deployed an innovative network of solar measurement stations across Italy to enhance the country’s renewable energy development, tracking solar irradiance and albedo, alongside enabling system optimisation and maximising energy yield.The network delivers real-time insights and long-term analysis, supporting project efficiency and strategic energy planning. This in turn helps to support Italy’s push to meet its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) targets and plays a strategic role in scaling up solar capacity.Unlike standard systems, DNV’s stations include dedicated albedo sensors tailored for bifacial solar modules - an increasingly dominant technology now accounting for nearly 40 percent of new solar projects in Italy. DNV research shows that optimising for albedo can increase energy output by up to 15 percent.“Italy has enormous solar potential, but turning that potential into performance depends on accurate, site-specific data” said Santiago Blanco, Vice President and Regional Director for Southern Europe, Energy Systems at DNV. “Our precise measurement stations provide exactly the kind of actionable insight developers need to deliver on Italy’s energy transition and Paris Agreement goals.”Each station is equipped with advanced soiling measurement capabilities, helping operators reduce cleaning costs by up to 30 percent while maintaining peak performance. This is especially important for bifacial modules, where ground reflectivity and cleanliness have a significant impact on energy output. The albedo analytics specifically address the growing market for bifacial solar technology, where traditional measurement approaches often fall short.The project was developed in partnership with Cubico Sustainable Investments, reflecting a shared commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition through data-driven innovation and demonstrating DNV's ability to combine global expertise with local market needs.For project developers, DNV’s resource measurement stations offer a comprehensive suite of benefits:Accurate solar irradiance and albedo data to improve bifacial module performance;Soiling ratio monitoring to optimise cleaning schedules and lower O&M costs;Reliable solar resource assessments to guide new site development and investment decisions.For additional information:DNV
