Today we celebrate Occupational Health & Safety Day!🌍⛑️ Occupational health and safety are essential pillars for the development of activities in a renewable energy company like FRV, where risk prevention and the protection of people are critical to ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable operations. In this context, the leadership and dedication of professionals such as María Palau, Brad Turner, Cristina Vélez, Cynthia Ávila, and all site managers play a key role in driving a strong safety culture across the organization, leading key initiatives while ensuring the protection and wellbeing of all employees. FRV’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System, structured in accordance with ISO 45001:2018 and fully aligned with FRV’s Sustainability Master Plan 2023–2026, reflects the company’s firm commitment to reducing occupational accidents, preventing risks, and establishing safe working conditions. While this certification is not mandatory in the sector, its implementation demonstrates FRV’s proactive approach to meeting high standards and continuously improving how we prevent risks and protect our teams. Across the organization, we define and implement clear health and safety objectives, integrating them into daily management and decision-making. This is reinforced by our Code of Conduct, which establishes safety as a shared responsibility and a fundamental part of how we work, with zero tolerance for negligent behavior and a strong focus on continuous improvement. #WorldDayforSafetyandHealthatWork #Safety #OccupationalHealth #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #FRV

Shaping the future of energy storage: FRV on stage in Europe's financial capital Last week, FRV Germany participated in the Europe Battery Energy Storage Summit 2026 in Frankfurt, joining policymakers, investors and industry leaders to discuss the next phase of the storage market. Our key takeaway: Scaling battery storage in Europe will depend less on technology alone and more on how policy, markets and project development come together. FRV contributed with two sessions across the day: Marina Villalante Sustacha shared perspectives on the “Importance of BESS in the Hyperscale Data Center”, highlighting how the rapid growth of digital infrastructure is increasingly linked to the parallel deployment of storage, both on-grid and off-grid. Amós Guillén Duarte, Managing Director of FRV Germany, joined the panel on “The Future Battery Energy Storage Ecosystem in Europe: Policy, Collaboration, and System Value”, where the discussion focused on how the next phase of storage deployment will depend on closer alignment between regulation, market design and project development. From the panel, a few themes stood out: ✅ Clear and stable policy frameworks remain essential to unlock long-term investment in storage. ✅ Collaboration between developers, utilities and investors is becoming increasingly important to scale projects efficiently. ✅ Communicating the full system value of storage is key to accelerating deployment and improving bankability. The conversations in Frankfurt once again highlighted that scaling battery storage in Europe is not only a question of technology, but of coordination across the entire ecosystem. Thank you to all speakers and participants for the insights.

👏 👏 Fantastic keynote from Marina Villalante Sustacha at Europe Battery Energy Storage in Frankfurt! #BESS #Storage #Germany #RenewableEnergy
I recently spoke at the Battery Energy Storage Summit about the role of BESS in enabling AI-driven data center demand. A few reflections from the discussion: ⚡ Grid constraints are becoming a defining factor. Data centers are growing fast, but grids were not designed for large, concentrated and continuous loads. Access is increasingly conditional, and system impact is now part of the equation. ⚡ Power quality and variability are emerging challenges. AI-driven workloads introduce rapid and unpredictable fluctuations in demand, affecting frequency stability and overall system performance. Managing these dynamics is becoming as critical as meeting the energy volume itself. ⚡ On-site renewables are part of the solution. Combining PV with BESS allows data centers to reduce reliance on the grid, gain more control over their energy supply, and improve cost-efficiency. Storage is what makes this integration workable, aligning variable generation with inflexible demand. BESS sits at the center of all three: enabling grid-compatible demand, stabilizing short-term dynamics, and unlocking scalable, on-site renewable solutions. Thanks ECV International for the organization of the summitt. Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV)
