‘Enhancing System Stability through Grid-Forming Energy Storage Technologies,’ has been launched by Energy-Storage.news, sponsor Kehua Digital Energy and TÜV Rheinland.
UK energy regulator Ofgem has shortlisted 16 projects for the first ever long-duration energy storage (LDES) cap-and-floor scheme, totalling 7.6GW of capacity ranging from 8- to 22-hour durations.
With ees Europe taking place in Munich, Germany, this week alongside Intersolar Europe and Smarter E, Energy-Storage.news takes a look at some expo highlights.
We caught up with the CEO of owner-operator BW ESS, Erik Strømsø, about the firm’s next deployment plans, tolling trends, procurement and LDES, with its 11.5-hour Bannaby BESS in Australia further proof of lithium-ion’s long-duration potential.
A roundup of recent large-scale BESS activity in the UK, with IPPs ContourGlobal, Zenobē and Revera buying or taking FID on three separate projects totalling 3.6GWh of capacity.
State of charge (SOC) is on the face of it a straightforward measurement for batteries and BESS. But in reality, it’s highly complex and under- or over-reporting still happens in the industry, leading to under-performance and losses in revenue.
Tank storage company Vopak has marked its energy into the BESS sector with a final investment decision (FID) for a 200MW/800MWh BESS in the Netherlands, which recently entered into a first-of-its-kind agreement with TSO TenneT.
US sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery startup Alsym Energy and consulting organisation for the mining and energy sectors, Erity, have signed a 9GWh strategic relationship agreement (SRA) for global mining use-cases.
Singapore-headquartered clean energy developer Vena Energy has raised AU$1.4 billion (US$970 million) in green finance to support 614MW of solar PV capacity and 1,141MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia.
A lot of work and thought still needs to go into maximising the potential for co-location of solar and BESS technology, panellists at the Clean Power 2030 Summit said yesterday (30 June).
French independent power producer (IPP) Neoen has been awarded a 20-year capacity services contract for its 200MW/1,600MWh energy storage project in Ontario.
In 2025, BESS installations surpassed 320GWh, a y-o-y increase of over 50%. While this tells one-side of the story, the growth in cell and system shipments tells an even more significant one, writes Benchmark’s Iola Hughes.
Three massive BESS projects have been launched in Europe: BW ESS has broken ground on a 1GW/5.7GWh system in Germany, while Greenvolt and Giga Storage have enlisted suppliers (BYD and Tesla) for 2.4GWh and 2.8GWh projects in Poland and Belgium.
